Water Week

Did you know that the average person uses a massive 145 litres of water per day! That was one of the really interesting things we learnt during Water Week in Scoil Carmel. The Green School Committee made Walter the Water Man out of plastic bottles so we could see what 145 litres looks like. It’s a lot! So we are making sure that we conserve water in our school everyday. We also llearnt lots of really intersting facts about water through expiriments including where it comes from, what we use it for and how to conserve it. Have a look at some of the cool expirements!

It’s Water Week!

It’s Water Week! This week the children will be conducting water experiments and will be learning how to conserve water. The Green School Committee are busy making a person from water bottles to reflect the volume of water an average person uses per day – it’s 145 litres! Excessive use of water like this is certainly a topical issue at the moment with the prospect of water meters. We hope your children will bring home helpful and practical tips during the week to help you conserve as much water as we are in Scoil Carmel!
