In our English work this week we have thought about the characters in the Grandpa Chatterji novel and how the author developed the character of Grandpa Leicester in the episode in which he meets Grandpa Chatterji. We considered the character's actions, what he says, the way he speaks and the effect he has on other characters.

Our maths has mainly focused on percentages. This has included developing our understanding of percentages as parts of a hundred and also relating them to fractions and decimals.

Our other two main activities this week have been our study of the Gurdwara and our Technology work. In RE we have used video and reference texts to find out about the Sikh Gurdwara. We have used this information to create a PowerPoint presentation including photographs of different parts of a Gurdwara and noting what is illustrated in the photo of that part of the building, what people do there, why they do it and the significance of this for Sikh people. We have had two technology sessions and many of us now have two cams on the axle of our automaton and have made a start on constructing the parts for the cam followers.
