Well done to everyone in 4b for coping with change so well this week.
We have had a fantastic time building our community and learning about each other!
Have a lovely weekend!

The teachers at Brooklands Farm have been working hard over the past few weeks to plan and design what our school curriculum will look like in September to coincide with the change of national curriculum.
We have created innovative project plans for each year group, focusing on being fun, creative, inspirational and educational.
Of course, the best judges for these plans are the children so we hosted our own version of ‘The Voice’!
The children were asked to give feedback about our project proposals in order to gain their opinions and improve our projects, tailoring them specifically to the children’s interests.

This is a video of what we all learnt:
The sun was shining brightly over Brooklands Farm this afternoon. We spent the afternoon on a camouflage hunt! The children worked together in their learning trios to find camouflage for lots of different insects.
Can you spot the insects in the pictures below?
When looking for camouflage the children thought very carefully about the different colours and shapes of their insects.
Can you spot the worm in this photograph?
During our camouflage hunt we were lucky enough to find this lovely orange caterpillar who was hidden by his own camouflage on a log!

We have had a busy afternoon trying to find locations where our bugs can blend into the environment .
The Year 2s have had their first Boxercise session with James Ayres. What a great way to re-energise after a busy few days! They loved it and can’t wait for their next session!
We have had a great start in year 5!
Last week we made our class rules and created a ‘learners promise’ together! We also created our protective hands which are displayed in the classrooms.
In our classes we discussed the expectations of Year 5 learners and what it means to be individual. The children now have a clear understanding and are well on there way to earning their ‘individual’ badges.
We have started learning our upper key stage 2 songs ‘Gold’ and ‘Roar’ which the children are enjoying.
This week we are starting to write our own poems about The Journey of Brooklands Farm and have started their hand based art project.
Year 6 enjoyed singing the World Cup song! Ole! Click on the link to watch our video.
We have shown great determination this week! W e are learning to check each other’s well being and we have set some expectations for our learning environment in year 1.
Today the children took big steps in their maths learning! We have been looking at place value and children have been using the words ‘tens’ and ‘units’ to talk about numbers. We have been exploring numbers and using ‘maths talk’ to explain our reasoning.
We have used tens and units apparatus to build numbers:
We tried different number challenges and used ‘maths talk’ to explain what we found:
I am already looking forward to our next lesson tomorrow!
Message to parents:
Please can you make sure that your child brings their book bag into school every day so that they have their reading record and current reading book. The children will read with both their class teacher and a TA during the week.
Please can you also ensure your child brings a named water bottle into school with them daily (it is especially important with the hot weather we have had recently)
Thank you
Mrs Hover 🙂
