Eco Council Water Assembly

Yesterday morning the Eco-Council gave their first assembly on the topic of saving water. Each of the council read out some facts about water, explaining how the water cycle works, and how water is treated. Children were invited to think about their own water use at home and to take part ion a water-cycle colouring competition.

Mr Mansell finished off the assembly by leading the children in singing 'Hair, shoulders, knees and toes' which went like this:

Hair, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Hair, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
And face and neck and under the armpits,
Don't forget the other bits, other bits!

This was repeated, with one or more words omitted each time, to last four minutes - the recommended length of time for a shower.

A big thanks to Mrs Exton for her hard work in preparing the Eco-Council for their assembly, and to all the children who took part for giving up their time for the good of the school.

NO POWER FOR AN HOUR!

From 1.15pm - 2.15pm, the whole school went about its daily routine WITHOUT POWER! Based on a suggestion by the School Eco-Team, everything was switched off.










The computers...










The photocopier...










The interactive white boards...










The lights...









And even Mr Pearce's stereo!

And do you know what happened? Nothing! All the children had a great time singing, orienteering and doing nature studies. It certainly made all of us think.
Many thanks to Mrs Exton and her Eco-Team for putting forward such a great idea.
