Sustainable Energy Day

Sustainable Energy Day

27th February marked Sustainable Energy Day. Our Green School Committee did a great job at teaching each class about different kinds of energy. They used flashcards to help every class to learn about renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. We created a display for our Green Schools noticeboard and we all learned about  how to save energy in the home.

Here are some ideas for the whole family to save energy at home:

• Switch off the lights when  you leave a room.
• Turn off the tap when you are not using it. For example, when brushing teeth, or washing hands.
• Put on a jumper and thick socks instead of turning the heating on.
• Close the door behind you when you come inside.
• Switch off the television and any consoles when you’re not using them. Use the ‘shut down’ function on your computers and laptops.
• Turn off or unplug electrical items when finished with them. Some devices use energy even when they aren’t on. For example, the kettle, your phone chargers, lamps and fans.
