Whalsay and Yell\u2019s Pledge Trees were also on display.<\/p>\n<p>Whalsay and Yell pupils were combined and worked in groups for these events.\u00a0 The winning team, who produced most voltage from their model wind turbine, called themselves \u201cYellsa\u201d and managed to produce an impressive 5.3volts.<\/p>\n<p>The pupils all said they had found the day interesting and informative and had really enjoyed the activities, especially working with pupils from another school.\u00a0\u00a0 They would like to thank the Climate Change team and Emma Chittick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday 27 September the S3 class headed to Lerwick to attend Shetland\u2019s Climate Week organised by the Council\u2019s Climate Change Strategy Team.\u00a0 The day began with pupils having the opportunity to\u00a0 visit stalls and chat with various Shetland Companies &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/2022\/09\/28\/s3-at-climate-week\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1488,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,26,27],"tags":[101,21,11,31,6,76,77,62],"class_list":["post-5298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dsyw","category-sciences","category-technologies","tag-creativity","tag-dsyw","tag-numeracy","tag-responsible-citizens","tag-s3","tag-secondary","tag-stem","tag-technologies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1488"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5298"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5303,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5298\/revisions\/5303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/sh\/whalsayschoolweb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
