Fair Trade Friday

To support Fairtrade Fortnight the Eco Team organised ‘Fairtrade Friday’. Children were asked to dress in Fairtrade colours and donate to the Fairtrade Foundation. Special Fairtrade assemblies were held and there was a Fairtrade cake sale and tuck shop after school. The Eco Team gave out leaflets to explain what Fairtrade is and they sold cakes, chocolate bars and even tea bags to raise money for the Fairtrade Foundation. Over £400 was raised!
