We have continued with our English work based on the Grandpa Chatterji book, thinking about aspects of Indian culture introduced into the story line, working on increasing the variety of punctuation in our own writing and re-writing an episode of the story from the point of view of one of the characters (the children's mother). Our work in maths has involved investigations about two and three dimensional shapes and nets as well as number work (focusing on division).

We have spent some time on our design technology project. We have drawn out and labeled our final designs, completed the frame which will support our automata and constructed the main axle mechanism.

In our latest unit of work in music, we have used tuned and untuned percussion instruments to compose, modify, practice and perform short pieces of music in small groups and have listened to music from different parts of the world and different periods of history, drawing and writing about them.

Our science work has concentrated on developing practical skills - in particular those involved in planning our own experiments. We have planned our own investigations, ensuring that they were fair tests by recording the factor we were going to change and the factors we were going to ensure were kept the same from test to test.
