Wonderful Windmills!

Year 4 have been all of a whirl today! As part of their "What's it worth, Planet Earth?" topic, they have been learning all about windmills, in particular, wind turbines.

They started the day making their own mini-mills out of plasticine.



Then, they learned all about where electricity comes from, and how we are using up precious fossil fuels in power stations. They discussed renewable sources of energy, and thought about the pros and cons. Below are some examples of writing which explain our own opinions about wind turbines.



Year 4 then made their very own windmills using paper, a straw and a drawing pin. They even braved the cold to test them out!



They finished the day with some collage art - and even these pictures moved!
