The Lord Mayor and Mayoress were also in attendance and the children were really excited to be able to meet them.

All in all it was a most enjoyable afternoon.

Later today Hala, Susan, Haroon and Nathan will be attending the Fairtrade Celebration at Leeds Civic Hall. The ambassadors are really excited to be attending, representing school and sharing their board game that they have created with other children.

Susan and Hala decide to have a quick game at breaktime to make sure that it all works.

It worked perfectly!

Fairtrade Council

This afternoon this year’s Fairtrade ambassadors met to talk about Fairtrade and how we can help and raise greater awareness in school.

In the Reading Tower (L – R) Amir, Jayden and Lana Middle Row (L-R) Shaza, Fatimah, Haroon and Shubab Front Row (L – R) Susan, Nathan and Hala

The ambassadors suggested that a newsletter/magazine could be created with articles, interviews, quizzes and wordsearches.

Miss Whiteley and Mrs Walker also talked to the ambassadors about the impending visit to the Fairtrade Celebration on 1st March where four of them would attend and deliver a workshop to groups of other Primary and Secondary school children.

Working in pairs the ambassadors cam up with some wonderful ideas for the workshop which they then presented to the rest of the council.

With great difficulty a board game idea was chosen with elements from two groups selected.
