We found 35 dripping taps in the school -one in the kitchen was running. We had the faulty ones fixed. Back to topNO DRIPPING TAPS NOWThis time when we checked there were NO dripping taps. Back to topWE VISITED THE TOILETS!!Last November, Mr Simpson came round with us and we visited every toilet in the school - boys and girls!! We were checking to see if they were working and how we could save water in the cisterns. Back to topNEW CISTERNS AND PIPESAfter our audit all the toilets in the primary and the secondary have been given new cisterns and pipes. We have had new toilets installed. These ones are much more efficient and don't use as much water. Back to topTOILET TIP from the WATER group!Did you know that if you put a brick in your cistern it will use less water? Back to topBOTTLED WATER IS EXPENSIVEFor about 4 years the school has bought huge bottles of water for our cooler . We recycled plastic bottles and Liz printed labels with our names. This meant that we can drink water any time we liked. But each bottle of water cost £15 and sometimes in the summer we drank more than a bottle a day! Back to topNEW WATER FOUNTAINToday (8th January) we had a new water fountain installed. It looks like our water cooler but you don't need bottles it uses mains water. It will be much cheaper but we better watch we don't empty Lochinvar (our reservoir) when we get thirsty!! Back to topOUR SLOGAN - DON'T WASTE WONDERFUL WATERMrs Brown asked all the Eco Groups to think up a slogan. Ours is "Don't Waste Wonderful water". All the groups will put their slogans together to make our Eco Code. Back to topECO COMMITTEE - WATERRoss P7, Hayley P5, Angus P7 and Mr Simpson (Head Teacher) Back to top |
