We have been learning to combine components to make an electrical circuit. We learned what symbols represent each component in a circuit and used these to draw a circuit for a torch. After learning how to draw a circuit, we practised making one. We used wires, batteries, bulbs, buzzers, motors and switches. We enjoyed working in groups to combine our circuits and make even bigger ones. It is important to remember that if there is a break in the circuit, it will not carry the electricity through. 🔋⚡️💡🔌

Our science topic this term is Electricity. Today we discussed the dangers of using electricity and ways in which we can stay safe when using it at home or at school. We designed posters to be displayed in the school infants corridor as we felt that the younger pupils in the school might not be as aware of the dangers as we are. ⚡️💡
