On 23rd January Kirsty from ALIenergy came to the school to teach us all about different types of energy and the importance of using renewable energy. The children had great fun learning how energy can be produced using water, wind, the sun and even how our movement creates energy. Kirsty told us a story about little penguins and how worried they are about their world getting smaller. We are going to try and remember to use less energy, recycle when we can, shut doors, switch off lights and the tv. Recycling is one of our eco topics.
We also showed Kirsty our can bank that we designed and made as part of our Eco-group activity on recycling. We made sure it had holes at the top and a door at the bottom for emptying!
Hi Achaleven. Loved your photos. We are doing a topic on Renewable Energy at the moment as part of our Sciences. Can you please tell us how you got in touch with Alienergy. We wonder if they would come and talk to us or if it might be a bit too far to come!
We have just returned from a week at an Outdoor Centre in Perthshire and they have 2 working wind turbines in their grounds.
