Cricket Festival & Athletics Competition

By Mrs J Gowen16th June 2016
Last Wednesday the year 5 & 6 cricket teams went to a festival. Both the boys team and the girls team played against 6 teams. The boys finished 3rd and the girls finished 4th. Both teams showed brilliant sportsmanship and did the school proud.
On Monday 6th June we took 48 children from years 3 – 6 to the annual athletics competition. All the children were fantastic. We are currently awaiting the results to find out how many of our children have made it through to the MK finals.

Phonics in 1b

By c pinder12th June 2016

With the Year One phonics screening check fast approaching us (wb 13.6.16), we have been so busy practising our special phonics jobs and reviewing our sounds. Here are the children playing a game with phase 5 sounds and decoding words. Please continue to support your child by practising their sounds at home, along with playing lots of games suggested at the parents phonics check evening (treasure and trash,etc.). Of course a strong favourite is always playing games on www.phonicsplay.co.uk, where you can play for free!

 

Thank you for all of your support leading up to and throughout the phonics checks.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions!

Year 2 talk about wellbeing and learning zones

By Mrs S Taylor6th June 2016

This morning we visited Holmwood & Ashbrook school to talk about wellbeing and learning zones with their teachers.

Our children spoke confidently to the teachers about why we check our wellbeing and learning zones. We showed them our wellbeing scales and explained what it meant to be on each number.

It was fantastic to hear our children talk with such passion about our school and they were true Brooklands Boys & Girls. We are looking forward to building more partnerships with other schools and sharing the Brooklands message.

Here we are talking to the teachers! We also got to have an explore of their school!
