Visit from Scottish Water

Tracey from Scottish water came to tell us about how precious our water is.  Stewart said, ‘You need to save water by turning the tap off when you are brushing your teeth. Emily said, ‘You don’t put baby wipes down the toilet as it blocks it.’ Tracey told us about fatbergs. Amelia said, ‘They are as big as a double decker bus and block the pipes.’ Mohammad said ‘The average person in Scotland uses 150 litres of water every day and it costs Scottish water £1 a day to supply water to each house.’

Fairtrade Brunch

We watched a movie about where bananas come from. We ate 2 things made from Fairtrade chocolate. Niamh said ‘It was so much fun because we got to dress up in our pyjamas. We got a quiz about Fairtrade.’ Alex is the Fairtrade Rep. He said, ‘The people at the bottom of the supply chain it is getting harder for them because they are getting less money, only 11p per banana.’

Blyth Family Kinexe Plane

The whole Blyth family made this super plane with Kinnexe and made a poster which showed how it was powered by solar power. Daniel said ‘It never runs out of power. It took a few days to make it. I liked making the wings best.’
