This week in our EYFS classroom, we had a deliciously exciting activity: making our very own Fairtrade banana milkshakes! Not only did we get to enjoy a yummy treat, but we also learned about where our food comes from and how we can help others around the world.
A big thank you for all the donations – we raised £76 – to be split between CAFOD and buying educational resources for your children to use in the EYFS Unit.
🌍 What is Fairtrade?
Before we started blending, we talked about the Fairtrade logo and what it means. The children discovered that Fairtrade helps farmers and workers in other countries earn a fair price for their crops—like bananas! We looked at pictures of banana farms and talked about how choosing Fairtrade helps families live better lives.
💛 Raising Money for CAFOD: Small Acts, Big Impact
When it comes to making a difference, you don’t need to move mountains—you just need to move hearts. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing in our EYFS Unit as we raise money for CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development), a charity that brings hope, dignity, and practical support to people living in poverty around the world, together with using some to provide educational resources for our classroom.
