The pupils at Luss Primary have recently had their Eco Week. During the week the children took part in many activities which all the pupils thoroughly enjoyed. The activities ranged from finding out about beavers, making dams, taking cuttings from plants, having an eco picnic and going into the local woods. One of the activities they did in the woods was to use materials around them such as moss, leaves, grass, etc. to build a home for a mouse that would keep as much heat in as possible.

They took with them to the wood thermometers, plastic jars and a flask of hot water. After half an hour the children returned to their plastic jars to find out which jar of water had stayed the warmest.

Primary 5-7 finished their week with a visit to the Scottish Hydro Exhibition where they got to find out about different forms of renewable energy. Their homework task was to then build a model of a structure that could produce energy using renewable resources. The children put a great deal of thought and effort into their models and were very proud bringing them to school .They are now looking forward to starting their new topic on renewable energy.
