This week  our school is participating in Eco Week.

During this week our school is trying not to use as much energy in order to save our world. We are trying to do lots of things like turn off our lights when we are not in the room and many  other things. We have special eco homework but we also have something to do  in class . We each got to pick what thing we want to do. Fortunately there were only two groups because almost everyone wanted to do the same thing. The two groups that were picked were to, create a poster about how litter can harm animals and the other was to plant mustard seeds and monitor their growth. Our homework that we have to complete in the Easter break is to buy some seeds and plant them in a biodegradable egg tray (provided by the school). When the whole school has completed their egg tray and hands it in, the school will put them out in the playground to look like a patch work garden.

So far I am enjoying Eco Week and I hope it continues . 🙂

On Thursday 26th of March primary 6 went to Hamilton College for a hockey tournament. We were split into 3 groups. We were  playing against other primary schools. In one game group 3 won 3 nil. We all were very excited because we had been getting hockey lessons for gym. It was very tiring because we had to be fast and if we took our eye off the ball we would have lost. Everyone had a great time.

I am going to tell you a poem about fairtrade.

Before Fairtrade the farmers were unhappy

Fairtrade came to help which made them happy

They don’ t  have enough money to buy food and water

You never know  they may have a wife, son or daughter.

Thank you for reading it.

On Friday the 6th of March we went to Dynamic Earth for our school trip.

Our favourite part was when we had to put on special glasses and watch a video and at one point foam came down from the ceiling down on to us.

We enjoyed touching the iceberg and seeing who could keep their hands on it for the longest.

Hello,

For the next two weeks it is Fair Trade fortnight. Fair Trade means to pay the farmers the right price for what they have produced. Fair Trade is really important because farmers take a long time to produce the products and they aren’t getting paid as much as they should be. Farmers sometimes have to do things to make the product that could harm them, so they really should be paid a fair price. Farmers only get paid vey little, which really isn’t  fair for the amount of work they do.

Thank you  for reading.

For the next few weeks in our school it is Fair Trade week. We have been starting to learn about cotton. A lot of years ago all over the world children were forced to work in factories for hours. That is one of the reasons why Fair Trade started. Fair Trade means to pay the farmers a fair price for the product they have made. Lots of companies buy cotton from the farmers but don’t pay a fair price. The farmers spent hours making cotton and they only get paid about £1 or 50p. I really want to make a difference to the poor farmers not getting paid enough money and try and get companies to be a part of Fair Trade.

Thanks for Reading !
