Recycle, Retail and Reap the Reward

Posted on May 19th, 2011 by Agent Jacobs

Turners Hill Primary School have decided that their next major environmental project is to be a rainwater harvesting system. We plan to have three large tanks each holding 6500 L of water. The water will be used to flush the toilets within the school. We will also have a large educational display showing how much rainwater we have collected and how much mains water we have saved.

Coleshill Infants’ School Saves Water – Mission Update!

Posted on February 19th, 2010 by Agent Earp

Our children have been learning about how to save water. We had an eco-assembly about water conservation. The children gave their own ideas about how they could save water at school and at home. We are going to make sure all the taps are switched off after use and a campaign was launched to persuade families to ditch bottled water and use tap water in reusable bottles. The children have made posters which are displayed around the school to spread the message about the importance of saving water. We had a collection to send money to a charity to help children in Africa have clean water.

Last Friday, the Year 9′s were …
