With some help from Ms. Wellburn, children in 4W learnt about Sabina (12) and Rupchan (8) who work in a brickfield factory in Bangladesh. The children composed Indian Ragas in small groups on the theme of 'Seven days a week, twelve hours a day' - the working hours of the children.

Lyrics:
Seven days a Week
Seven days a week, twelve hours a day
Seven days a week, I'm starving
Seven days a week, we are only children
Seven days a week, we are hungry children
They forced me, we're hungry
Seven days a week, they forced me
Seven days a week, twelve hours a day
In the afternoon, the children of 4M wrote an amazing blues song about Olaudah Equiano. The children used their voices to improvise and with one excellent musician playing her trumpet, everyone enjoyed themselves.
