FAQs - ECO2 Smart Homes
Your child will have brought home a worksheet. They will need to go around the house and count the number of different electrical devices in the house (i.e. lights, computers, tablets etc.). They will have practised this in their classroom at school.
How can my KS2 or KS3 child complete the homework?
Homework is brought home in two different ways in KS2 and KS3 depending on the school your child goes to. Some will bring home a worksheet each week. This will need to be completed and returned to your child’s school one week after.
Week 1- Climate Change
Week 3: Sustainable Homes- Home Energy Audit
