We made window cleaner, hand gel and table cleaner from natural ingredince. The recipe for them is really simle. When we made our liquids she put us into groups to try them out. Orla, Shauna and me tried out the window cleaner. We cleaned the staff room window.It was really fun.

She showed us little videos about saving water. There were really funny videos and sad ones too. I had lots of fun with Laura and I really hope she came again because she has lots of fun things to do with us. 🙂 :):)

Today Laura from an Taisce came to our school see how we are getting on saving our water.

First she brought all the water committee into the middle room for a meeting. We were talking about all the ways we save water. we save water in all different ways like we have water saving flushers and taps and a water butt for collecting rain water.

Then after lunch she came into are classroom and explained how important it is to save water and keep the environment clean. Then she showed us a video about some birds who ate plastic and when they died and rotted away you could see all the plastic inside it. It was very interesting.

After that we made some all propose spray cleaner and some window cleaner using natural ingredients. We made the spray cleaner out of washing up liquid, baking soda and some water.

I had a good day with Laura.

We had a competition for the best rap about conserving water. Everyone composed fabulous raps.
Here are some of the best of them:

Save Water
Saving water is what we do best
Because we all live in the west,
Putting in the plug
That is good
Because it saves more water
Like we should

Leaking taps and water pipes
Can make a mess and what a splash
So get your tools and get them fast
To save more water and save more cash.
By Sophie

Saving water poem

Saving water can be a lot of fun
Just make sure you don’t let it run

We can save water in many many ways
We don’t like to see things go to waste

When it rains and pours
Use a bucket for
Collecting drips and drops until it all stops

I know we can do it when we put our minds to it
Now let’s get a green flag and make ourselves glad

Water Rap
This is a little rap I say now listen carefully and I will say my rrrraaaapppp
Here is my rap now listen listen listen,
Water is everywhere just look look look,
We use it to drink, cook and wash wash wash,
We use it we use it every day day day
Have a shower not a bath bath bath
Don’t leave taps running cause that’s bad bad bad
Wash the car and feed the plants with rain water water water
Where going to get the green flag
I hope you got our message

WATER RAP

Saving water is cool
So don’t be a fool and save water.

Have a shower not a bath,
Make sure there are no leaks or drips off taps.

So try your best to save water,
And you wont have so big of a bill.
By Eoin

This is a rap I heard years ago
Some people told me that I should know about water, water,
Everywhere we use it, everyday,
Now let me hear you say, Water!
Ah Ah Ah Aaah we love water.
Don’t set it on fire cause thats just weird for us all,
Water!
By Ailish and Lisa

Ya Inver School is the best,
They have great teachers and
Put you to the test,
They have lots of great things,
But the best thing of all,
Is saving water!
Let me talk you through it all:
Step one turn of the taps,
Step two take a shower not a bath,
Step three now thats the craic
Just do it every day and you’ll be grand.

By Rosaleen

Then we checked if the radiaters and taps leaking. They were not leaking. We checked the teachers toilets next. We checked how many litres the toilets used. They used nine litres. I think it sounds loads but Laura said it was good.

Then we calculated how much we used in the toilets. We calculated them. I can’t remember what we got but she said it was good.

I had lots of fun with Laura. I can’t wait till she comes again.

The End
