Year 6 concluded their work on trade by learning about Fair Trade. We were shocked to find out that if a banana were to cost 30p for us to buy in the supermarket, banana plantation workers would only receive 1p. We thought they deserved more than this after finding out about how hard their job is.…

As part of our DT topic on shelters, we have been investigating techniques for making strong, stable structures using a variety of materials.
