We started our learning about fair trade today by using fair trade chocolate to make top hats to sell at our fundraiser tomorrow.
First we we had to wash our hands. Then we put out the paper cases. Next we broke up the chocolate and melted it in the microwave. Then we put some chocolate in a paper case, added a marshmallow and then put a smartie on top!
After break we had a whole school assembly and a lady from the Co-op came to tell us all about things they sell that are fair trade. They sell lots of fair trade things like bananas, chocolate and coffee.
In the afternoon we learned about what fair trade means. It means the people who work hard growing things get a fair amount of money. This means they can look after their family, send their children to school and use some money to help their business. This makes them happy!
we made some fair trade products in art using collage!
