As part of our adventure, we've been looking at hotels, camp sights, key tourist attractions and even written emails to real hotels! This week, for electricity, we focused on Times Square, working out how the billboards lit up and flashed on and off. We even managed to make our own electric circuits and light up a billboard of our name! --- ### Our Billboards [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/25098/DxmqAHYWkAAhya1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/25098/DxmqAHYWkAAhya1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/25098/DxmqAHZWkAE549V.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/25098/DxmqAHZWkAE549V.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/25098/DxmqAItWkAAIx_D.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/25098/DxmqAItWkAAIx_D.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/20190125_170928L.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-01-supporting-anti-bullying-week) Previous ### [Supporting Anti-Bullying Week](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-01-supporting-anti-bullying-week) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1299L.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-15-year-6-victorian-experience) Next ### [Year 6 Victorian experience](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2019-01-15-year-6-victorian-experience) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
