This week, the whole school visited our local football stadium, Forest Green Rovers.
Ian showed us around and we saw lots of new things and learnt lots of new words, particularly the word SUSTAINABILITY. Try to remember that one children!
Mrs Saeed was amazed at how much information that we all remembered when we got back to school.
We learnt that Forest Green Rovers make their own electricity from wind turbines and solar panels.
We remembered that they collect rain water from the roof of the stand and store it in a big tank. Then they use the water to water the grass on the pitch.
We also saw some electric cars and their chargers.
Can anyone remember some of the differences between the electric car and our petrol or diesel cars at home? Answers in the comments box please. 3 raffle tickets for each spot the difference!
We also learnt that all of the food served at the stadium is organic and vegetarian and that they cut the grass on the pitch using a mowbot controlled by a computer.
It’s amazing what they took in..I thought it was a bit too old for them but later that evening both Alfie and Ryan were talking about oil and coal being bad..wind and solar being good…amongst other things!
Alfie says – an electric car doesn’t have an exhaust pipe.
Alisha says electric cars get plugged in to the electricity socket, to charge the battery, unlike petrol cars.
Yes Alfie you are right! Three raffle tickets for you.
Well remembered Alisha. Three raffle tickets for you.
George says electric cars don’t have any exhaust pipes and they have a big battery under them for charging up.
Jack says if you have an electric car you can charge it for free at Forest Green Rovers
Well done George and Jack. You are both right!
