What a fantastic fortnight we had in Beatlie exploring all that is Fairtrade!

We had fun participating in the baking activity making tray bakes for all our friends and family to enjoy at home as we were unable to hold our coffee morning!

We experienced story massage listening to stories and songs about Fairtrade while relaxing.

Messy Play was fun exploring rice, coffee and chocolate!

We also participated in ‘Climate’ activities such as Litter Picking, Recycling and Gardening.

We hope you enjoy looking at all our hard work and experiences on the Learners Journals but we would also like to give a

HUGE THANKS for all the donations made for Fairtrade Fortnight!

We raised £64 from our virtual coffee morning.

Here are a few photos of some of our frieds enjoying their traybake at home.
