Today we had a eco group meeting to start working on our action plan. Our plan today was to save water because one of our rights(24) is the right to clean water. Water uses a lot of energy to be made safe to drink so we should not waste it. I learned that hoses use lots of water so when washing a car we should use a bucket of water and a sponge. We learned to reuse the water in our school water bottles rather than throwing it away.

Next time we will be planting fruit and vegetables so we can grow them in school instead of buying them. Here are some potatoes we grew in our garden this year and we had them for lunch!

On Thursday 29th August we went to Islay High School for a STEM day. There was workshops about different stuff. The opening speech was a lady from a stem company encouraging STEM for young people. The next speech was a worker from the SSE that was talking about the SSE. Then there was an SSE graduate that moved from the Philippines talk about his time in the SSE. The first workshop we went to was a coding workshop. The little bright lights on the bots were glistening like a stars in the middle of space. The main thing about this workshop: Coding spheros. We got to make spheros weave in and out of cones and do challenges with it. The next station was outside in a polytunnel. It was about bees and other animals. We got to make paper Mache balls. During lunch we asked to get raffle tickets. and the final workshop was about birds. We went to see birds outside with binoculars. We didn’t see much birds. nor variety. But we had a great time!
