To celebrate all things Fairtrade, we organised an assembly delivered by Sarah from the Fair Do's shop. We learnt a lot about what Fairtrade are doing to help people get a fair wage and fair working conditions. We all wore our Fairtrade colours for the day to raise further awareness!
We then held our coffee afternoon!
A big thank you to everyone who came along and supported this cause! We were able to do a Fairtrade quiz, chat with everyone who attended and help Sarah to sell the Fairtrade produce from the Fairtrade shop, really testing our maths skills!
It was a great celebration afternoon, thank you to everyone who attended!

2018-19 Fairtrade Committee
Hi, my name is Rachel and I am in Year 6. I am the chair of the Fairtrade Committee. Along with Mrs Tuff, I ask questions and talk to the other Fairtrade members about targets we must achieve. We must aim for fair pay schemes for farmers around the world who are in need. The only way we can make a good profit is with your help. When we do different events we need your help with fundraising. You can also by products with the Fairtrade icon on them. I hope you all enjoy me being your Fairtrade chair. Thank you.
My name is Catherine and I am the Year 6 representative. I am 10 years old. I am the Fairtrade secretary, my job is to take notes in our meetings (which I have to organise) and sort out when we will do the Fairtrade fair and what we will have at the fair. I have to help prepare the agenda for everyone. I have to let everyone know when we will be having our meeting and where we will be having them. In events such as coffee afternoons, we get items from a Fairtrade shop called Fair-do's and we sell the items for the shop. I also have to give out letters for assemblies and events.
