In Y6 this afternoon we revisited Electricity that we learned about in Y4.

We took part in a quiz and got to grips with all the specific vocabulary – we remembered that an insulator blocks the flow of electricity and a conductor can transmit electricity.

We looked at a variety of electrical components and had a go at building circuits – we quickly remembered that the circuit needed to be continuous and could not have any breaks in it. We were able to make circuits that included bulbs, switches and buzzers!

We then matched the component to the corresponding symbol and described what its function was. We then applied our new knowledge to draw circuit diagrams using the correct symbol.
