We have raised lots of money to help UNICEF and have bought life saving gifts. We saved at least 60 people’s lives with a medical box full of life saving things, 1800 water purification tablets and 100 doses of life saving vaccines for people in need abroad. We have done this by saving and using the money raised in our Tuck Shops, raised by people buying our Fairtrade products and handmade keychains. Thank you to everyone who has given money to us so we can help the people that need it.

Cooking with Chartwells

For the past two weeks, 6 Year 4s have had the chance to work with some cooks from Chartwells with their families to create some yummy dishes in a cookery workshop! Everyone has loved working with their adults to create these new meals and are so proud of their creations. The children have even been helping more with cooking at home, as each pair is given a bag of ingredients to take away alongside a recipe to follow at home! Well done everyone!

In preparation for our Parliamentary Coffee Morning, members of the Rights Respecting Council, along with the help of Art Ambassador Hannah, have been creating some beautiful handmade beaded keyrings to sell alongside our Fairtrade sweet treats.

Fairtrade Ambassador Ava, along with Hannah, helped Mrs Nicholson in selling our products at the Coffee Morning and parents and carers were wowed by our crafting skills!

A big thank you to everyone who helped create keyrings during our Rights Respecting Council meetings!

On Thursday afternoon, members of the Rights Respecting Council, with the help of Mrs Nicholson, held our very first Fairtrade Tuck Shop of the year to help celebrate and raise awareness of Fairtrade Fortnight! We managed to raise lots of money to help farmers and workers receive a fair wage.
