Renewable Energy

 

A transition to green energy is about making an investment in our future.

-Gloria Reuben

This week, our Grade 5/6 class embarked on an exciting new unit under How the World Works, focusing on energy—a perfect lead-in to our upcoming STEM Week!

The students began by researching renewable sources of energy, diving into how wind, solar, hydro, and other clean energies help power the world sustainably. They then used their findings to create colorful, informative posters that showcased their understanding.

Building on this foundation, the class started brainstorming for their STEM Week projects. Each student is challenged to envision a sustainable city and solve a real-world problem related to energy and sustainability. They are designing innovative ideas and prototypes that demonstrate how renewable energy can be used in smart, sustainable ways.

We also had special visitors this week: a sailing family currently docked in Japan. They shared their incredible journey from Australia to here, describing life on their boat and their travels around the world. The children were fascinated and eager to ask questions, making it a memorable and engaging experience for everyone.

Next week, during STEM Week, the students will proudly present their projects—sharing their research, creative solutions, and prototypes with the community. We can’t wait to see their bright ideas come to life.

We look forward to sharing with you what our inspiring young innovators have come up with. 

Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.

Your homeroom teacher, 
Ms. Pam
