Y4 Trip to Solar Farm

Children in year 4 spent the day learning about solar energy in a workshop and the impact of building a solar farm in a nearby area.   The workshop allowed the children to explore the use of solar cells and where the best site on school would be to place them. In the afternoon, they headed to a farm near Hessay where a solar farm is going to be built. A large focus of the project is looking after nature and the wildlife. We explored the undergrowth and looked for the animals which call it home!  Many thanks to the Earth Energy Education team for coming to school and teaching us about solar power and welcoming us to their site to see where their development will take place.
