The 5th & 6th Class members of the Green School Committee were out and about spreading their knowledge on Energy. The Energy Experts had spent a few days learning all about energy, what we need energy for, where this energy comes from and what the future holds.
Having gained all their knowledge the 5th and 6th class pupils created a survey for children from 1st class to 4th class to see how much they knew about energy.
They then created a power-point about energy that they would present to the other classes in the school to make them more energy aware.
The classes were informed about non-renewable energy sources of coal, oil and gas. The burning of these fossil fuels can have negative effects on our environment causing climate change. These non-renewable energy sources are also running out.
We can help our environment by using less energy and also using alternative sources of renewable energy. The presentation provided the children with information on renewable energy sources.
After the presentations the pupils then took the energy survey for a second time and it was very evident that they had gained lots of new knowledge and were now more energy aware.
The Green School Committee came up with lots of ways in which we can save energy and use less energy within our school environment.
They have begun “The Switch It Off” campaign. They have created LOLO (Last Out Lights OFF) signs and TAYTO (Turn All Your Things Off) signs to remind us all to use less energy.
Well done to 5th & 6th classes and The Green School Committee for all their hard work to date.
