| Water Water Everywhere? |
| On Friday 18th January, 10 students from years 7, 8 and 9 at Y Pant traveled to the Corus Steel works in Port Talbot to take part in this years' Learning Circles project. The theme of the day, and of the project was "Water Water Everywhere?". They met with students from 4 other schools in their Learning Circle: Ysgol Llangafwg, Ysgol Plasmawr, Ysgol Clwydog and Porthcawl Comprehensive and took part in some tough team tasks which stretched them to the limit. The team from Y Pant excelled themselves, winning 2 out of 3 tasks! |
 |
| For the next 8 weeks the team prepared a project on the subject of "Lack of Clean Drinking Water" as well as contributing to research for topics being studied by the other schools in their Learning Circle. The team were given access to a Moodle forum to discuss and share resources as well as an International Youth Forum where they hope to be able to talk to other young people who may have first hand experience of the issues involved. |
The participants (l to r):
Michael Gilheaney (9), Amy Jones (9), Molly Utting (7), Matthew Knight (9), Matthew Ingram (8), Martha Reed (8), Rhys Morgan (9), Helen Needs (8), Harry Flint (7) and Paul Karamura (7). |
| The team chose to present their final project in the form of a website. From there they have provided links to podcasts, videos, presentations and leaflets helping us all to learn about how a lack of access to clean water is a real death sentence to many millions. Everything on the website was created by members of the team and was uploaded to the iEarn website and shared with people around the world. |

| The Learning Circles project is supported by iEarn (the International and Educational Resource Network) and the Water, Water Everywhere? learning circle has been sponsored by Dysg and WSSA. The students have been supported by Mrs Helen Jones and Miss Lucy Bunce. |
