P4 Learning Reflections – 25.2.22

I liked learning all about Fairtrade Fortnight.  It was interesting that people need help.  I thought the farmers had enough but found out that they don’t.  I know that buying Fairtrade products can help them. – Murdo

I enjoyed creating the assembly. We used the green screen and had news reporters to tell the story about how farmers get paid fairly with Fairtrade. – Sevinc

I learned what Fairtrade is.  I had seen the logo before but now I understand what it means and how it helps farmers. – Sam

I really liked singing the Bananas are the Best song.. It was really funny! – James

I liked learning about how the cocoa beans grow.  It takes a really long time for them to be turned into chocolate. Farm owners get extra money called the Fairtrade Premium.  They use this to make their farms safer for workers. – Lewis

I liked learning about how the farmers take care of the banana plants.  They have to protect them from the bugs and they use really sharp knives to cut them down.  – Isaac

I enjoyed learning about the banana plantation in drama.  We turned into a working production line.  I also liked making a fraction wall in maths. – Sushanth

I enjoyed learning about Fairtrade.  I had seen the logo before but I had no idea what it was until now. – Zach
