International Co-operation Project – the partner school visits JRCS

On Thursday 19^th September a group of students and teachers from our partner school in Poland – Gimnazjum no 4 in StargardSzczeciński– visited our school. Together with The Smarties Science Club members our guests took part in a number of activities.

As we were working on the project called Alternative sources of energy – the future of our planet, the students took part in a workshop where they built different toys that operated using a solar panel:

 

Team work was the key to success:

After the tour of the school, Mr Tizzard showcased the beauty of Science by wowing our guests with a series of experiments:

On Friday, we visited The Crystal in Canning Town, East London. Built by Siemens, it is one of the most self-efficient buildings in the world. Inside you can learn about the latest trends and challenges but also existing technological solutions to build environmentally sustainable cities.
