Year 2 Help... There's been a power cut!

Date: 24th Mar 2022 @ 4:23pm

Yesterday, we used the Now Press Play equipment to further explore our topic of Electricity. In the story there was a power cut in our town whilst our sister was in urgent need of her dialysis- usually they have this at home but due to the lack of power had to attend the hospital. The hospital was incredibly busy and was using the limited supply of generators. The children decided they had to do something to help and went on a trip to the power station to try and get the power back on to save the people in the hospital. The children used their knowledge of how to make a simple circuit using batteries, wires and bulbs to make their own torch and explored the differences between coal and wind energy. At the end we saved the day and got the towns Electricity back on and disucssed which source of energy is renewable and better for the environment. The children loved the story and it really supported the knowledge of Electricity they have learnt this half term.
