Dear year 3 parents and guardians

As part of our design and technology focus this term, we have been evaluating torches. With a great link to the electricity topic from last half term, we are planning to spend a day building torches focussing on building circuits and designing a sturdy case.

We have been able to secure funding for all children to make a circuit within school. However, we need your help with the case. After thorough evaluation, we have found the best item to use as a case is a 500 ml plastic bottle such as a coke bottle etc.

We would like all children to bring in a 500 ml plastic bottle in for Wednesday 23^rd November. This bottle needs to be sturdy so we would advise a bottle designed for carbonated drinks rather than a flimsy water bottle. The bottle needs to be empty and in school by Wednesday 23^rd November. Children may bring them in from Monday 21^st November and keep them in their tray.

To ensure all pupils can finish the day with their very own torch that they can bring home, we need all pupils to bring in a plastic bottle. If there are any issues, please contact your class teacher.

All the best,

Year 3 team
