Torch Making in Year 4!

This term our project has focused on 'Incredible Inventions' and we have been exploring different types of torches, but also in Science we have been focusing on light and creating simple series circuits.

In order to make our torches, we first researched different types to understand the audiences and purposes of different styles. We designed our own torches thinking about how it will appeal to our audience through colour, shape and size. We then finally created our torches and made circuits for them to actually light up! It is safe to say we had some incredible and eye catching torches made!

Lots of persevering was needed for the circuit to work when connected to our handmade switches, but the hard work paid off! We even saw some brilliant teamwork of the children working together and helping each other even through the challenging bits!
