This morning we have been busy getting ready for our Fairtrade Breakfast Event!

We have made the pancake mixture, made the Fairtrade Chocolate Spread and got everything organised for what will be an amazing event! We can’t wait to see you all at Parents’ Night tonight and for you to try our delicious pancakes and spreads!

Today we made Fairtrade Chocolate Spread. You can try it at our Fairtrade Breakfast at Parents’ Night this Thursday!

Today we had a meeting and discussed the following:

Fairtrade Fortnight: The committee would like to repeat last years Fairtrade tuckshop and try to beat last year’s record profit of £97. The committee would also like to run a series of assemblies in the run up to and during this fortnight to promote Fairtrade within the school.

Fairtrade Breakfasts: As part of the Fairtrade fortnight focus on breakfasts the committee would like to run a stall at the Parent’s Meetings in March to promote Fairtrade. They plan to give away homemade Fairtrade pancakes covered in Fairtrade condiments e.g. jams and spreads for a small donation to the Fairtrade Foundation. The committee is very excited about this event.

Fairtrade baking recipes: The committee would like to extend this and encourage people to send in their recipes that we could alter to make them Fairtrade. nRemember one change to Fairtrade can make a huge difference!

Next Meeting Thursday 11th February at 10am

3. Mr McCrorie will organise volunteers for stall runners for the Fairtrade stall at the Christmas Fayre. This stall will sell Christmas cards.

4. Investigate making the ‘cookie jars’ that P3/4 and P6/7 are making for the Christmas Fayre with Fairtrade products to help promote Fairtrade within the community.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 15th December at 10am. Please feel free to comment on this post in the meantime if you have any ideas or suggestions.
