P6/7 Chocolate testing

Leave a comment

This term the P6/7 class have been learning about Fair Trade.

We tested different types of chocolate and we had to guess which one was fair trade.

We had a dark chocolate square each and we rated it 1-10. then we had another dark chocolate square and rated it 1-10 then we guessed which one was Fair Trade.

We did the same for milk and white chocolate, there was Green and Blacks and Mackies dark chocolate, then Galaxy and Green and Blacks milk for the milk chocolate, then there was Milky Bar and the Co-ops White chocolate.

Fun fact: did you know that Galaxy and Milky Bar are not Fair Trade?

Galaxy won with the highest rating from the class. Yum yum!

The Shoebox appeal

Leave a comment

On Friday the 13th of September

A lady from Inverness came to speak to us about The Shoebox Appeal.

She told us that you can put items such as hats, gloves, soap, toothpaste, toys and sweets as long as they are in there best before and it is not chocolate.

She also explained to us a story about a little girl and her mum they lived in a house with no electricity or water and she had to walk 25 football pitches to get to school.

She said that there was a boy that was in hospital because his mum was sick and he got a shoebox and he was very happy because he got haribows in his shoebox.
