Reception have been reading all about how to be a Superhero. Do you recognise us even when we are dressed as our superhero alter egos?

Today, we have been finding out how static electricity is created. Using balloons, we have made our hair stand on end! We have also created enough static electricity to be able to lift pieces of paper and stick our balloon to the wall.
