How fair is Fairtrade

Additionally, we will also explore  the journey of food from farm to plate and how we can use this information to make smart decisions about what we eat.
 

English - Non chronological reports. Inspired by  the Avatar trilogy of films, the pupils will design their own planet, including the environment, fauna and flora ( linking to our space topic).  Linking to geography, pupils will write a persuasive letter to a non-fairtrade company about why it is important that they join this initiative.
