A huge congratulations to our first official 6b ‘strong and powerful’ year 6’s, who today achieved their red badges.
These children have shown their resilience, leadership and problem solving abilities across the school. It was a real pleasure to award them their badges, which are well deserved.
Thank you to the parents for sharing this special moment with us.
This week’s spelling list are either ‘per’, ‘pro’ or ‘pre’ spellings. The children will be tested on the Wednesday we come back in their normal homework marking slot.
Children’s spellings are individualised to their needs. The spelling rule for each week is the same for all children. Children will either be focused on a green, orange or yellow spelling list. Children need to focus on these spellings for their spelling test but can look at others to progress their spellings further.
Here are this week’s spellings:
Green Group
Perfect
Perhaps
Predict
Prefer
Promise
Progress
Persist
Orange Group
Progress
Profit
Profession
Preview
Presume
Production
Provoke
Permanent
Prepare
Provide
Yellow Group
Prehistoric
Procedure
Precaution
Permanent
Permission
Prohibit
Precipitation
Proclamation
President
Producer

Watch this space for more photos of the children being salespeople in our very own showroom!
Today, Class 2a visited the VW Commercial Vehicles Centre where they learnt how to sell a vehicle. The staff in the VCommercial Vehicles Centre were kind enough to show the children around the showroom, giving us tips on how to be the best salesperson. We learnt that they start by doing a ‘Meet and Greet’ with a customer. Then they find out what type of vehicle they want. This depends on what the customer needs the van for.

Today, Class 2c visited the luxurious Audi garage where they learnt how to sell a car. The staff in the Audi garage were kind enough to show the children around the showroom, even allowing them to sit in the much sought-after Audi R8! They also gave us some tips on how to be a good salesperson. We learnt that they start by doing a ‘Meet and Greet’ with a customer. Then they find out what type of car they want.

Remember Year 1 parents that our classrooms will be open on Thursday straight after school (3:30-4pm) and again on Friday morning (8:30-9:00) for you to come in and see the children’s learning.
The children have all been using their ‘determined’ muscles today to make books all about themselves. We will be carrying on with these books ready to share them with you.
Many thanks
The Year 1 Team 🙂
What an amazing start to the week the year 4 children have had. They finally found out that their project for this week is about solving logistical problems and then had the opportunity to see cars from the VW brand on Monday.
Then on a busy Tuesday, the children had the opportunity to ask people from the VW breakdown assistance group and The AA some questions about how to solve the baffling breakdown system. This also included the chance to get to see 6 different types of breakdown vehicle. The children were full of ‘superb questions’ and ‘were some of the most polite children that The AA men had worked with’.
We can’t wait in year 4 to be able to set up our own control centre and begin co-ordinating our own Brooklands Breakdown service.
5c are currently working hard, continuing their fantastic ignite learning. They are researching the Volkswagen Beetle and creating a time line showing how and why it has been produced and how it has adapted to become the Beetle we know today.
Did you know… The Beetle was originally called the KDF Wagen! It only started being called the Beetle by volkswagen because everyone else had started using the name because of the shape of it!
It’s fantastic to see the children so engaged and motivated by this project- they are definitely working in learning zones 4 and 5!
Volkswagon project has begun and the year 1 children couldn’t wait to go out onto the playground to explore.
We had a superb time exploring all the different cars and camper vans. The children especially loved sitting in the drivers seat and enjoyed driving Miss Tate to magical worlds and holiday adventures!
Here are just a few photographs from this afternoon.
Miss Tate 🙂
