Sustainable Energy projects
We submitted two projects. The first was about saving water by not washing clothes too much. The second was about saving water (and power) by not boiling the kettle too often. We made a video in school about each project. Lesina and Adrian also created a clever animation each for the projects.

Green School history
We applied for our second Green School flag last year - this time for energy awareness. We've run successful poster and slogan competitions, and kept careful track of energy usage in the school with suggestions for how to cut down. Everyone has joined in and our highlight was a NO / LOW ENERGY DAY on 21 March.
Teachers were asked to switch off electrical items and go back to basics for a day - no computers, whiteboards, lights or photocopying! Instead we had oral lessons, drawing and writing, physical activities and learning games! A pedal-powered generator was demonstrated in school - to the great delight of pupils and teachers - and there was a Bring & Take Sale (a Toy and Game Swap) to show how some people's unwanted stuff can be welcomed by someone else. This was an exchange system - no money involved. Everyone wore at least one item of green on the day to demonstrate their commitment.
