Year 4 took their geography learning out into the Year 4 took their geography learning out into the city with a visit to Vital Energi’s Mersey Heat project in Liverpool 🌍

Following last month’s climate education session in school, the children had the chance to see how low-carbon heat is produced and used across the city.

They toured the energy centre, learned about the heat pump, visited the canal to see how water forms part of the system, and headed to the waterfront where underground pipes are being installed to supply heat and hot water to some of Liverpool’s best-known buildings.

To round off the visit, each child was presented with a medal as a Vital Eco Champion, recognising their commitment to looking after the planet.

A brilliant hands-on geography experience for Year 4. Thank you to Vital Energi for such an engaging and informative visit 👏
