It was a fun hands on day with a serious purpose for 9 Year 5 children from St Matthews Primary, Redhill and Furzefield Primary School this week when they had the chance to go to the Warwick Secondary School in Redhill and get to grips with thinking about why we need energy and what the alternatives could be. The day was made possible by funding from Councillor Lynne Hack, who has supported the programme for a number of years, the fantastic Warwick School and SATRO organisers.wind energy devices, solar powered boats and waterwheels that lift weights.
Students from the Warwick worked with the teams who had the chance to make
Judging by the responses from the pupils, the solar-powered boats and the VERY competitive racing of them was the highlight! "The best bit was when my team won the race". The message of the day made an impression too : " I learnt that we can all save our planet, by walking more and using the car".
And if it keeps on raining, those waterwheels and solar powered boats will come in very useful indeed!
