Investigating Circuits in Year 4

Year 4 Poplar Class have enjoyed learning about electricity this half term. We first learnt about mains and batteries, locating objects which use each type of electricity. Then we used different components to create our own electrical circuits. Next week, we will be investigating conductors and insulators.

Year 5 Trip to Maritime Museum

Year 5 are learning about the Titanic this term and went on a trip to the Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The children learnt about the lives of those that were at sea and had a look around to explore what we would come across on deck.

 

 

We took part in interactive activities that made us feel like we were on board; we were able to use signalling that was used at sea, such as Morse Code and flag texting.We familiarised ourselves with what a kitchen and a boiler room would have been like on a ship too!

We experienced what it felt like to load cargo on a boat to keep it balanced. We carefully took turns in using a crane to lift and lower the cargo onto a boat. We tried to keep this levelled and soon found out that this was not as easy as it looked!

Can you spot any crew members from Bannockburn?
