Think Green

grrr

Starting with ‘Big Energy Saving Week 2015’, Think Green’ hope to encourage staff, residents and school children to do your bit for a greener East Renfrewshire!

We want to reduce overall energy consumption and carbon emissions across the council.  This is better for the environment and could help us assist with Scotland’s ambitious target for reducing our carbon emissions by 80% by 2050: ‘Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009’.

You could also potentially save energy, reduce your bills and reduce your carbon emissions at home by following our simple tips !

When Granny was a Girl

Primary 2b enjoyed a wonderful end to their topic, ‘When Granny was a Girl,’ due to an informative visit from Mrs Hallan’s ‘granny’.  The children learned lots of interesting things about schools, homes and hobbies in the past. After hearing about toys in the past, the boys and girls decided that they think life in 2014 sounds a little better.

People Who Help Us

Gerry’s dad came in to speak to us about his work at the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. We asked him lots of questions and found out how he helps keep everyone safe. He told us how important it was to keep your home safe from fires. He would encourage everyone to use the Home Fire Safety Visit (HFSV) which is a free service to protect your home and family. Please call your local Fire Station on 0141- 881-2222 to arrange a home visit. Keep safe everyone!
