During this term at Fair Isle Primary School, we have been looking at how important water is. It may be all around us here in the isle but access to clean and safe water is difficult for lots of children around the world. This got us thinking about how we could play our part, especially when realising the sustainable development goal of clean water and sanitation for all, as well as the individual rights of all children.<\/p>\n

So, we decided we would raise some money and “twin” our toilet via the charity “Toilet Twinning” (check them out, they do some brilliant work and you can even twin your own home toilet). The children at the school wanted ours to be twinned with a latrine in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

We designed a “Go Blue for a Loo” day, where we dressed in blue and took part in some activities designed to provoke our thoughts about water, from transporting water across an obstacle course and creating a “water run”. Jonathan even got some folk to dig deeper into their pockets in return for being soaked himself (a luxury not everyone in the world has).<\/p>\n

Our toilet is now proudly twinned and we can think about how fortunate we are, and how others are not, whenever we use water throughout the day in school.<\/p>\n
