Pupils have explored the 'Wonderful World of Water' during a visit from Severn Trent.

Children attending the Holy Redeemer Catholic Primary School in Pershore went to a 'Super Sewers' special assembly.

It was followed by interactive workshops where the children had a chance to 'repair' a mocked-up burst pipe and learned about water quality science.

Since April last year, the Severn Trent education team has spoken to almost 900 schools and over 150,000 primary and secondary school children across the region to provide an understanding of the water company and its environmental efforts.

They often utilise two special buses in their visits: The Digibus, offering an immersive digital experience of the water industry with animated videos and quizzes; and the Experibus, offering hands-on role-play experiences as a scientist, engineer or call centre operative in the water industry.

Education officer Rob Jansen said: "We were delighted to be invited to talk to pupils at Holy Redeemer who seemed to really enjoy the assembly and workshops – particularly the gross parts.

"Only the three Ps should be pushed down the loo; poo, pee and paper.

“The kids were also given the chance to try their hand at being a real-life Severn Trent workers by fixing a model of a ‘burst pipe’ set up on the playground."

Following the visit the school posted on social media: "Thank you Severn Trent for a fantastic morning of learning.

"It was a great way to learn about our responsibility to the planet."
