Energy blackout at Länsimetsä school


We have got a lot of snow this winter. Sometimes snow is on the brances of trees. Snow is quite heavy, specially when it is wet. Brances bend. Usually it is not serious but sometimes it can even cause electricity blackouts. When trees are too near to electric cable, the brances can press the cabels and cause electricity blackouts.
On the 21st of January we had one blackout in our school. It last only some minutes but anyway we had an interesting discussion what does it mean if we would not get electricity at school for a long time. We were playing acustic guitarrs, so everything was ok. We just rose window blinds up. In computer class pupils were in Internet. It was good that they were not for example writing with Word. They would have lost their text. Pupils in handicraft lessons might have difficulties. We were most worried about food. We get free lunch everyday and many pupils were already hungry. We thought that in worst case we could have eaten only bread. We were lucky. The blackout took only some minutes.
Other 5th class was skiing during that lesson and used their own energy to ski and didn´t know anything about electric blackout.
