Congratulations to Georgina who received her determined pin this week. She has worked really hard to achieve all of her ticks. Keep up the good work – you are a wonderful role model for our class!
What a busy few weeks for 1a!
We thoroughly enjoyed our ignite day where we got to dress up like Stuarts and learn all about the Great Fire of London. We have been using what we learnt since – in literacy we have been looking at Samuel Pepys and his diary entry for the night of the fire. We have imitated his diary, making sure we include time connectives. We have also now innovated his diary, writing from the viewpoint of the baker who was responsible for the fire. This week we move on to invent!
In project we have learnt how they put out the Great Fire in 1666 and compared it to today. We learnt that it is much quicker and easier to put out a fire with fire engines! We also learnt how the tightly packed houses caused the fire to spread quickly and that when London was rebuilt the houses were built further apart with brick fronts. This week in project we will look at everyday materials and their properties.
In maths we started multiplication, looking at groups of. We found this tricky to start with and needed to be determined with our learning. This week we will start learning division.
Thank you so much for all the parents that donated and bought cakes at our bake sale this year and especially all of the staff that helped run the sale. It was a fantastic success and we can’t wait to hear the grand total of the money that was raised!
It was great to see you all dressed up as Superheroes for Children in Need on Friday. Thank you for all of your effort and those delicious cakes! I can’t wait to hear how much money we have raised for a fantastic cause!
We had great fun wearing our pyjamas this week. We went into the dark room and cuddled up with blankets and cushions to have a ‘big read’. We sat listening to sounds of woodland creatures at night time as we imagined all the things that happen when we go to sleep.
What animals come out at night time?
What does the sky look like at night time?
What do we do before we go to sleep?
This week our big art was themed ‘woodland’. We had great fun exploring fuzzy felt shapes, creating trees with leaves, creating ink spray pictures and clay models.
We were very interested in seeing what happened with the size of our shadow when we moved closer and further away from our light source.
Here is the homework for Year 4 this week.
Given Friday 13th November – due in on the 18th November!
It was such a proud moment to award an open, grow, believe pin on Friday morning! A huge congratulations to this member of 4b, who since September has taken on board the school ethos and understands what it means to be part of Brooklands Farm. He has really grown in confidence since joining us and it is so lovely to see him forming strong friendships and feeling settled into his new school!
Well done!
We are all so proud to congratulate the first two achieve pins in class 4b!
You have both worked so hard this term to achieve, believe in yourself and to celebrate every step of success you make!
Well done!
Thank you to everyone in year one who dressed up, baked cakes, ate cakes and donated money to Children in Need on Friday! I was bowled over by the amount of effort put into costumes and the delicious treats, along with the money we raised – total to follow.
