Wind Turbine Engineers

On Friday Mrs Jamil spent the day with us in school. She gave us a presentation on renewable energies as well as talking about how engineers all over the world work to make a difference to our lives. She talked too about how important Science and Maths are and how we should all work hard in these subjects in school.

After the presentation she came round each class and we got a chance to learn about designing, building and testing a wind turbine.  We had a marvellous day and really appreciate Mrs Jamil spending her day with us, encouraging us to investigate, design and create just like real engineers.

Here are some pictures of us, future engineers in the making.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meteorites, Asteroids and Comets

Jack and Carys from 7.27 gave us a marvellous presentation on meteorites, comets and asteroids. They shared so much information and we learned so much about meteorites that have landed in a variety of places across the world. They explained why some are smooth and some aren’t and also what they are made of. We loved learning from our amazing primary sevens.

The main thing we learned was that:

  • asteroids are rocks floating in space
  • meteorites are asteroids that enter into our atmosphere
  • comets are ice and dust that melt as they pass through space

Thank you again Jack and Carys!
