A Fair Future Episode 1 – The Climate Crisis Isn’t Fair!
The climate crisis affects us all. But some communities are feeling it much more than others, even though they have done the least to cause it. Step back in time to learn about the inequality at the heart of the climate crisis, and how it is still running through these countries today.
Beatlie Fairtrade Cafe
Beatlie Fairtrade Café
It is with regret that Beatlie will not be opening their doors for the Fairtrade Café just yet!
However………
Do not fret – the café will come to you!
Friday 25th February
All classes will be making a Tray Bake of their choice using at least 1 Fairtrade product in their ingredients. We will be designing our own label for the product and it’s packaging which will allow us to send the goodies home for you to enjoy with a good Fairtrade coffee or Tea together with friends and family.
This year the focus is on Fairtrade and Climate Action and throughout the week you can have a look at the blog to find out more on the issues affecting people all over the world due to Climate Change and why Fairtrade is so important!
If you would like to donate to Fairtrade this week please send any monies in with your child in an envelope.
Thank you
Fairtrade Fortnight 2022
Today is the start of Fairtrade Fortnight: 21 February – 6 March 2022
What is Fairtrade Fortnight?
For two weeks each year, at the end of February and start of March, thousands of schools, colleges and universities across the UK come together to learn from the people who grow our food and drinks, mine our gold and who grow the cotton in our clothes – people who are often exploited and underpaid.
Through learning about how we are all connected through the things we eat, drink and wear, young people are equipped with the knowledge and skills to shape a more compassionate and sustainable world.
This year the theme is:
Climate, Fairtrade and You
So, this Fairtrade Fortnight, we invite you to stand with farmers and workers seeking climate justice!
This week we will be sharing information and resources for you to look at and get involved at home and spreading the message to others.
You can also get involved by visiting the Choose The World You Want Festival

World Food Day Poster Competition
World Food Day was highlighted and celebrated on the 16th October. As part of our learning here at Beatlie we looked food journeys and how/why we can and should do better.
To share our learning we all participated in a poster competition – please have a look at the great work we all had fun making! Some more photos may also be shared on their Learning Journals.
