Fairtrade Ambassadors Wanted!
School Council representatives will be busy over the next few weeks designing posters to advertise that school is looking for 4 children to become fair trade ambassadors.
After the Christmas holidays look out for the posters if you are interested in applying to be one of the ambassadors.
Peer Learning Toolkit – Garment Workers
This afternoon School Council took part in a workshop about garment workers led by Hannah from Leeds DEC.
Through various activities and case studies they learnt about in which countries most of their clothes and shoes are made in, tried being a factory worker making baseball caps and designed t-shirts.
School Council will be looking at running their own workshops with children in KS1 and KS2.
Next Meeting – 2nd April
The next school council will be held on Wednesday 2nd April.
We will be focusing on Fair Trade by reviewing the events that took place in school during Fair trade fortnight. We will also be discussing possible future events and how we as a school can continue to raise awareness.
