Today we have been exploring electricity for our science topic. Last week we read the Lighthouse keepers picnic so we decided to make our own lighthouses. Today we got to wire up our own lights ready to fit them onto the lighthouses. We also had fun making simple circuits using wires with crocodile clips attached to batteries to make a fan go round, to make a light bulb light up and a buzzer sound. We also tried different ways of making things brighter or louder by adding two batteries to the circuit and also explored using a switch to switch them on and off again.
Max – We were making real electricity!
Maxwel – We were decorating the lighthouses at the messy area.
Rory – It had to be in a circle like a circuit.
Archie – We were making different electricity things to make them work.
Josh – We batteries to put into the things and there was a noise maker and if you put two batteries it made the fan go really fast.
Lewis – We made wee lights to put in our lighthouses and had to use screw drivers to wire it up.
