Sustainability Centre Trip - Grade 5 from ACS Egham

21 November 2011

When my parents woke me up in the morning, I stated to protest about them waking me up so early. But when they told em I had a field trip, I shot up like a bullet!  We got to school quickly and even sooner after that we got on the bus.  The bus ride was kind of long but fun for the most part.

Once we got there my head filled up with questions that were soon answered.  We go to do a lot of really cool things like building our own lego car that ran on solar power.  We found out a lot about the people who lived tipisand yurts, too.  But most importantly we found out about how we can sustain energy.  We might thing that it's not that important, but if your think about it again like I did, we can make a really bid difference! Did you know that if everyone turned of their TVs instead of putting hem on stand by we could shut down a whole power plant in England!

The Sustainability Centre makes you realise how you can help, even it it's only a tiny bit.  In conclusion, the Sustainability Centre is a really fun place to go to , but it's really educational as well!  I would like to thank everyone who organised this trip for the 5th graders and we all can't wait to go back!
