What do you think it would feel like to drive one of these cars? Where would you go and who would you take with you? 
On wednesday we had a special vistor all the way from uganda. We were all very excited and couldn’t wait. Firstly,we were told all about ‘ ‘Rock Foundation School’ and all the improvments they had made. We were all shocked at the shool compared to ours. I learn’t that kids had to school at 7:00o in the morning and school finishes at 4 , 5 and 6:00. In uganda they have shillings instead of coins. He also said that children ( about the age of 5 and over) had to walk 2 miles to get water and back before going to school. I was shocked when I heard that there was only 3 computers in the whole school. We learnt loads of facts and we had a great day.
During this half term in literacy our topic is ‘ There’s a boy in the girls bathroom.’ We enjoyed reading the chapters in the book. The main character is Bradley Chalker. He has no friend execpt his toy friends. Bradley is rude and he tells LOAD’S of lies. He sits my himself, last seat last row and he is known as a ‘island‘. All the girls think that Bradley is weak and he gets beaten up by a GIRL! Bradley said that girl’s can’t do anything but kick and boys can punch in the end Bradley kicks out and thhe girls punch.
We enjoyed this book.
Today two very special visitors came to see year 5. One of them was a headteacher from uganda called Pasta Deo who tought us about Uganda. We were engrossed in all the information Pasta Deo told us. We were surprised that they had about 50 people in each class room. Tere were lots of students but only a small school building. We saw photos of the school and it is very different to our school. We are lucky to have so much equipment and computers. Pasta Deo said there was about 439 people in that school.Did you know they had canes which are used if children are naughty?
Please add a comment with more information.
Our morning starter today was very interesting. We tried to make as many patterns with the dominoes and see which ones would fall systematically one behind the other. Brilliant activity!
Today we went to the co-oprative,we had a phenomenal time. We went because our topic is ‘its not fair’s it was mind blowing there were lots of fair trade products like kiwi, pineapple, lamb chops, coffee,sugar and even chocoloate ( cocoa powder). We looked at the prices of the products and compared them with items which are not fair trade, fair trade was a little bit more expensive but that is because the extra money goes to the farmers and workers from the 3rd world countries. Here are some pictures we took on our visit.
What information have you found out about Fair Trade and Oxfam?

Fair Trade is when workers from 3rd world and other countries are allowed to sell there products at a rate that they can then afford to look after themselves and there families.
Mrs Devaney was the banker and all of us were workers.
