Fair Trade Fortnight week 1

This is week one of Fair Trade Fortnight. At Glaitness each year we use Fair Trade Fortnight to learn about how our decisions about the food we buy and the clothes we wear can make the world a fairer place for farmers and their families around the world.

Pablo the Super Banana can explain what Fair Trade is and how it means people around the world are paid enough to look after their families.




We have made up some activity and game packs for classes to learn more about Fair Trade.

 Next week we will be selling Fair Trade Choc Chip cookies at the snack shack all week (or until they run out!).

The Global Goals - what can you do?

Global Goals at Glaitness

Each year at Glaitness we do some activities for Fair Trade Fortnight and Bag the Bruck. These  events mean we are working towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

Which goals do you think we are working towards with Fair Trade?

 Our group is going to share some activities with the whole school which each class can use to learn about Fair Trade. We have decided to have an assembly and make posters. We will sell cookies and maybe give stickers to people who buy fair trade choc chip cookies during fair trade fortnight.

Have a look at the videos on the symbaloo on the side bar to find out more about Fair Trade.
