On Thursday 12th of September we were joined by Phil from Severn Trent to learn all about water.\u00a0\u00a0
\nWe learnt about the processing cycle of water and how it comes from the rivers and is cleaned in approximately 3 hours, ready to be piped to our homes where we can use it for so many different things. There are enough clean water pipes to go around the world three and a half times!\u00a0
\nSevern Trent supplies 1.8 billion litres<\/b> of fresh, clean drinking water every day! Water is such a precious resource we couldn\u2019t live without so it\u2019s important we all do our bit to look after it. By playing \u2018Higher or Lower\u2019 the children were able to think about the amount of water used for different activities and how we can adapt the things we do so that we don\u2019t use as much water.\u00a0\u00a0
\nPhil was joined by enthusiastic volunteers who dressed up to help present this to the rest of the school.\u00a0\u00a0
\nThere was plenty of giggles, and everyone had a lot of fun.\u00a0
\nTo conclude the assembly we all made a promise to use water wisely in the bathroom by turning off the tap when brushing our teeth, taking shorter showers and only filling the bath up half way. \u00a0
