On Friday 6b finished their Philip Pullman work! It looks amazing!
Teaming up with 3b, we had an afternoon of sharing our Philip Pullman ‘This is your life’ biography videos and reading our biographies to them.
After this we opened our hearts to year 3b as they showed us their learning which was spectacular!
Watch our ‘This is your life’ biographies!
Year 6 ‘ignited’ our new project ‘Cracking the Code’ on Monday!
We had an insightful day learning how coding works on ‘Scratch’ a computer system, understanding the importance of Bletchley Park and how it relates to Code Breaking in World War Two and learning how to write coded messages to our friends in Morse Code, a Zodiac Cipher and a Caesar Cipher!
Here are some pictures of the day!

Year 6a and Miss Snowdon joined Mrs Humphris and 3a to share the learning that they had produced as part of our Key Authors whole school project!
School councillors this year are:
Ayaan Umer
Inshirah Khodair
Emily Hirst
Maheen Rizvi
Valisha Sharma
The core purpose of our school council is to ensure all members of our school are listened to. We believe in finding solutions and striving to make our school the best it can be.
We meet every Thursday and discuss our improvement and solutions board and decide what action we are going to take. We also conduct various questionnaires so that we can gather a wide scope of pupil voice.
If you feel there is an improvement to be made please use the board or speak to a school council member.
If you feel you are a good listener, good at finding solutions and are confident to talk about others’ ideas and would like to be on the school council please get in contact with Miss Kikta.
1a and 4a met on Friday to share their amazing key author learning. 1a were superb in showing their amazing floor book with all of their learning inside and in particular not only singing their Gruffalo song but teaching the year 4 children their song. It was clear that year 1 had learnt a lot about Julia Donaldson.
Unfortunately, 4a’s edited version of their interview with Micheal Morpurgo had a few technical hitches however they were still able to show some clips of their work.
We can’t wait to share more learning with different years across the school.
The children in year 4 had an amazing ignite today as they left their normal selves behind and became Egyptian slaves, dancers, Pharaohs, craftsmen and actors today.
They had an amazing morning in which they were given the alter ego of an Egyptian to perform as for the day and took part in creating a variety of different objects that would have been placed in a Pharoah’s tomb. Amazing learning zones were achieved by all of the children in the morning as they were able to physically learn about the Egyptians.
Brooklands Farm Friends (PTA) is looking for new members to help raise funds for our school. For more details, see Jill at Reception.
Welcome back to all the parents and children! We kicked off our learning this term looking at our key author Julia Donaldson.
The children enjoyed sharing their summer projects with the rest of the class and we have now created a fantastic display of all the childrens learning in the project area. Please come and have a look you will find lots of puppets, books, posters and more!
Here are just a few of the projects we enjoyed sharing as a class:
In writing this week the children have been busy writing sentences from Julia Donaldson books. We have been focusing on remembering to include capital letters , full stops and finger spaces.
The children were very excited to start their lanyard learning his week! Here are just a few photos of the fantastic learning the children have completed this week.
Next week we start our first project All about me.
Well done year 1!

Year 6 have wowed us with their video editing skills this week.
We have been learning about the inspirational author, Philip Pullman. To start with the children wrote biographies about his life and achievements. They then created a movie in the style of ‘This is your life’, using their biographies as a voice over. The children shared their learning with each other and gave some constructive feedback.
Everyone enjoyed sharing their video’s with Year 3 this afternoon.
Great learning Year 6!
This week, the children have been researching inspirational leaders for homework.
We have complied a list of our favourite leaders ready to present to Miss Low and Mrs Higginbottom.
Emily and Alfie were very persuasive and produced a very high standard of homework.
Well done Year 6! Keep it up!
