I really liked the concept of this kit and thought that the posters and activities were cool, but as it wasn't all reusable I had 3/4 of my class (work in a ILE) miss out as the resources were damaged.

What was the impact of the daily stamping practice in your classroom and which water benchmark did your students find most fascinating? Learners were eager to have their stamp added to show the total water saved by our class. Learners would call each other out, if the didn't quite meet the challenge set..
How have your students' perceptions of water conservation changed since using the resource and did it foster a sense of responsibility and awareness in your classroom? Yes, I often heard them reminding each other about turning the tap off. Or "stop wasting it" when someone else was using the drinking fountain outside our class.

As we embarked on our learning journey, we quickly realised we had a lot we could do to help save water. Especially by just taking shorter showers! Another aspect we strived to do better in was turning off the tap while washing our hands, some of us found this very tricky. We were happy with our school dining hall, which encouraged us to scrap excess food into bins for the pigs!

The students loved the activities and content. They were all trying to save water using the steps and tracking sheets included. Children were eager to come in, in the mornings to stamp the charts and compare which water saving method was 'winning'. Most important in was a fun and engaging way to teach learners about water, why we need it and why it's important to save it.

This kit fitted well with our unit called Impact. This looks at a range of ways that students can have an impact on producers as consumers of goods and services.

What was the impact of the daily stamping practice in your classroom and which water benchmark did your students find most fascinating? We used a felt instead of the stamp as there was quite a queue lining up each morning. They particularly enjoyed the water saving activities that they had a direct impact on, as opposed to the dishwasher one and many parents were the ones who did this.

I think it was a great unit. The boys were very interested in it as it was very relavent. They loved being abotu to come to school and fill in the water saving charts every morning. I loved the wide variety of resources and links that were provided.

Great links to maths, statistics, graphing etc. Students enjoyed learning how to save water and annoying their parents. Farm kids on tank water already understood the concept of conservation. Debates on the taste of town water.
