The children have had a great first day! They have been doing team building activities, caving, fencing and archery.
We were very lucky to have a visit from the charity Wheelpower, who help support and encourage disabled children to take part in sport. Year 3 had the opportunity to have a go on wheelchairs that are used for wheelchair basketball. They came away with the understanding that wheelchairs are a positive thing as they enable people to take part in sport and to do things they might not have been able to do without one.
Over the weekend some of our children took part in the Athletics finals, winning medals for Brooklands Farm for the first time. The children have done themselves and Brooklands Farm proud, well done!!!
We are really pleased to announce the return of Start the Art, the early years and community program delivered by MKG and Brooklands arts team.
Hosted by Countess Way site the sessions offer opportunities for creative exploration for pre school members of the community and their parents and the Foundation stage children who attend Countess Way.
The sessions are carefully planned to access all aspects of sensory learning, allowing the children to experience a range high quality and sometimes unusual materials in a friendly child initiated environment.
Sessions for pre schoolers can be booked through Milton Keynes gallery website.

The sessions for Foundation are included in their usual weekly timetable.
Walking with Giants! What can I say?…now it’s all over I have had a little time to reflect.
The sun shone, the children danced and sang their hearts out, teachers joined in with so much enthusiasm, parents and friends smiled, a team pulled together, an artist and his teams of children across both schools created, drummers drummed and the parade began, two schools as one, a community growing and celebrating together …grateful and proud to be part of the Brooklands Farm Legacy!
Thank you to everyone involved and of course everyone who attended!
One community together…
Over the last few days, year 3 and 4 have undertaken the final aspect of our project: Create and Communicate.
Here are a selection of the thinglinks that children used to communicate their creations:
I am so proud of all the children in my class and all the minutes that they read! The buzz around reading this week has been phenomenal. Though we didn’t win, we did incredibly well to come second and we can share in Mr Morrison’s class’ success. The £1000 reading corner will be on the lower key stage 2 corridor so all the children who have taken part can enjoy it!
Well done again to everyone who read 🙂
