Today we had the best fun taking part in World Book Day activities. We also developed our practical skills in the open kitchen where we prepared and baked Chocolate Banana muffins as part of our Fairtrade topic. We used Fairtrade bananas and Fairtrade chocolate products today.
Did you know:
- Six million people globally depend on growing cocoa to satisfy their sweet taste buds.
- Fairtrade has breathed a new lease of life into entire cocoa farming communities in the poorest parts of the world.
- In 1994, Green & Black’s Maya Gold chocolate bar became the first Fairtrade-certified product in the UK.
Check out the video ‘Guardians of the Rainforest‘ where 14-year-old Beshey shares the story of his family, explaining how a group of cocoa farmers have come together to protect the forest, and develop their communities through Fairtrade.
Also check out ‘The Story of Chocolate’ that shows how Fairtrade is working towards a living income for cocoa farmers.
REMINDER: Tomorrow is Pancake Breakfast! 😋 Parents are invited to come along and enjoy a pancake whilst watching the children sing.
