We were then given paper, tin foil, paper clips, split pins and other resources to have a go at making different types of switches. ### Switches in Y4 [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4184.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4184.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4185.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4185.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4181.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4181.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4179.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4179.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4178.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4178.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4176.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4176.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4175.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4175.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4174.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4174.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4173.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4173.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4171.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4171.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4169.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/images/gallery/switches-in-y4/IMG_4169.jpeg) [Year 4](https://www.scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-4) [Science](https://www.scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_6271.jpeg)](https://www.scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-06-15-55-00-the-great-scotforth-bread-bake-off-2025) Previous ### [The Great Scotforth Bread Bake Off 2025](https://www.scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-06-15-55-00-the-great-scotforth-bread-bake-off-2025) [![](https://files.schudio.com/scotforth-st-paul-s-cofe-primary-nursery-school/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_0586.jpeg)](https://www.scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-07-15-48-00-julian-opie-style-portraits) Next ### [Julian Opie style portraits](https://www.scotforth-st-pauls.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-02-07-15-48-00-julian-opie-style-portraits) -
