The class were given the challenge this week to build electrical circuits using a bag full of electrical parts. Each group had to work together to create a series circuit and/or a parallel circuit, introducing switches when appropriate. Every group managed to build a working circuit as a team. They then explained how they did it, the knowledge and understanding behind each type of circuit and finally the skills required for the task.

Finally I would like to thank all the staff and the children for their enthusiasm and commitment throughout Science Week. It was a pleasure to see pupils and family members engaged in educational discussion and having fun.
Outdoor Inspiration
P6 Leaders
Kenya
P6 have been busy completing homework tasks about their class topic, Kenya. We have researched information, created models of houses and jewellery and created interesting stories, news reports and diaries. We have also had some amazing artefacts from Kenya brought into our class to discuss and look at.
Well done P6!
