The After School Fairtrade Fun Fete took place in St Peter’s the 12th June and attracted enthusiastic children (and parents) from the area. They enjoyed the bouncy castle and various traditional games.

St Peter’s was buzzing with activity; children throwing hoops over a Fairtrade pineapple, playing the Fairtrade one arm bandit, , creating friendship bracelets,   drinking refreshments, and more besides!

As usual the bouncy castle was a great success with children happy to let off steam after school!
