The Great Shirley Warren Switch Off

Have you seen the poster outside the school about the Shirley Warren Switch off?

Zaki from the Environment Centre kindly came in and told us about it.

It is happening tomorrow, Friday, from 4-6pm at the Action Centre (church), 117 Warren Crescent,  just near the school.
There will be prizes including torches and a multi cooker.
The event is free to attend so anyone can come along.
There will be inflatables and a slow-cooked meal which is also free.
There will be energy companies there giving advice too, and a parent session from 2-4pm.

At 5.30pm all the prizes will be given and there will be a big switch off with glow sticks.
Nearly 100 people went last year, so please come along and make this year's session even better.

At Shirley Warren Primary and Nursery School we do care about the environment and we hope you will join in too.

Switch Off Fortnight in 2D

Over the last two weeks, we've taken on a challenge given to us by our awesome Green Council. They have asked us to think of ways that we could save energy for Switch Off Fortnight.

We started by making a list of things that we could switch off to save energy. We came up with lights, Christmas lights, water, computers, iPads and our whiteboard. We then had to make sure that as a class we were all trying to keep these things switched off, but also switching them off properly so we didn't damage any equipment! But how?

We decided to have three Switch Off Monitors a day. Our first one was always AC, our Green Council Rep, as he was an expert! Then we chose two more a day, Their job was to spot people switching things off properly and at a sensible time. If they spotted someone, that person got a sticker!

Here are some photos of us being awesome and switching things off properly. Well done 2D!
