Hot Tips

These children from Trelawnyd School in Wales made leaflets inviting people from their village to see what they had been doing for Fairtrade. They had a competition for the best leaflet and piece of persuasive writing. They then delivered the leaflets around the houses in Trelawnyd.

Here are some poems the children from St. Brendan’s School in Lanarkshire have written for their Fairtrade Poetry book:

If you really care,
And want a world that’s fair,
with lots of things to share,
then spread the word
everywhere.
That’s Fairtrade!

  By Tony Pirie and Jamie Rankin, Primary 5

Change today, choose Fairtrade
Look at the difference it has already made
I am very lucky I have a bed
But poor children sleep on the floor instead
I don’t want things to be this way
So make a difference to their day
So every time you go to the shop
Always look for the green and blue spot.

  By Collette Wilson, Primary 6
