On Friday the 2nd of November, hard working Year 4 went to Think Tank in Birmingham, they went because their topic is called ‘Switched On’. They wanted to know more about electricity.
This was year four’s first trip this term. They arrived there at half past ten to explore there journey to Think Tank. Year 4 liked it there because there were lots of different parts like Electrifying Science, Things About Me, The Streets the Past, and The Futures. They learnt that there are two different kinds of electricity, current electricity is what is in your homes and static electricity is in your body. Year 4 went to a show called ‘Electrifying Science’ and a lady showed them how electricity works and she showed them how to stick a balloon on the wall using static electricity.
There was another part called ‘The Streets’, they had lots of fun learning about cars.
There was a part called, ‘The Past’ and it was about cars, buses, trains and things that make gold.
They also visited a place called, ‘Futures’ and they saw a robot which moved and talked.
Serena, a pupil from Year 4 said, ‘it was a very good trip and I learnt a lot of things.’
Miss Haywood, Head teacher, said, ‘It was a very good trip to go on and the pupils have learnt about electricity. They loved it!’
