On the 12th of March 2015 our class ( room 12 ) had a leaving party for Mr Kettlewell.
It was a great party, however Mr Kettlewell ate all of the crisps. We had biscuits , cakes and sweets. All of us ate loads of food. Then Mr Kettlewell put on his music and we had to guess what language it was in!
At the end Mr Kettlewell put on Run on and every one started singing.
Thanks for reading our blog.
We will miss you Mr Kettlewell!

Goodbye Mr Kettlewell,
Unfortunately last Friday Mr Kettlewell, our temporary class teacher left so he could teach his own class. He was a great teacher as he introduced a lot of things we had never done before. He taught us about 2D and 3D shape, which was very interesting. He taught us about Natural Disasters and introduced us to philosophy and drama. We have done drama in the school before, but it was great doing drama with Mr Kettlewell. We had never done philosophy before and it turns out most of the class really liked it. We even have a nickname for him which is Oreo. Last Thursday was the last whole day we had with with Mr Kettlewell( as Friday was book day) so we had a little party to celebrate him leaving our class and becoming a teacher of his very own class. We were all so happy for him but were also very sad to see him go.
We are so happy for Mr Kettlewell and even though it’s only been a week, we miss him very much.

Over 60 per cent of the world depends on cotton farmers to bring them cotton. Cotton is a plant and it comes from Asia, Africa and India but is dominated by the U.S.A and China. Cotton is a plant that everyone uses and is one of the most vital plants there is. It is a soft material that is farmed on fields.

Cotton is the worlds oldest crop. Cotton is produced mostly by China, India and the USA. Cotton is vital for survival of many low countries such as: Central and West Asia and Africa.
Cotton farmers work in developing countries such as India and China. There are 100 million households engaged with cotton and there are an estimated 300 million people who work in the cotton industry. For farmers, the challenges range from climate change to getting a fair amount of money for their cotton. Fairtrade cotton was launched to put the attention on cotton farmers who were often left unknown. 60% of cotton around the world is produced by people who are small farmers and often the worlds poorest people. Fair trade works with more than 66,000 farmers in some of the worlds poorest countries.
I hope this has encouraged you to start buying fair trade.

PHILOSOPHY IS AMAZING !
Philosophy is amazing because it is really fun when we have to agree and disagree with other people. Sometimes we will get a text to read and we will ask questions and our Philosophy teacher Mr Kettlewell, will write them down on his note pad. There would usually be about 13-15 questions being asked, and then he would pick one and then we start to do the agreeing and the disagreeing.
TRY IT YOURSELF!!

60% of people in poor countries are working in small farms. Over 40 million small farmers are forced to work for bigger companies for unfair prices. I hope I have encouraged you to buy fair trade to help small farmers.
Cotton
Primary 6 are looking at Fair trade, especially cotton. This week we are going to look at cotton and how children need to work. Sometimes children are only 6 or 7 years old when they have to go out and work. India and China are leading producers when it comes to cotton. Farmers who produce cotton are sometimes very poor because they have to send lots of cotton over to different shops all around the world and they don’t get paid much.

Hello,
Our school is involved in fair-trade, our class have been focussing on cotton. These are some of the things that we know : cotton is the world’s oldest and well known material in the world; there are cotton farmers in several countries like India and China, fair trade cotton is made by the farmers that are often left invisible and not in the spotlight.
Thanks for reading!

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.

Hello everyone this is a blog post about tsunamis and volcanoes and how they are made.
Tsunamis are formed by underwater earthquakes. The earthquake causes water to rise on the surface.
A volcano is a mountain that has a pool of molten rock. This rock comes from the mantel, a layer in our earth. The molten rock pushes up into a mountain creating something called a magma chamber. It builds up pressure and then explodes. We have been working very hard to make this blog. Please comment. We would love to hear what you think and about any things we have missed out. A big thank you to Mrs Lobodowska and Mr Kettlewell (the best teachers ever) 🙂
