This week we have been learning about electricity, we have been making circuits from our instructions we wrote.

We made a bulb light up by having a completely connected circuit.

In Topic and Literacy I got to work in the castle and I tried to work out different Roman numerals. Rebecca dressed up like a Roman Soldier.
