We have really enjoyed learning about The Little Red Hen story.
We made masks so that we could act out the story. We also learnt a different version of the story, told by Pie Corbett, using Talk for Writing. Watch this space to see us retelling the story just using actions! We have been practising really hard.
In February half term, Jozef in Year 6 attended a junior film makers course and worked with other children across Milton Keynes to make a road safety film. Last Saturday the films were premiered at Willen Lake and there was also an awards ceremony for the children who took part in the project.
Everyone at Brooklands is really proud of Jozef, who not only worked really hard and developed his skills in film making and technology to make the film but also was invited on stage at the premiere to talk about the experience!
Here are some pictures from the premiere –
We also created irreversible chemical reactions to create carbon-dioxide.
Children in Foundation have had an exciting day looking,and holding, our newly hatched chicks today. So far we have got four chicks that are strong and healthy and now living in the brooder box. We have one more,very weak and tired chick, that needed a little help getting out of its egg shell. This will stay in the incubator till tomorrow. Two eggs have yet to hatch…watch this space for an update on them!
Children have been enjoying holding the chicks and have talked about their similarities and differences in colour, size, etc. We have already had some great questions from the children including “What do they eat?”, ” How big will they get?” and “Can they fly?”.
Following our assessment meetings in Year 2, we have created the following videos for parents to inform you of the written maths methods we will be using in the summer term in Year 2. Below are the first videos with examples of how to use our written addition methods.
Your children will be learning these methods with their class teacher alongside practical methods.
We hope these videos give you a clearer understanding of the methods we use at school. Subtraction, Division & Multiplication methods to follow soon!!
We loved creating our own workable windmill this week! The Little Red Hen would
be very proud!
We ignited our Little Red Hen project by tasting a variety of different breads. We loved discussing the different textures, herbs, shapes and colours of each bread. They were all very different.
After we had tasted the breads the children decided on their favourite type and we made a graph to find out our favourite.
Crumpets were our winner, followed by white loaf and Italian flatbread.
Congratulations Jellyfish class for winning the attendance trophy for 100% attendance all week!
