Year 5 were very fortunate to have a visit from engineering company AtkinsRealis to learn about how we can all contribute to a better future by shaping how people are housed, connected, powered, and protected. The workshop focused on infrastructure, energy and innovative ways as to how we can reduce carbon emissions.
The children asked lots of thoughtful questions and participated in designing their own ideas of how to harness renewable energy to reduce the impact of climate change. We even had a great Lego design showing a potential hydro-electric car of the future and designed our own game of ‘Climate Change Snakes and Ladders’, as we challenged our partners in a race to the finish!
Thank you to Tim Smith from AtkinsRealis for the great workshop and for joining us for the afternoon. We all learnt a lot! Well done to all of the children for creating some fantastic ideas and designs for combating climate change. We look forward to hearing who our competition winners are!
