Our scientists had an exciting day!

Mr. Roberts and Miss Greensmith planned a fantastic STEM challenge, and today Mr. Roberts’ class had a blast building their very own wind turbines. ![????](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tc3/1/16/1f4a8.png)![⚡](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t5d/1/16/26a1.png)
