Computing

Part 2 of last week’s lesson. This week you will actually be putting images on your webpage.

Last week you looked at the terms ‘fair use’ and ‘copyright’. This week you use copyright-free images and will find appropriate images to use in your work.

Science

In this lesson, you will be learning how we can see different colours. At the end of the lesson there will be a chance to try creating your own rainbow by refracting light! You will need a piece of paper and a pencil for this lesson. If you would like to try making your own rainbow then you will also need a transparent glass of water or an old CD. You can still take part in the lesson if you do not have these items.

Topic

Look at maps A and B. British Empire maps A and B

What do they show? (The development of British Empire over time, from the 17^th century up to the 19^th century.)

In the empire Britain would have gained control of other countries through trade and settlement and then they would have overall control.

Which countries did Britain control by the 19^th century?

Some of these countries have English as the national language because of the historic links to migration from the UK to other parts of the world. In India, they speak Hindi or Urdu but English is spoken by most educated people. What other things might we have taken with us to change these other countries?

Dr. Jessica Truman, an archaeologist, has recently made a wonderful discovery at a London excavation site in Hackney. She found an old wooden chest and she believes the information inside holds information about some colonial people and why they may have migrated to Britain.

Activity: Mystery Chest– Mystery trunk artefacts 1 Mystery trunk artefacts 2

Read the label – It is an address for Karthika Singh, Calcutta, India dated 1909. What do we learn about the owner from that.

Now look inside at the objects that belonged to Karthika. Find out as much information as possible about who she was and why she migrated to England from India.

Her Story: Karthika is from Calcutta. Her brother was Adesh Singh who went to Britain as a lascar (sailor on a steam ship) and then worked for an English officer before he died, then street musician. He married an English maid as not many Indian women in Britain at that time. Karthika worked on a tea plantation but came to England to work as a maid.

What was good about England that made people want to come?

(The promise of the empire – powerful images in newspapers and adverts. Possibly desire for adventure on steam ships. Jobs.)

What was difficult in India that made people want to come?

(Life was hard in India. Work was hard too. British encouraged them to go.)

Not all migrants from the colonies did so badly. Read about Sake Dean Mohamad at this link:

Summing up basic: List any ways that we changed the lives of Indian people? List ways that they changed our lives.

Summing up advancing: How different were the lives of British and Indian migrants?

Summing up deep: Were all Indian migrants treated poorly by the British? Were all British people a higher status to the Indian migrants? Have you seen enough evidence to know?

Design Technology

Gargoyles

What are they? What is their purpose? How are they suited to their design?

Watch youtube about gargoyles. Use ‘gargoyle’ design sheet as a prompt to design own gargoyle -Gargoyles
