SEVERN Trent is gearing up to spread some festive cheer across Worcestershire as its education team pays visits to local schools ahead of the Christmas break.
The water company’s Education Team will be revisiting a number of schools across the region to share some fun festive facts in the last few days of the school term.
With lots of games, songs, and a special Christmas Quiz, the team will be decked out in their most merry attire.
They will also be sharing their ‘naughty and nice’ water and waste tips, including what to bin or flush and how to save water. Each child will also leave with their own festive goodie bag.
Since the start of the year, the Education Team has engaged with 8,373 school pupils in the Worcestershire area.
Maxine Smith, Senior Education Officer at Severn Trent, said: “The Christmas tour is a wonderful way to add some extra excitement in teaching kids about the impact they have on the environment with their water use and how it gets back to us at Severn Trent, while also getting them eager to revel in the holiday season.”
Severn Trent say their team are ‘experts’ in making the sessions interactive, informative and most of all fun, and once the holidays are done, they will be returning to their normal sessions.
Assemblies can cover everything from the water cycle, the history of clean water, what Severn Trent does and how they make the water so clean, how everyone can help use water more wisely and more.
Severn Trent knows winter can be a ‘challenging time for its customers’, that’s why it’s encouraging people, along with their team of winter helpers, to ‘weather the winter together’.
The company has shared lots of tips to help protect people’s homes from things like costly blockages and burst pipes. Visit www.stwater.co.uk/education and www.stwater.co.uk/my-supply/wintertogether for more information.
