As part of our Fairtrade and Rights Respecting School focus week, P6 learnt about the difference between wants and needs and how they link to our rights. We looked at a day in the life of a typical Ugandan Primary School child (Magale is in Uganda) and thought about their wants and needs. We were able to see that although their wants would be very different, we all have the same needs. We then looked at a Fairtrade case study to see how Fairtrade can help families get what they need and how we can make a difference.
Hallie, Katie and Oskar are looking forward to sharing what we have learnt with the rest of the school in our assembly tomorrow. We think you might be surprised at how different a typical Ugandan school child’s day is to your own!
