Hello everyone,

This week our class have been focusing on cotton for Fair Trade Fortnight.

Cotton is one of the world’s largest and oldest commercialised crops. Cotton is also one of the most important fibre crops globally. If you buy clothes made with Fair Trade cotton you are helping farmers all around the world, especially in Central and West Asia and Africa. I have researched and found out some shops such as Marks and Spencer’s, Sainsbury’s and People Tree sell Fair Trade clothing items.

Our class also split into groups. One group was to design a poster for Fair Trade. Another one was to create a song and make a product and advertise it. There was a drama group and the last group was to make a rap about Fair Trade. I was in the drama group. We had to create a scene which shows what Fair Trade is.

Please help farmers  by buying Fair Trade. Thank you.
