Why is it not a good idea to waste water, even in a place with lots of rain like Northern Ireland?
Think of as many ways as possible that you can reduce the amount of water you use in your home and in your school. Decide which ideas you think are most likely to work and create a poster to tell other children how they can save water. Ask your teacher or principal if there are any water saving policies in your school at the minute. If not, develop a proposal, using your research from the Internet, for a new school water policy.
