As a year group we visited Dogger Bank which is North East England’s offshore wind cluster. We learned about how companies such as Equinor are working hard to revolutionise renewable energy with wind farms using the awesome power of the North Sea wind. It was very interesting and aspirational too with lots of children learning about a range of jobs and company benefits in this industry. This trip linked well to our Geography topic ‘Energy’ but also with STEM too.
In geography Year 5 have been studying the Alps. We went to Silksworth Dry Ski Slope to experience an activity that is enjoyed in the Alps.
4CL had a fantastic visit to Sunderland Winter Gardens.
We started off with some drama where we pretended to be parts of the rainforest. We studied the different layers and did a trail around the rainforest area of the museum.
We completed some sketching in the rainforest and then we added colour onto our pictures back in the education room of the museum.
