Going Green

This week in year 3, is Going Green week. We are looking at how we can reduce the amount of water that we use in our daily lives. To kick start the topic we did a teamwork activity that made us think of water as a precious commodity. We were split into groups, and had to get water from one end of the yard to the other using sections of drain pipes. The winning group had the most amount of water at the end of the course. Year 6 were on hand measure the water, and to check that all the rules were met. The children worked brilliantly in their groups, showed superb teamwork and started to think of water as a resource.
