Our Year 5 pupils enjoyed a visit from the NI Waterbus. The Waterbus is a double decker bus, which has been transformed into a mobile education unit. On the Water Bus today our Year 5 pupils met H20, our Water Wise Super Hero, who introduced children to the Wonderful World of Water.
Pupils learned through presentation and demonstration about a range of water issues such as the water cycle, water for health, water sources, water and wastewater treatment, water conservation and water in the developing world. There was an interactive presentation on the lower deck explains how NI Water collects and cleans water and wastewater and explores how we can all help to look after this vital resource. On the upper deck of the bus there was a small cinema used to show videos and presentations. Year 5 watched as Flo and her friends explained the water cycle and how this amazing cycle never ends. They also discovered simple ways to save water at home and school and compare how we use water here in Northern Ireland with people in the developing world.
It was a great way to introduce the topic to the Year 5 boys and girls. Thank you Waterbus NI.
