As part of our forthcoming work on Africa, we will be soon linking with the country of Ghana.
Very soon children will be exchanging information about what life is like in the two countries.
As part of this, the school is now linked to the Pa Pa Paa website.
This site, which is partly ran by Comic Relief, sends out webcasts from a school in the Ashanti region of Ghana. Children from the Great Fammis School talk about their life in the village. As part of the link up, we are able to e-mail questions which will be answered in the webcast.
The school was built using money from Fairtrade. Fairtrade believes that farming families should get a fair amount of money for what they produce. Cocoa beans for chocolate is the major produce of the area. Lots of the families of the children at the school are tomato farmers.
Year 3 & 4 are focussing on Fairtrade but we will be looking for questions to ask the school from everyone !!
Pa Pa Paa :
Can you use the site to find out what Pa Pa Paa means in the Ghanaian language of Twi?

I really like learning about Ghana and Fairtrade.
