Morning to all
I have no doubt you are all looking forward to the midterm break and getting away from the laptop/screen for a while.
Our Couch to 5K Virtual Event will start from today and is open until Sunday Week, 21st February. We are asking for as many people as possible to partake in the event. It does not matter if you walk it, run it, or do a mixture of both. We are aiming to get as many members of the school community to participate as possible.
When completing your 5K, please be mindful of the current restrictions and please be careful where you run/walk. Wear high vis clothes and try completing the event in the safest location possible for you.
When you have completed your 5K, please send evidence of it to Mr Murphy to be entered in a draw to win a voucher for Elverys. You can email me or send me a message on Teams. Take a screenshot if recording on a phone, or a photograph of your watch etc. When sending evidence of the 5k, please include your full name and year group.
This event is also open to parents and anyone with a connection to the school. Please email evidence of the 5K to seanmurphy@blackwatercs.com with your name and connection to the school.
It will be interesting to see which year group has the most participants by Sunday week!
The most important thing is to participate and compete against yourself.
I will update you all on numbers completing the event, the number of students from each year, the number of staff, parents etc. using the school App, Website and Facebook. Individuals or their times will not be named.
Best of luck to you all and stay safe.

While we are now working and schooling from home here are some energy savings tips and recycling project ideas to carry out over midterm.
How to save energy/reduce your electricity bill?
1 - Turn down your thermostat. If you turn the thermostat down by just one degree, you can reduce your heating bill by 10%. Thermostat for your living/working area should be set at 18-20°C, while hallways and bedrooms, ideally between 15-18°C.
2 - Plug out all appliances when not in use. Pay particular attention to computers and printers. Standby mode devices from TVs to toasters are using 20% of the energy they would consume if they were switched on.
3 - Don’t fill the kettle. If you’re stopping work for a coffee break, only boil the kettle with as much water as you need. It’ll boil quicker and use less energy.
4 - Don’t heat empty rooms. Turn your heating off 30 minutes before you finish work.
5 - Use radiator reflectors. If you put a reflector behind the radiator, it will reflect the radiator’s heat back into your workspace instead of letting it seep out through the wall.
6 - Switch to LED lights and make the most of natural light. They use about a fifth of the energy of halogen bulbs. LEDs last up to 10 times longer.
