First of all I would just like to say a huge thank you to all who attended and donated towards our Fairtrade Coffee Morning. We managed to raise £66.10 and exceeded our initial target set by the Co Op. Here are some pictures from the successful morning.
Over the past few weeks we have learned a lot about Fairtrade. We started off our topic discussing what we already knew about Fairtrade. Not many of us had heard of Fairtrade before.
We then had a look at some objects related to Fairtrade. We discussed together what they each showed and then decided which interested use the most. From this we decided as a class what we wanted to start learning about first.
We started learning about what kinds of Fairtrade products there are sold in the Uk. We worked together to research these products. From our research we created our own shopping lists.
Some groups even used their mathematical skills and used the calculators to total up how much their shopping would cost.
In writing we also listened to the story of Pablo the Super Banana. We learned that Pablo made sure that all the farmers got the pay they deserved. We then wrote our own stories about Pablo.
Finally before our coffee morning we used Fairtrade chocolate to create Krispie cakes for our parents and carers to eat.
