2. Year 1: Interdependence and Fair Trade
Key Stage 1 have a unit on economic awareness. During this the children participate in activities where they have to earn money and then work collaboratively as a group to decide how to spend it. This is followed up using the Go Bananas resources from Oxfam and culminated with the children using Fair Trade products to host a Fair Trade Coffee Afternoon for the parents, where leaflets about Fair Trade are displayed and parents have the opportunity to purchase items from the Fair Trade stall.
