Fair Trade, Chocolate and The Harvest Festival

Our school has a Harvest Festival every year. This year we focused on Fair Trade. We learned about how hard it is to produce fair trade chocolate. It's a lot of work. You need to cut down the cocoa pods with a machette, cut them open, wrap them in banana leaves and then leave them for a couple weeks and dry in the sun. The bad beans are thrown away. The good ones are put in sacks and weighed. Then they are shipped to the factory. In the factory it's made in to chocolate bars . YUM YUM!

Mr Carter - Our School Vicar

I interviewed Mr Carter the vicar on Monday and I thought you might like to know what he said so here we are. Mr Carter has been a vicar at Holy Trinity Church for 19 years. He has been a governor of the school for most of that time (18 yrs). Duncan (which is his Christian name) knows all the teachers including Miss Dowling and Mrs Robinson the new teachers. He also knows lots of the children (mostly Yr 5). Mr Carter does like doing assemblies especially when children give good answers. So that is some of the things he said and I hope you enjoyed it.
