Today we had a visit from Jessica from Welsh Water. She talked to us about how we get clean water, how to save water and how to be safe near reservoirs this summer.
Did you know if you leave the tap running while brushing your teeth for 2 minutes you will waste 18 litres of water!! We brushed the big teeth and left the tap running to test it out.
The children helped out in assembly and then Jessica did a workshop with the eco reps and Year 6 where we looked at water saving devices such as Hippo bags which are placed in the cistern of a toilet to displace water saving 2.5 – 3.5 litres for every flush! We also learnt about pressing the smaller flush button on the toilet to save some water and using the eco setting on the washing machine which saves water and energy.
A big thanks to Welsh Water for coming out to see us!
Remember, turn off the tap! Water is precious, involves a huge process to get it to our homes and costs £££££!
