Fairtrade | St Nicholas Primary School

We have had a busy week in class learning lots of new things.

Marwa – we have been learning about Fair trade as this is Fair trade overnight

Christy – if you put Fair trade banana skins on mosquito bites they go away.

Ellie – I learned that in the UK people eat over 5 billion bananas in a year.

Max – over 1.66 million farmers and workers produce Fair trade products.

Ciaran – there are over 100 billion different Fair trade bananas produced a year.

Paula – we learned about the grid method of multiplication

Mirin – we made a Titanic display.

Max – we drew pictures of first and third class passengers from the titanic

Kacper – we have been researching facts about the Titanic

Phoebe– we completed our well being check in.

Cerys – for homework we researched a language

Charlie – we have been learning bout Michelangelo and his image of God.

We have been using our own devices to complete research and find out more about Fair trade and the Titanic.

Primary 6 opened their doors this afternoon to share their learning with parents, grandparents, aunties and friends. They were all very enthusiastic and throroughly enjoyed telling everyone about the links they have made with so many different curricular areas through the Storyline of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have looked at characterisation in-depth, gone through the process of designing and carrying out the classroom transformation, found out about the journey of chocolate and how important Fairtrade is to those involved in the cocoa bean trade, invented our own sweets, created some fantastic acrostic poems and learned to illustrate in the style of Quentin Blake. It has been a great topic and this is just the tip of the iceberg – there has been a lot more learning involved.
