Year 1 had a great time today on their walk to the allotments.
They looked at the different types of vegetables that grow there. They also had the chance to look around a greenhouse and pick some salad leaves. They also were able to pick some vegetables to bring back to school.
The children are all inspired to grow vegetables and we are going to have a go at planting our own and watching them grow at school.
Today we started our new maths journey for the week. The children have begun to look at division by sharing between people and dividing into equal groups. We made a fantastic start and I can’t wait to see how the children continue to grow their understanding.
We worked as a team to solve problems and use our success criteria.
Here we are working independently.
Here we are about to green & gold our fantastic learning from today’s lesson.
Today we made a start to our new topic… Chocolate! We wrote down all the questions we wanted to answer during our topic and displayed them in the classroom. We hope to answer them all through our learning this term.
Some of our questions included:
Do cocoa beans grow in England?
How much chocolate is sold every day?
Who grows cocoa beans?
How is chocolate transported around the world?

On Monday this week, the children in year 4 were able to learn some fantastic techniques to help them survive in an extreme environment.
They gained some superb knowledge from some incredible Parks Trust employees and were able to put some of these ideas into practice: learning how to create effective shelters, collect and filter water, find nutrition that was edible and learning how to create an effective fire to provide warmth.
The children were inspired by their ignite day and returned to school with some amazing questions and ideas for their learning in the new project.
A special thank you must go to the parents who supported us on the day and for all of the parents who volunteered.
It’s great to see the children so keen to learn!

5C definitely had a reason to celebrate this morning, these girls have both achieved their Open, Grow, Believe badges! We are very proud of them, they only started at Brooklands in September and have settled into our school brilliantly! They have opened their hearts, grown in their relationships and believed in themselves and others. Well done girls!
Click on the link to watch the newly released advert for the Skoda Fabia, created by the wonderful Janelle in Class 2b! She wrote the advert herself and then recorded herself reading it aloud. We then used Windows Movie Maker to add Janelle’s voice recording onto a video of the Skoda Fabia.
Skoda are expecting their Fabia sales to go through the roof after this video goes live!
