Date: 20th Mar 2026 @ 3:04pm
Children in Year 3 and 4 created their final product as part of their electricity unit.
The children have designed a torch including a simple circuit.
Children could talk through step by step instructions of how they made their torches using cardboard and a glue gun. The children used maths skills to measure their design in cm and mm.
‘I’m making the circuit by threading the wire and twisting it to the bulb.’ - Harry
‘I’m making a circuit to go inside my torch using a black and red wire.’ - Autumn
‘I’ve enjoyed making the torches, I chose a square in my design so it’s simple.’ - Albie
