Howard Pitman, a Park Ranger from Dean Castle Country Park came to talk to us all about his job and how to identify wildlife in our gardens. He taught us how to use footprint tunnels and night cameras.
Our favourite part of the visit was holding the different skulls and meeting Fiona Fox (who was an example of taxidermy- not real, so don’t worry)!
Today we enjoyed a visit from Derek, Craig and Adam from. Scottish Power Renewables. They told us all about their jobs and shared their knowledge of renewable energy with us. We enjoyed playing the fossil fuel or renewables game. We even got to try on some of the equipment.
Today we had a visit from Carol Kane from Vattenfall who came to talk to us about climate change.
We learned about the impact fossils fuels are having on our climate and what we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. Carol shared what Vattenfall are doing by expanding wind and solar power projects across Europe.
We enjoyed using the VR headset to explore inside a wind turbine and learn how it works.
