As we came to the end of our Grandpa Chatterji work, we thought about the character of Grandpa and how this had been shown by the author. We also thought about how the character of Grandpa Leicester had changed through the story. We read the remainder of the book and then watched a film version of the story, discussing how this had been changed (and why) and whether the changed had been successful. Our maths this week included some problem solving work and also included some revision of ideas involving fractions, decimals and percentages. We finished the week by thinking about number sequences and how these can be explained.

We made further good progress in technology. Most of us had almost all the components needed to complete our automata and will hope to finish constructing these next week.

There were tow other special activities this week. On Monday we had a special history day when we had a "government game" which helped us investigate three different forms of government used in ancient Athens - monarchy, oligarchy and democracy. We played out the three different scenarios and reflected on them using Padlet (a sort of on-line Post-It wall) to give our own views of each. On Thursday we had our school music concert.
