Fair Trade
Teaching Resources Resources about
Fairtrade have been created by AST Jean Kiekopf, for use in KS3 and KS4 English lessons. We have
also made resources for KS3 ICT. They have been designed to raise the

ICT
Resources for Water Water is an
excellent theme to introduce a global dimension into the curriculum. I
have created a page of resources which would be particularly useful in
ICT. These include an introduction to modelling using statistics about
household water use and an online survey. Remember, World Water Day is 22nd
March. To view the
resources click here |
