Second grade students recently did an inquiry project about water. They want to teach you a few things about conserving water so that everyone has clean water available. These are their suggestions of what we all should be doing.
Remember that the water drop here affects others in other parts of the world so help keep local water clean so others around the world has clean water. We want to all be able to have fun and enjoy water activities like canoeing, swimming, fishing so keep our water clean and conserve it because it is LIFE FOR ALL LIVING THINGS!
Girls in Africa carry water a long way for school and home. This is a dam area where they can get some water. They must carry heavy containers and walk long distances at times. Mrs Kinjanui remembers doing this while she was in Kenya. She teaches kindergarten here at Rocky River.
This week as we began our water unit we’ve had many friends share how water is used in different parts of the world. Francis and Rose Muncaster shared information and photographs with us. Venkat who runs the school day to day in India helped with the information on the previous post and comment. These pictures are from projects done in Tamil Nadu, South India through Friends of Mettupalayam.
We want to thank them for sharing their pictures so that we could learn more. All pictures belong to IRDT (Friends of Mettupalayam Trust) http://www.irdt.co.uk/ Pictures may not be used for other purposes.
This is the water filter that has been bought for the schoolchildren so that they can always have clean water to drink.
Indian people eat a lot of rice. In order to grow rice the fields have to be very wet. If the monsoon rain does not arrive the rice cannot be grown.
The taps in the school. the children use these to wash their hands before meals and also for drinking water which is put into a water filter before drinking. Children use pond as swimming pool.
As we begin our new unit of study in 2nd grade we’d like your help. If possible can you answer a few questions so that we can compare water usage around the world.
Why is water important around the world and what can I do to help ensure everyone has clean water? How can I make a difference?
