The event was a great success, it was very busy and all the cakes and cookies were sold.

Fairtrade Pass it On
A number of parents braved the cold and the snow this morning to join Lucy from the Co-op who was sharing a recipe for Fairtrade Cappuccino Cupcakes.
Everyone enjoyed the morning and couldn’t wait to try the cupcakes once they were baked – they were delicious!

Fairtrade Planning Meeting
This afternoon Hannah from Leeds DEC and children from Abbey Grange, Ireland Wood Primary and Woodlands Coop Primary met with us (Stella, Kai, Joshua, Isobel and Ben) in the café to talk about this year’s Fairtrade message and to plan workshops that each school would be running at the Fairtrade Celebration at Leeds Civic Hall on 2nd March.
The children came up with lots of great ideas which Mrs Walker and I look forward to being realised at the celebration.
Fairtrade Ambassadors Wanted!
Mrs Walker and Miss Whiteley are looking for four children (KS2) that would like to become Fairtrade Ambassadors for our school.
You will need to be able to promote all things Fairtrade, be able to talk to groups of children/your class and be full of good ideas about how we can raise awareness.
The Ambassadors will also be 
involved in organising events during Fairtrade Fortnight and will attend the Fairtrade Celebration Ceremony at Leeds Civic Hall and represent our school.
If you are interested please see Mrs Walker or Miss Whiteley to find out more.
