Chocolicious...Delicious!

 On Friday 1st March Houston Primary School set up Chocolicious…Delicious at the West Halls in Houston in partnership with Houston and Kilellan Kirk. The doors opened to the community to raise funds for Fairtrade. Pupils prepared Fairtrade chocolate stirrers and tray-bakes prior to the event with support from staff and parents. On the day, the stirrers were added to milk to make delicious Fairtrade hot chocolate. A wonderful selection of Fairtrade home baking was also provided by volunteers from the Houston and Killellan Kirk. The event was an amazing success and raised much needed funds for the Fairtrade Foundation.

Thank you to everyone who came along to support this event.
In school we also had our very own Fairtrade shop for our pupils and staff to purchase hot chocolate stirrers.

Chocolicious Delicious Preparation

 Mrs Morrison accompanied by Mr and Mrs Dooley, supported our Primary 7 pupils to prepare Fairtrade chocolate stirrers for our Chocolicious Delicious event on Friday 1st March from 10.00-11.30 in the West Halls, Main St, Houston.

Please come along and support this community event. Great value at just £2.00 for a hot drink, a cake and a blether, whilst being served by some of our Primary 7 pupils.

Fairtrade Fortnight 2022

 Each year in Houston Primary School we come together to raise awareness of Fairtrade. To do this each class has lessons on the importance of Fairtrade and have the opportunity to buy something from the Fairtrade Stall.  We purchase Fairtrade products  from a local supplier and all profits  go to the Fairtrade Charity. We do not have a total yet and will publish this as soon as the stall closes. Thank you to all parents, carers and pupils for supporting this.

This year, in addition to this, pupils were invited to design a badge in support of the Go Zero by 2030 campaign. We aim to reduce our carbon emissions  and help reverse the climate crisis which so badly affects farmers across the world. A winning design from each year group was chosen by the pupil council members and the badges were made and sold at the Fairtrade stall. The photos below show the designers and their badges. Well done everyone!

Fairtrade Mural

 We invited a local artist to come in and help us create a mural all about Fairtrade. Mrs Nicholson came into school and worked with groups of children. I am sure you will agree that the finished mural is amazing.
