Hi Daisie and Miss McCaskie here, today we are going to talk about Mr McCaskie/ Miss McCaskie’s Dad. Mr McCaskie came into P3-5 to talk about electricity and being an electrician. He showed us a pen that senses power and we tested it on our arms to show static energy. He showed us some paper building plans. These were interesting because most of us have not seen them before. They had danger warning signs, house outline and the symbol for lights that we knew already (a circle with a cross in it). He set up a laser for checking if things are straight like the lights in our classroom. He showed us his electrician license, it was gold and told us his qualifications. He then showed us the socket tester that you put in plugs to check if the power is on. This is important for an electrician because he can’t work on it if the electricity is flowing. Mr McCaskie answers lots of our questions such as “How long have you done your job?” and “Does it make you feel sad when your work is covered in buildings?”. He finished by telling us all about the dangers of electricity. His visit has helped us see how electricians use electricity everyday.
Thanks Mr McCaskie from all of us in P3-5. We were very excited about the information you told us and your tools.
