Wind power is a for
m of renewable energy. 24% of Scotland’s renewable energy comes from wind power. It is created when wind spins the turbine that in turn spins a shaft which leads into the generator where a magnet is turned around a coil of wire which creates energy. That is how you make energy from wind.
Scottish Country Dancing
For the the last few weeks P6/7 at Port Ellen Primary School have been doing Scottish Country Dancing. They have been learning lots of dances for a big dance up at Bowmore. At Bowmore they will be meeting lots of people from other schools and they will dance with them at the big dance off. They will be dancing the Bampkin, CircleWaltz, Flying Scotsman, Canadian Barn Dance, Strip The Willow,Virgina Reel, Gay Gordon, Saint Bernands Waltz and Miss Macloud. Dancing is fun.
