We had a visit from Jonathan Porterfield to show us his electric car so we could compare it to a fuel vehicle. There are quite a few differences! Can you remember any? This is the charger he uses to plug into mains electricity. In Orkney most of our electricity is made by wind turbines, which makes it very friendly to the environment. We always have plenty of wind - it is renewable! He lifted the bonnet to show us the engine and where he plugs the charger into. What is missing from the back of an electric car? That's right - there is no exhaust so no fumes and pollutants to spoil our fresh air. When he switched on the car we couldn't hear anything!
In term 2 we completed a book study of 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson . We got to know the s tory and the characters through lots of fun activities. This was the Tuff Spot area where we could make potions. This was the craft area where we could make witch pictures using different shapes. This was the playdough area where we made witch faces and finger nail pies. This was the story creating area where we used the stick puppets and settings to tell our own stories. This was the writing area where we wrote our own potions.
