Every Drop Counts: Exploring Water in Global Studies

In Term 2, our new Global Studies topic is all about water! Our central idea explores how water is a limited and precious resource. We began by thinking about how we use water in our everyday lives, at home and at school. Then we explored how countries use water for homes, industry and agriculture, and considered how much water we use. We also discovered what happens to wastewater, how it is treated and cleaned, and how the water cycle brings water to us.
