Year 4 – Making Torches

To link with our History unit, Year 4 have been using their Science and Design and Technology skills to design and create a torch to help a miner see in an underground mine. We had three criteria to meet in our design:

– our torches needed to light up,

– they needed a switch to be able to turn on and off,

– they needed to be portable

The children built an electrical circuit using a bulb and a switch. They made their own homemade switches using their knowledge of conductors and insulators. They then designed and built their torch. We were very impressed with their functional and creative designs.

Black Country Living Museum

Year 4 had such a wonderful day out at the Black Country Living Museum last week. We all went for a walk through an underground mine. It was quite scary but we really enjoyed experiencing what it would have been like to work in a coal mine.  We also visited an Industrial Revolution street and popped into some of the shops, attended a Victorian school lesson (on our best behaviour!) and played some traditional games.
