As part of their Weather Watchers topic, Primary Three discovered the power of WIND!! In Art they made their own windmills which proved a little bit tricky but looked fantastic by the end!! They then went outside to test them out. The children discovered that the wind made the windmills rotate all by themselves. They had a lovely time investigating how to make their windmills turn faster and slower and were delighted to find that the faster they ran the quicker the windmill turned. They then thought about the big windmills on our hillsides and learned how the energy from the wind helps these windmills to create electricity for us to use in our homes and schools.
