Fairtrade Fortnight got off to a great start last week and it all started with a thought-provoking assembly, led by a local Fairtrade speaker. Fairtrade Friday was a huge success. Year 6 pupils worked together with Green Team, running a bake sale, a tuck shop selling Fairtrade snacks and hot drinks. We also had an information desk, raising awareness of Fairtrade amongst parents.
