Year Six this term are the St Matthew’s ‘in house’ electricians and this week we have been making circuits – we even made one with a dimmer switch using a pencil (there’s a video below if you want to have a go!)
We are putting all this practice in for next week – Science Week. During Science Week Miss Manhire has set us the task of making a working burglar alarm. She wants us to put in place to figure out who keeps taking all her green pens. We will let you know how we get on – and who the culprit is!
