Whitelees Wind Farm

6 Comments

P5/6/7 visited the wind farm as part of their investigation of renewable energy.

By considering examples where energy is conserved, I can identify the energy source, how it is transferred and ways of reducing wasted energy.                                                                                               SCN 2-04a

Through exploring non- renewable energy sources, I can describe how they are used in Scotland today and express an informed view on the implications for their future use.                                                                                                                                                                                      SCN 2-04b

Celebrating Science!

Leave a comment

This year our 3 House groups will be named after Scottish Scientists who have made  important contributions to our lives. We have recently held  elections for the three ‘House Captains’ and a member of the teaching staff will have a supervisory role for a particular ‘House group’. Everyone is encouraged to earn  points  and the House Captains add these  to the grand total each week.

House Groups for 2013-2014

Fleming House Captain – Megan McGivern

Balfour House Captain – Ruth Burns

Dewar House Captain – Billie Smith

The children will be involved in many interesting science investigations throughout the year and we will be holding a ‘Science In The Spotlight’ week in October.

Stay tuned for more information.
