This week Room 5 enjoyed their trip to Whitelee Windfarm.  It was the first time the school had ever gone here for a trip and it didn’t disappoint!  The children have been learning about Sustainability in class, how they can reduce their carbon footprint and different forms of energy that can be used to create electricity.  During the trip the children took part in a workshop, where they were able to carry out investigations to see how solar, wind and hydro power can be effective in creating electricity.  We then went on a little tour of the wind farm and got to see a turbine up close.  Did you know that they are taller than the length of 11 buses together! 300 feet!  The children were amazed are the amount of them scattered around and also how huge they were.

In other news our sound this week was a_e which we found quite tricky.  We are continuing to learn how to tell the time.  We also have something up our sleeves for Mothers Day next week 🙂

Congratulations to Sophia who took home our class Mascot, Nelly, and also to Lily who deservedly won our Star Reader certificate!
