We celebrated World Book Day on Thursday the 2nd of March. The children dressed up as characters from their favourite books. The children brought their favourite books to school and also completed lots of book related activities throughout the day!
Fairtrade Fortnight has begun! It will run from the 27th of February until the 12th of March. The aim of Fairtrade Fortnight is to increase awareness of Fairtrade products and also to promote Fairtrade certified products. The children will be learning about Fairtrade and Fairtrade products in their classrooms throughout the fortnight. The children will also learn how to recognise the symbols for Fairtrade which can be found on Fairtrade certified products.
We will celebrate Fairtrade Friday on the 10th of March. The children will be asked to bring Fairtrade items in their lunches on this day. These items can include fruit, chocolate, biscuits and other treats (no nuts) as long as they are Fairtrade items. We will take pictures of these food items and collect the wrappers and packaging from all Fairtrade items. There will also be a raffle for a hamper filled with Fairtrade items! Tickets for the raffle cost 50 cent each or three for €1. Tickets can be bought in school throughout the week. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Trócaire.
