Spring 2 - Electricity ⚡️
It’s electrifying! Year 4 were very excited to start our new topic this half term - electricity! ⚡️We explored some simple circuits and discussed where our electricity comes from. We also talked about what devices and appliances we use at home and where they get their power.
