The big idea...
Electricity is an energy that makes things work. It flows along wires inside our house and classroom. Our lights, TVs, computers mobile phones, cars, and many other things use electricity. Did you know that thunder and lightning is a type of electricity? Did you know your hair can have electricity too? There are lots of other exciting facts about electricity that we are going to discover together in the Primary class over the next few weeks.
In Science, we’ll be finding out:
- about static electricity
- how to make our own electrical circuit
- about electricity at home and in the classroom
- about the dangers of electricity
In Technology, we’ll be finding out:
- how to design and make a torch
In History, we’ll be finding out:
- What we did before electricity
A reminder that the Entry Point for this unit will take place on Monday 10th March with a visit to Technopolis in Mechelen. It will be a fun kick-off for our new unit.
We look forward to seeing you at Gent St Pieters train station at 8.40am at the latest. Please be on time! We will meet by the doors of the main entrance (facing the fountain).
Parents who would like to pick up their child at the end of the day from the station, need to be there at 15.05. Those not picked up will walk back to school for home time at 15.30.
Children need to bring a snack, a water bottle, cold lunch and some fruit!
We hope you have had a lovely spring break and look forward to seeing you soon!
