Welcome to our blog!

Komodo Dragon Base pulled South Africa out of our World Cup draw - which means we have taken on South Africa as our learning journey this half term.

Not only will we be focusing on the World cup and tracking South Africa's progress, but we will also be learning through International Arts week, Nelson Mandela and why people in different countries were and are treated differently.

Keep you eyes peeled on our blog as lots of exciting things will be happening!

Fair Trade Afternoon (Monday)

On Monday afternoon year 6 turned into cocoa farmers,chocolate factories,supermarkets,journalists and shoppers.

We had independent farmers who didn't earn much money.We had fair trade farmers who earned a bit more money. A fair trade chocolate factory who got very popular. We had a big chocolate factory who ended up not being very popular.The supermarket earned a fare amount of the money.The shoppers requested fair trade chocolate.

Our goal was to earn the most money in an hour, which to us was a very short period of time.The hour was split into 4 sets of 15 minutes.There was certain rules we had to follow,one was that we were only allowed to buy from certain people.The super market made a profit of 2 pounds, the cocoa farmers made 10 pounds and the big chocolate group made 12 pounds! We thought it was very fun and all of us would love to experience it again, although we know that people actualkly have to go through this.

It mst be horrible for people in real life.

It was a fun and enjoyable task.
