Over the next two weeks our school are going to be learning about Fair Trade because it is Fair Trade Fortnight.
One of the main problems is gold mining which is the topic I am going to be focusing on.
Gold is one of the main problems because of the poison in the mines. They only do it because the need to, to survive and there also is a big demand for it.

Buy Fair Trade!
In my blog I am going to tell you a bit about fair trade and I am also going to tell you where you can buy fair trade products.
Where you can buy fair trade products.
A bit about fair trade cotton.
Cotton is one of the world most oldest commercial crop. 300 million people are much happier now because of fair trade. Fair trade people have bought their product and these farmers got a fair price. The price of cotton has gone down in the last 30 years so farmers are struggling to survive in these countries- India, Kyrgyzstan and West Africa.

Hello,
In school we had a fun task to do. We were working in a group to do activities. The group we were working in had to create a product and music to go with it. The product our group came up was a chocolate banana. We had instruments to create a beat along with lyrics. We made a poster it was a banana skin with chocolate in the middle. We really enjoyed our task and we performed it in front of the class. It was funny!.
Thanks for reading !!

Cotton
For the next two weeks primary 6 are going to be looking at Fair trade. So far this week we have been looking at cotton. Cotton is the oldest and the biggest commercial crop. The reason cotton farmers are so poor is because of the high levels of illiteracy and the limited land holding. Some of the shops which sell fair trade clothes are M&S, People Tree and Sainsbury’s. We have also been doing raps, posters, making a product and doing drama acts. I did a rap. Here is my rap.
Helping Fair trade
Before fair trade the farmers were so unhappy
so we came to help which made them happy.
They thought it was so funny to see all the workers lose that money.
The bosses were so lucky, but what they didn’t know was workers were losing.
cotton cotton its so cosy. Its really soft for your nosy.
But there is one thing that disappoints me is that children need to work for forty.
Help us save the children in needy. By getting all the big people un greedy.
Sour as a lemon like bosses are.
But if you buy fair trade they’ll all go very far. So help the farmers for their work.
And make sure everybody’s getting a fair trade.
Thanks for listening to our rap. Remember buy fair trade and make the farmers glow.

Stephen and Cameron 🙂
For the next two weeks it is Fairtrade Fortnight and I am going to write about cotton.
26.4% of Benin’s exports is cotton and 58.7% of Burkina Faso’s is cotton as well. 100 Million households are engaged in cotton growing. Estimated about 300 million people work for cotton households. Cotton is the oldest commercial crop. Cotton is vital for the survival of many people in Africa and the Central and Western Asia. The farmers are nervous about the climate change affecting the crops and poor prices for seed cotton.
Thank you for reading my blog and please leave a reply.
