Fairtrade Fortnight
We are now in Fairtrade Fortnight. At this point in the year,
we talk to the children about the impact of what we choose
to buy, on the lives of the farmers around the world. We try
to get them to recognise that buying a fairly traded product
means a fair amount of money is paid to the farmers and
their workers. This is a difficult concept to understand but
we hope that through discussion at home and school, the
children will become more aware of how their buying habits
influence people’s lives around the world. There will be a
whole school assembly for children and staff on Monday
13th March to mark the beginning of our work on Fair Trade,
followed by a Fair Trade Gift Shop. Children will be able to
purchase a variety of handcrafted items, such as, small musical instruments, friendship bracelets, notebooks and dolls
etc. Prices will range from 50p—£3. 10% of the proceeds
will be given to our sponsored child in Nepal. The remaining
90% will go to Fairtrade.
Sporting Events
We have children taking part in the Swimming Gala on
Wednesday 8th March 2017 and our netball team will be
participating in a tournament on Wednesday 1st March
1-3pm. Both events will take place at Kingsway Leisure
Centre.
Good luck to both teams!
