National Water Week makes a splash right across Australia in the third week of October each year. It inspires individuals, communities and organisations to work together to build community awareness and understanding around water related topics and challenges. National Water Week provides an opportunity to remind ourselves and teach others that access to clean water is hugely important to every aspect of our lives, and we must do our utmost to protect our water environments and resources, use water wisely and respect its importance in our societies.
Students identify leaking taps at school, suggest actions to stop leaks and handwrite a narrative about a leaking tap.
Ask students to think of all the different ways they use water and explain why it’s such a precious resource. They can then draw up their perspective and all illustrations are made into a collage and displayed in the classroom.
There are plenty of tools and ideas to help your students get involved in National Water Week. Click below to access them.
