Go Green!

We have been finding out more about looking after our planet this week.  We started off our Eco days with a whole school assembly.  We looked fab all dressed in Green.

In Year 1 our topic was water. We learnt a little about the water cycle and where our water comes from. It has been raining such a lot recently that we decided to find out just how much. We made rain gauges using junk materials. We are going to record how much rain falls in Pontyclun every day.
