Fair trade fortnight takes place every March to celebrate all things Fair trade. It focuses on encouraging people to switch to Fairtrade products so that farmers and workers overseas can protect the planet and safeguard the future of some of the UK’s favourite foods. P6/7 took assembly to tell the other pupils what fair trade was about and ways they could support it. They acted out a small skit to show how fair trade began and then reminded us from the Bible that God encourages us to be fair and share with others.
They also organised a Fair Trade break, selling Fair Trade bananas and Rice Krispie buns that they made themselves. The profits from the break sale will be sent to the Fairtrade Foundation which works directly with businesses and consumers to secure better deals for farmers and workers.
