Year 9 celebrate Geography of Happiness with a ‘Fair Trade’ breakfast

edit

The Geography department hosted a ‘bring and share’ Fair Trade breakfast this week to link in with the Geography of Happiness  unit of work exploring  Global Development. Having recently experienced the trade game to understand the benefits and challenges of international trade, this provided an opportunity for the year 9’s to learn about alternative ways of trading.

The pupils very much enjoyed eating their own food as well as flapjacks made with Fair Trade ingredients (thanks to Mrs Dracup), fruit such as bananas, and sampling some Fair Trade chocolate. They also completed a quiz and made some Fair Trade bunting during their time together before school officially started. Pupils left having a greater understanding of how much trade influences our everyday lives and what they can do to help make sure their money goes to those who need it.
