What you did

Year 6 eco-councillors have distributed thermometers to each classroom and set 1 in the library and 1 in the main office.

They have created a spreadsheet and are recording temperature readings. A mean for the school has been created and they are comparing the mean of the school with an ideal mean based on the "ideal guidance temperatures" of different areas. Classroom Temperatures.xlsx

This will be done daily. 

Activity description

Investigate whether the school is too warm or too cold. If the school is too warm the heating should be turned down to 18C to save energy.  Report temperature readings on the Pupil Dashboard or download our temperature recording sheet. 

Put up our poster to remind people to keep your school at the right temperature.  Or design your own (we'd love to see it!).
