Electricity Project

In year  4 we have started a mini project about electricity.  So far we have made  a simple circuit using a battery, wires, a bulb holder and a bulb. In the second session we looked at switches. A switch is used to turn electrical appliances on and off. They work by opening and closing circuits. We worked in groups to make simple switches using butterfly clips, paper clips and card. We have really enjoyed these practical sessions. 

OUR BOOK FAIR AND AN ENGLISH LIBRARY SESSION

Last week we had the English Book Fair at school. All the classes visited the Fair in the morning. Ruth and Justin told us stories and poems. In Year 4 they told us the poem "Mister Magnolia" with lots of rhyming words. 

In the afternoon families and teachers from other schools were invited to visit the Fair. 

Also last week we celebrated an evening English library session (we call them Bibliotardes). Some children from year 1 to year 5 had prepared poems, songs, chants and plays. It was a nice evening!
