This has been our test week at school, when we use tests in English and maths to help us monitor progress in these subjects. These cover reading, writing and spelling, mental and written maths (including the use of a calculator). In addition, we have looked at division in mathematics, including changing the quotient to a fraction and also, in maths problems, considering whether the answer requires you to round up or round down to give the answer. In English, we have revised the writing of dialogue, including the correct punctuation of speech as we wrote conversations between the children and the parents who are characters in the Grandpa Chatterji book.

We have completed our games programming work in ICT (improving the programmes we created in using "Scratch", by adding further graphics and timers etc.) and also tried to complete our PowerPoint presentations in RE (about the Sikh Gurdwara) and Science (about seed dispersal).

We made a prototype "cam" mechanism in Design Technology and made notes about this ready to consider ideas for the designs we should use for our final products.

We ended the week practising the song which we will perform in our Jubilee Concert at school next week.
