Green Schools Energy Workshop

Next year (2018), St Patrick's NS will be working towards getting their second Green Schools Flag and as one of the steps towards obtaining that second flag, the whole school participated in a workshop run by Gavin Harte on Wednesday the 13th of December on the theme of energy. The workshop was fantastic and consisted of 3 stations where the children learned about different types of energy and generated Watts of energy by riding a stationary bicycle.  They even helped to make smoothies by pedalling a stationary bike to generate more energy and best of all, everyone got to taste the smoothie! We also learned how many watts of energy were used by common household objects and appliances such as electric showers and kettles.
