No such thing as electricity!

Last term we looked at electrical energy and what it is used for.  This term we are looking how people did things without electricity.  Say what?

To coincide with forming the letter 'b' at handwriting time on Friday we made some butter...without using electricity.  It was so much fun!  After that we used the butter to make some 'fairy biscuits'.  Yum!

During the week we also talked about the things children did 100 years ago to amuse themselves.  Room 12 were a bit shocked to discover that children couldn't watch television, play on an iPad, or use a remote control car!  They were also a little surprised to find that most kids could sew their own clothes, or sew their own repairs 100 years ago.  So we had a go at some sewing.  Room 12 persevered...and look!  What a great job!

The finished product

Tomorrow we are going to learn how to play hopscotch...
