Thanks to Mrs Margaret Lane, from Sentinus, who came to St Mary’s last Friday to facilitate prtactical workshops on Renewable Energy for P7 and P6/7. Pupils created minitaure wind turbines, wired a solar circuit to power a propeller and also conducted an experiement on the force of hydro power.
The hands-on activities enhanced pupils’ knowledge of this increasingly important topic, and followed on from work completed in class around the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow.
