Guzzler's big book on energy!

Hi this is Seán and Niamh from ms Chawkes 6th class. We were chosen to read Guzzler's big book on energy to Ms Horgan's and Mr McDonald's 2nd classes. The book was about a little girl called Aoife who's friend Guzzler, a little green monster has a habit of wasting energy. Aoife along with her friends and family try to teach him to save energy.
The children were very enthusiastic about the story, sharing their ideas on saving energy. For example: filling the washing machine, walking to school, turning off lights, having showers instead of baths to save water, carpooling, recycling and much more. We found that the children had alot more knowledge on saving energy than we expected.
Ms Horgans class are designing posters inspired by the book and saving energy.
We really enjoyed the teaching experience.
