• PLANTING FRUIT TREES with the Co-Op

  Thu 24 Feb 2022 D.Selfe

  This week was all about Fairtrade with a little help from The Co-op. As you know, we have been selected as a Local Cause which means The Co-op is fundraising for us. You can add to the pot by becoming Co-op members and selecting us as a local cause. 

  Join Co-op instore or visit coop.co.uk/membership to vote for local causes.

  We are raising money for our library to be more inclusive and diverse and reflect all of our pupils.

  The Co-op are supporting us in a number of projects. The crop pack is project number one!

  In assembly, we learnt about Marcial and Therese, banana and cocoa farmers in Panama and how they work as a Co-operative. We learned the term 'fair price' and 'co-operative' and thought about making good choices in our purchases if we want to support Fairtrade. Miss Perrin's class had a further discussion about sustainable clothing. It has been great to hear the children thinking critically about choices we make.  On Thursday, Samantha Queen form The Co-op, dressed as a banana, came to visit to plant some crops and to plant two fruit trees which will help us to 'grow our own' and contribute to sustainable planting. A great time was had by all.

  The Co-op are supporting us in a number of projects. The crop pack is project number one! We’ll be growing our own crops to sell as well as supporting the science curriculum and learning about growth. This also links to Fairtrade - a cause very close to Co-op’s core values. We were dressed in rainbow colours to express ourselves! We aim to grow as individuals and as a school and we can achieve this by being mindful of our mental and physical health. Thank you Co-op for our pack!
