Fairtrade Fortnight has begun! The International Group held a special Fairtrade assembly last Friday to get everyone in the Fairtrade mood. The theme this year is to look at how Fairtrade helps farmers and their families and the focus is on Fairtrade tea, sugar and cocoa. There are two main competitions: design a Fairtrade mascot and design a Fairtrade birthday card or cake (as Fairtrade Fortnight is celebrating 20 years this year) – see your teacher or International Group Rep. for more details. Each class will also design a Fairtrade patch for our quilt picture. And don’t forget about Fairtrade Fridays when you are encouraged to bring in a Fairtrade snack – the winning class each week will get a certificate. Enjoy the Fairtrade fun!
