Monks Risborough CE Primary School
Eco Council
At Monks we are working together to improve our climate little by little. We have an eco council made up of children from across all year groups. We have received the Green Flag Award.
Dear parents and children,
For this week's challenge we are looking at the energy-guzzling potential of a kettle!
Please follow the link to this week's challenge o the YCW site!

An average kettle uses as much energy in the 3 minutes or so it takes to boil a litre of water as an energy-efficient LED light bulb uses in ten hours!

Please help us build our story this week by sharing your thoughts via our questionnaires.
Many thanks for your support, and remember, 'Little by little, a little becomes a lot!'

It's time for the annual Climate Coalition #showthelove campaign.
'89% of people want climate action ... and what does it look like ... it looks like us'.
Inspire your children to #actnowchangeforever ... alongside thousands of others this week - here's a link to the 1minute Showthelove video.
