This morning we have had a really interesting trip to the wind turbine at Green Park. Mr Gough told us lots of facts about the turbine and we even got the chance to get close to the turbine. This has helped our understanding of creating clean energy.

This morning we had two PhD students from @UniRdg_Met to talk to us about weather. We learned lots about how the weather is studied and measured. This led to us asking lots and lots of questions!
