EYFS, KS1 and Year 3 had a special assembly from ‘Essex and
Suffolk Living Water’. It was a very
engaging, interactive and fun assembly with a very important message about how
to save water. The Super Heroes acted
out a variety of scenarios using songs, rhymes, dancing and music to show us how
to USE WATER WISELY.
The children were taught how to use water wisely in the
garden, the kitchen, and the bathroom.
Super Heroes talking about how much water we can save in the kitchen.
There were also factual clips used to show the children where water actually came from and scientific vocabulary, such as clarification and evaporation, were used to explain where water came from and how it was cleaned for our domestic use.
Top tips included:-
Turn off the water when cleaning your teeth
Spend less time in the shower
Use an aerator inside the tap
Use a ‘save and flush’ bag in the cistern of the toilet
Use containers of water rather than free flowing water such as a bowl in the kitchen sink to wash up or a bucket when cleaning the car and not a hose.

At the end of the assembly, a short question and answer workshop was held to recap the children’s new learning and for them to learn about how much water we can actually save by being ‘Water Wise’. Every drop counts and it is important to work together to spread the message about what we can do to save water.
