Exploring Power
This week in Year 1 the children were invited to bring in a battery operated toy from home. We explored how a battery works and looked at the use of a switch on a toy. We also looked at how batteries power the toys to do different things. The children then drew a picture of their toy and wrote some sentences to explain how the battery works.
