We put coloured stickers on to the electrical appliances and outlets in the classroom to show whether we are allowed to turn them off or not. Red meant don't turn it off, orange meant that we need to ask permission to see if we can turn it off and green meant that we can turn it off without asking permission.
Activity description
Pupils will identify all IT equipment, appliances and lighting throughout the school and indicate which can be turned off using a traffic light coding system.
