13th to 17th June
We have made good progress with our technology project this week, making a simple automata with linear reciprocating movement from card materials to investigate a very simple cam mechanism. Then we began designing our own automata with the aim of using two cams.
In English we read some more of our Grandpa Chatterji story and also looked at two other stories set in India to try to identify aspects of Indian culture mentioned in them.
We had a special focus on music this week. We had one activity which was all about describing music (in terms of temp, volume and mood) and we also did two composing activities using percussion instruments.
It was our Sports' Day on Thursday afternoon and, on Friday, it was our school summer fair.
