We talked about the power of electricity and what jobs it helps us to do, but also the importance of how we can be safe around electricity, as it can be very dangerous if not used by a grown up or used carefully. The children enjoyed spotting electrical items around the classroom and the ways we use electricity to improve our learning. We also thought of ways we can save electricity by making sure electrical devices are turned off when they aren't being used.
