As part of our science unit on electricity, Year 6 had an exciting opportunity to learn more about renewable energy with the support of the Earth Energy Education (EEE) Team.
On Tuesday 23rd September, the EEE Team visited our school to lead a hands-on workshop all about solar power. Pupils explored how solar panels generate electricity and even experimented with solar batteries, bringing their classroom learning to life.
Later in the week, on Thursday 25th September, Year 6 travelled to Langar Lane Solar Farm to see renewable energy in action. The guided tour provided a fascinating insight into how solar energy is harnessed on a large scale to help power our world in a cleaner, more sustainable way.
As well as discovering the technology behind solar panels, pupils also explored the wildlife that thrives around the solar farm, gaining an appreciation for how renewable energy can work hand-in-hand with nature.
It was an inspiring experience that not only deepened pupils’ scientific understanding but also highlighted the importance of sustainable solutions for the future.
