--- title: "Y6 Electricity" url: "https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-11-09-16-01-25-y6-electricity" school: "Brookside Primary School" --- # Y6 Electricity ![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/blog/1699538550238.jpeg) 9 November 2023 [Mr Whitcombe](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/author/DavidWhitcombe) [Year 6](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/category/year-6) We had lots of fun creating circuits and testing out our predictions. Our topic this half-term is "Staying Safe" - so we also discussed the dangers of electricity - this will be embedded further next week on our 'Safety Central' Workshop. The national curriculum objectives covered: 1. Associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit. 2. Compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches. 3. Use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram. ### Y6 Electricity [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135651.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135651.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135723.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135723.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135748.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135748.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135817.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135817.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135831.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-electricity/IMG_20230125_135831.jpg) [Year 6](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-6) [Science](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_20211008_110829.jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-11-09-14-35-24-y6-maths-challenge) Previous ### [Y6 Maths Challenge](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-11-09-14-35-24-y6-maths-challenge) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_4195%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-11-10-15-21-22-year-3-science-sedimentary-dear-watson) Next ### [Year 3 Science - Sedimentary Dear Watson](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-11-10-15-21-22-year-3-science-sedimentary-dear-watson) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
