We had a fair trade focus day on Friday. We have been learning about the Fairtrade story of bananas & chocolate this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday we started the day by making banana pancakes. These are really simple, just banana, flour & milk along with a little baking powder, no sugar!1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as thinking about Fair Trade we practiced our Food Technology, linked to hygiene and some maths measuring. Following a recipe uses our literacy skills too. Cooking is also good fun and over half the class thought the result was tasty. Banana seems to be fruit marmite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fairtrade information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our literacy lesson Miss Baxter work with us to create wrappers for imaginary Fairtrade chocolate wrappers. We were surprised as to how few chocolate bars are Fairtrade. We had to write in two genre, giving information about Fairtrade on the inside and designing a persuasive outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, the whole school gathered for an assembly, where we had a Fairtrade quiz and found out about the other classes about their activities: Fairtrade Friday! \u2013 Banton Bairns<\/a> & Fairtrade Fruity Fun & Fitness for Fairtrade Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of the day I asked the pupils to let us knowwhat fairtrade was in a paragraph, here are some responses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Fair trade is like a organisation that helps the farmers in the poor countries. Fair trade means the poor farmers can get paid a good amount for their hard work. Fair trade is an amazing thing that helps thousands of farmers that deserve a fair pay.<\/p>\nTony<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Fair trade is an organisation that makes sure that farmers get a fair price for their products that they are selling. You get fair trade bananas, chocolate, coffee and other stuff.<\/p>\nJuliet<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

FairTrade, it\u2019s a wonderful thing, it has 2 ways it supports farmers, Fairtrade minimum and Fairtrade premium. Fairtrade minimum has a limit to how low the price for cocoa in any Fairtrade product can go with coco. Fairtrade premium gives money to the community for every ton of cocoa sold.<\/p>\nRobert<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

Fairtrade is an organisation designed to help farmers who grow our food. The price is increased a bit on some of the food we buy that the farmers produce. The extra money all goes to the farmers, not where you are buying it. <\/p>\nGene<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
