What have we learnt about magnets this term?
We use magnets every day. Below are some examples.
Fridge doors
Magnets in the seal around fridge doors hold them tightly closed.
Fridge magnets
We can stick magnets to fridge and other magnetic surfaces. They can be used to hold up shopping lists, Christmas cards, child art or reminders. They can also be used for decoration.
Toy trains
Some toy trains use magnets to attach carriages.
Magnets are also a great way to separate different metals. This is because some of the metals will stick to the magnet and some won't. This means they can use magnets when splitting up materials and use this to recycle things faster!
Some pieces of jewellery have magnetic clasps to clip the ends together around your neck or arm. There are also magnetic earrings for people who don't have their ears pierced.
Activity
Create a poster about the importance of magnets. Choose three examples, sketch them and label.

LC: Raise questions during the reading process to deepen understanding.
'Taller than a house, the Iron Man stood at the top of the cliff, on the very brink, in the darkness. The wind sang through his iron fingers. His great iron head, shaped like a dustbin but as big as a bedroom, slowly turned to the right, slowly turned to the left. His iron ears turned, this way, that way. He was hearing the sea. His eyes, like headlamps, glowed white, then red, then infra-red, searching the sea. Never before had the Iron Man seen the sea.'
Let's discuss some interesting words and phrases and then add them to our learning wall.
