In Science, we have been learning about electricity: where it comes from, what pylons are, how to keep safe when using electricity, batteries or mains as sources of power, and circuits. This week, our learning culminated into group activities where we had to construct a pylon using only newspaper and sellotape. We had to work together to overcome quite a few issues, but managed to build 5 brilliant pylons of our own! We voted on the best tower, and the winners were…Emma, Katie, Lisa and Kerry. Well done to everyone for making such a great effort!

The other task was to create a circuit using special kits provided. We learned that fuses play an important part and also that without a working fuse, the circuit can’t function. One of the groups managed to complete their circuit and watched as the fan started to turn. This was shortly before the fuse blew…lots of great discussions took place.

Here are some pictures of us having fun:

And the winners were….
