Today we made a play dough submarine using a fan, different coloured play dough, a buzzer and a battery pack.
We worked together to shape the play dough and conduct the electricity through to power our submarine. When the batteries are turned on, it powers the fan and buzzer through the play dough. 
Today the blue group have been making dough circuits, here’s how
1. First we made two balls of dough.
2. Next we stuck light in the dough
3.Next we attached the connectors to the dough and turned the battery pack on and the light lit up!
4.Then we added more stuff like fans, buzzers, sirens, switches and lights.
we found out if the dough balls touch it doesn’t work.IMG_0541
Last week during home learning and in school, we increased our knowledge and understanding of static electricity.
We watched a video to learn all about Static Electricity, we know now what static electricity is, we can give examples of static and have found some fun and interesting facts.
Tune in to our next blog post on static electricity snakes !
Today we made a circuit again but we had a break in the circuit so we had to find items to complete the circuit. We used a spoon, a plate, glasses case and more. The plate and a pencil case did not work 🙁 We were given a buzzer at the end and it gave us a headache! Like last time we used copper tape to let the electricity ⚡️ through.

We created a circuit with some copper paper,a battery and a variable.This is how.
1.We got the copper paper and made a little square.
2.We got the battery and put it on the top of the paper.
3.We made a little gap on the right side of the paper.
4.We hade a buzzer,a siren, a fan and a light.
5.We chose the siren and it was VERY loud!
6.We found out that the wooden spoon, the spatula and the tin lid did not work as a variable.
Today the orange group have been finding out what conducts and what doesn’t.
(We only had to follow a diagram)
2. Then we stuck down the wires and the battery.
3. We stuck down the light next to the copper tape.
4. We left a gap in the circuit.
5. Then we turned on the battery.
6. Then we found things to put on the gap to make the light glow up. The wooden spoon, the Duplo and the ruler didn’t conduct electricity but the potato masher, the tin and the metal spoon did conduct electricity.
7. We tried the buzzer, the fan and the beeper. They all worked. 63784056523__903B98E4-C5CB-471C-92B1-33952D1088C7
Great excitement today as the children began to learn to write a blog post in Glow.
Qwerty keyboard skills were in use and the children were trying to use both hands to type to get logged on to the Chromebooks.
It was brilliant to see children buddy up with others to teach them how to blog, fantastic learning together! I am very proud!
The class created a spelling list this afternoon to help them edit the posts they are writing about adding conductors to circuits.
Such a lot of effort, everyone deserved a brain break!
This is my mindmap about electricity i hope you like it this is what I know about electricity
1 we use a lot of it everyday
2 wind can be converted into electricity
3 my dad taught me how to draw a switch
