Fair Trade

Leave a reply

Hello everyone, we have been learning about Fair Trade and how it affects the world around us.  This blog post is all about cotton.  Cotton is one of the most important crops in the global textile industry, basically that means that it is one of the most used fabrics/materials around the world. The working conditions for Africa and Eastern Asia are despicable i.e. child labour, governments forcing people in a terrible state to work and most of all, illegally employing children. We are all trying our hardest to support Fair Trade and by doing Fair Trade Fortnight we are all supporting Fair Trade.

Goodbye and Thank You

Leave a reply

Hello,

I would just like to say a massive Thank You to our wonderful teacher Mr Kettlewell. At the start of the year a musical person came into our school to teach, and Room 12 were lucky enough to get him. Mr Kettlewell taught our class for around about 3 and a half months. Room 12 and Mrs Lobodowska really miss him because he would always bring colour into everything and  had a very unusual ( in the good way ) sense of humor. If you are reading this now Mr Kettlewell, I would really like to say a humongous Thank You and Good Luck in your future of teaching.

Fairtrade Cotton

Cotton

Cotton is what some farmers rely on.

Cotton is one of the oldest crops in the world and most relied on.

Some farmers work 13 hours every day and don’t get much money which means they might die because they cant afford any money to buy food.

This is getting better because they are now getting fairer trades and are making more money.

The biggest producers of cotton is from US , China and India.

Hello,

Next week primary 6  will be going to Dynamic Earth. I have never been to Dynamic Earth but I am looking forward to going. We are going because our topic is about natural disasters. We have being learning about floods, volcanoes and earthquakes. What I found most interesting was the earthquakes. I find it most interesting to learn about the ground when it moves and shakes. I have never seen an earthquake. I would never like to be in one. I also like volcanoes. Scotland has an extinct volcano in Edinburgh. I have climbed the extinct volcano in Edinburgh.

Thank you for reading and I hope you like my blog post.

Tsunamis    25/02/15

P6 have been working on natural disasters.

Tsunamis are one of the worlds natural disasters. It is a deadly wall of water that can wipe out anything in its path. They are very hard to escape from if you are caught in one. They can kill people and wipe out cities and lots of people can be left homeless. The deadliest tsunami was the Great Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004. That was created by an earthquake that released the energy of 23,000 atomic bombs according to the U.S. and put millions of people out of homes.

Thank you for reading my post.

France

Hello!

Room 12 has been learning about France with Mrs Lobodowska for quite a long time now, and we would like to share some of the things that we have been learning. We have been learning about what the French eat, famous landmarks, famous people and lots more. We had a showcase all about France where we learned new things and also had a lot of food for all of the mums and dads and us. We also got to dress up as a French person and it was really fun and I enjoyed doing it.  I hope we can do something like this again.
