Summer term 2012 - Making connections

Our topic this half-term is 'Making Connections'
One theme we will is explore in 'Making Connections' is Electricity.


As usual the children have raised lots of interesting questions for us to answer, such as:
  • How is electricity made?
  • How does electricity get to our homes?
  • How has electricity changed our lives?

To find out how electricity is made and how it gets to our homes click HERE
 

You will also learn about how dangerous electricity is.  

 So STAY SAFE and NEVER PLAY WITH ELECTRICITY!

This clip is all about how electricty travels around London - especially important to us because we are London Base.
