Solar Farm visit

Barn Owls were invited to Rexon Solar Farm, near Roadford Reservoir, for a visit this week.
After learning about sustainability in Science last term, this was a good way to add to that learning, and to recall some facts. We found out how a solar farm works, with the whole process from Sun to home being studied. It also gave us a chance to use our place value and multiplication skills to calculate how many solar panels are found on the whole farm.

We also looked at how the solar farm can still be used to farm animals, with sheep living in fields amongst the panels. We had a chance to search for other wild species of insect and plant that also thrive around the farm. It was a little early in the year to find many of these, though.
