Auchterellon Primary School
1st December - 4th December
Dear Auchterellon
Well it was a week wasn't it? Once again it was really nice to welcome a new set of environmental stewards to the Centre. The weather was a bit mixed wasn't it. Some days it was so cold and the next was warm. It is Winter isn't it? Anyway enough of my squawking lets go and have a look at some of the things we did this week.
Best wishes
Beecy
Here are some more electricity and water presentations... as well as some photos from the week.
| Electricity Turn lights off We are using 163KWH So stop using so much electricity! Turn the lights off when you leave a room Turn off the the T.V. and turn off the p.c. Don't waste a lot of electricity It costs a lot of money Which is not very funny. Electricity is not cheap The bills can make you weep As the fee is very deep so... SWITCH IT OFF! |
Freya's
in the dark... not because she is trying to save electricity but because
it began to get dark at the end of the tree study. |

Here we are
trying to save water by having a shower outside. |
Daily
use of water by The Drips If you kept the tap dripping, beware, you're wasting approximately 12000 litres a year. We are lucky. We just have to turn the tap on to get water. Some people have to walk miles to get even a litre of water. Yesterday we used 5627 litres of water in half a day. Imagine how many miles we would have had to walk to get that much. We made a graph to show how much we had used. We decided that, to cut down the amount of water used we could JUST SIMPLY TURN THE TAP OFF! |

| Here's
an electricity rap. Yesterday and this morning we used 180KWH of electricity Turn it off.. Turn it off.. Turn it off! We use a lot of electricity every day Turn it off.. Turn it off.. Turn it off! So let's try to use it in a better way Turn it off.. Turn it off.. Turn it off! So remember to turn it off when you're FINISHED! |
Here's
Katie leaving the shower to get dried... wait a minute though, she's
just had a shower with all her clothes on. Well at least they'll
be clean! |

| Here's
a piece of writing inspired by the Scavenger Hunt. My Favourite Thing My Favourite thing in Nature is... an oak leaf... because it is a coppery brown and green with a wavy shape and it smells like autumn woods a Douglas Fir... because of the lemon, grapefruit, pineapple, fruit salad smell a baby pine cone... because I think it is tiny, sweet and precious a lichen... because it looks and feels like a tangled jumble of threads a rough leaf... because it feels like beard or an elephant's skin or a cat's tongue a piece of bone... because I can imagine my own story about what happened to the animal, like a window on a time machine a rabbit poo... because it feels squishy and I like bunny rabbits and it reminds me of their fluffy tails and ears a pheasant feather... because it's soft and light and it has a beautiful pattern on top. It looks like an eye. This poem was written by John, Lauren, Joanne, Jodie, David, Peter, Ross, Lucy, Laura, Aimee and Siobhan |

| Here are some of the girls busy with their tree study... and no, it's not dark... it's just the flash has gone off on the digital camera and made the background very black. | ||
