Today at assembly, the Eco committee introduced Fairtrade Fortnight which starts on Monday and runs for two weeks.

ARTICLE 27 – every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical, social and mental needs.

There will be special activities throughout the two weeks including

• homework competition
• fairtrade house tokens for children with Fairtrade snacks
• Fairtrade tuckshop every day at playtime
• Fairtrade activities in class.

homework competition

each child needs to design a Fairtrade tea/coffee/hot chocolate cup. The winning design will win 10,000 house points. This needs to be finished and returned to teachers by the 8th March.

Fairtrade house tokens

Samantha designed these EPIC Fairtrade house tokens and they will be given to children who bring in Fairtrade snacks during Fairtrade fortnight.

Fairtrade tuckshop

To support Fairtrade cocoa farmers, we will be selling Freddo, Fudge, Kit Kats and Maltesers during Fairtrade Fortnight. Prices range from 30 p to 60 p

We would appreciate your support during Fairtrade Fortnight, especially to encourage and help children with their Homework competition. This helps keep the children focused on the importance of ethical and fair trading.

Thanks

There will be a slight change to the menu for Friday:

Fish, Chips & Peas (Red)

Hot Dog (Green)

Lentil Soup (White)

Quorn Dog (Blue)

Chocolate Cake or Ice Cream

Sandwiches will still be available 🙂

Thank you for returning the permission slips for the lunchtime and afterschool numeracy clubs. Everyone who has returned a slip has been allocated a place.

We will be unable to serve steak pie on Thursday 14th February. Beef Burgers will be provided instead.

All other items on the menu will remain the same.

A huge thank you to all of the support for the HONEY.COMB business run by Primary 6/7 and Primary 7.

The children have learned so much from this topic and have had the experience of planning, organising and running a business.

We have sold almost all of the items.

There are about 10 pencils  and 10 wine charms left. These will be on sale until the end of the week.

Tomorrow is the last day to buy raffle tickets and this will be chosen on Thursday. The raffle contains the last jar of Woodlands Honey in the world!

The business was not only a great learning opportunity, but we raised over £400 towards outdoor learning resource for the school.

Thank you all again.

Finally, here is our last video – the bloopers!

Here is the moment you have all been waiting for.
