On Wednesday P5 had a very special visitor. Ruth from RES came to speak to us about wind farms and renewable energy.
We found out how long it can take to build a wind farm. It can take roughly 10 years to plan and build a wind farm. We found out what types of land you need to build a wind turbine. You need permission from the land owners to build and there could be constraints that stop you building.
In groups we tried to plan for our own wind farm. It was hard to do because there were so many constraints on the land. We had to keep away from rivers and pipes in the ground.
We got to make our own mini turbines and take them home! This was an amazing start to our day! We are very grateful that Ruth came in to tell us more about wind farms.
