Fairtrade talk
We had a visitor today in Primary 2 to tell us a little more about our topic, Fairtrade. One of our parents, Mr Mariner, is an employee of Co-op supermarket which sells a large range of Fairtrade products and is involved in many Fairtrade projects.
He told us about the lives of farmers and their families in other countries, and how we can help them by buying the Fairtrade products they produce.
He brought with him a selection of Fairtrade products his supermarket sells such as tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate, bananas and even cotton wool.
As a treat for listening to his presentation so well he gave all the children a cookie with Fairtrade chocolate chips and a Fairtrade banana each to take home.

Feelings and Emotions
We have been discussing our feelings and emotions in Primary 2 to help us verbalise how we feel and what we can do to change/improve how we feel.
By knowing and identifying how we feel, we can create solutions to problems we might have and hopefully improve our wellbeing.

Comments Off on Class charter
Class charter
At the start of the school year in August, we created a Class Charter together as a class.
After a discussion about their rights as children, the rights they share with every child in the school and the world, we created a set of rules. These rules were created by thinking about how we show respect to other and how other show respect to us, and every child agreed to this by signing our Class Charter.
We continually refer to the charter, together with our School Values, to ensure that everyone is being respectful and respected.
