This week, Year 5 have been working on their oracy skills in their Geography lesson, creating persuasive speeches to try and convince people to try and buy more Fairtrade products. Year 5 were exceedingly passionate about this topic and all gave very empowering and emotive speeches.
Throughout this term, Year 5 have learnt that Fairtrade is about better prices, safe working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers.
Within this unit, pupils have been looking at the impact that fair trade farming has on the farmers in less developed countries and the positive effect that the Fairtrade cooperative has on their lives.
It was fantastic to listen to these excellent speeches given by Year 5!
