How does Electricity help us?

This half term we are going to be learning all about electricity and how it is used. Our focus will be on:

• Drawing simple circuits using symbols.
• Conductivity
• How we change the brightness of a bulb and volume of a buzzer
• Turning switches on and off.

Throughout the half term, the children will be reading Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz to identify the features of the spy fiction genre and then apply these to their own short stories. We will be writing a diary entry in the role of Alex Rider and also designing our own spy gadget and writing an explanation text.

Our maths focus will be on Number and Fractions.

In art we will be using fingerprints as a base to design printing plates.  Then we will use these to print carefully thinking about colour, rotation of the prints and repeating patterns.
