Fairtrade Fortnight Week 2
What a fantastic 2 weeks of Fairtrade Activities we have immersed ourselves in at Beatlie.
Thank you to all the staff for providing and supporting the children in participating in such fun activities and sharing the message of how important it is for us all to support Fairtrade Farmers and Workers in the world we live in today!
Fairtrade Fortnight Week 1
(Article 27, every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and social needs and support their development)
What a busy week we have had immersing ourselves in all things Fairtrade!
Please have a look at the films below to give you a taster of what we have been up to.
Foodbank Collection
THANK YOU
Wow what generosity! Amazing to see so much come into school despite the circumstances we are under at the moment. There will be very appreciative families out there who will be so thankful for the donations you have given, so on behalf of those families and from Beatlie – Thank You!
Under normal circumstances we would have a visit to the foodbank with some of the children taking the boxes along – unfortunately we will not be able to do this at this time so a member of staff is arranging a drop off for next week.
Welly Boot Planters
I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all who donated some of their old/unused wellies. They are fantastic and have been put to good use.
I have put together a sway to show you what we have done with the wellies and hopefully in May/June we can update you with some beautiful ‘blooming’ flower displays!
We have made some bee homes so it will be brilliant if the flowers attract them to the courtyard garden.
Fairtrade Fortnight & The Sustainable Development Goals
Fairtrade Fortnight 2021
Fairtrade Fortnight 2021
Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 will take place from
Monday 22nd February to Sunday 7th March
This annual campaign, brings together everyone interested in fighting for justice for people and our planet.
Fairtrade, Climate and You
In Fairtrade Fortnight 2021, we will focus on the growing challenges that climate change brings to farmers and workers in the communities Fairtrade works with. Farmers and workers are feeling the impact of the climate emergency now despite having contributed to it the least.
They tell us that:
- Climate change is one of their biggest challenges right now.
- Low prices for their crops mean that they are struggling to fight back.
- With more money through Fairtrade, they feel more equipped to meet their everyday needs and deal with the challenges posed by climate change.
This Fairtrade Fortnight, we are asking you to #ChooseTheWorldYouWant
