This session we are working towards EAC’s Clean Green Award. Our classes and school committees are working hard to make Mauchline PS & ECC and our village a climate friendly environment and there will be many activities and initiatives happening across the school throughout the year.

One of these initiatives is EAC’s Power Down initiative. The aim of Power Down is to build a strong community of energy saving champions across East Ayrshire centres, schools, homes and communities.
Mauchline PS & ECC have signed up to join Windy the Wind Turbine’s Workforce. Each month we participate in energy awareness/reducing challenges. When we complete each challenge we can collect 8 wind turbine parts which assemble to make a Windy Turbine and gain a Windy Trophy for our school. We hope Windy can come to visit us at Mauchline too!
Windy has some hints/tips to help us with our challenges. These will be posted here every month…
