We have recently visited Dingwall Academy to talk to members of their Eco Committe. They were holding a Fair Trade fayre, where we bought scrummy yummy cakes and recieved free Fair Trade hot drinks and sugar. We talked about what we have been doing for the school and what we are hoping to do. Mr Harris said he would talk at their assembly about people vandilising our school grounds. The afternoon was highly successful (especially the cakes!).
