Residential CW Day 1

21st September 2022Mrs c Hern

We started our trip with a walk around Stanwick lakes and enjoyed playing in the park. We had a picnic before heading back to find out who was in our room and to get ready for activity number 1. The task for making our own bed, some of us found this harder than others and relied on our friends to help! Each group enjoyed a different activity this afternoon before we had dinner. Once it was dark, we grabbed our torches and headed out for a night walk. We finished with a biscuit and some games before we got into bed. We are all looking forward to day 2!

Brooklands Farm Primary School will be closed on Monday 11th December.

We have tried so very hard to keep our school open tomorrow. However, with all schools closed around us it has now become impossible for enough staff to attend work. It is therefore with regret to announce we are now closed on Monday 11th December.

We are expecting to open the school on Tuesday 12th December.
Please check the school website for more information tomorrow evening.

Year 6 Residential Day 2

By Mrs c Hern30th June 2017

Everyone had an amazing time yesterday. All of the children went on the high ropes in the morning. It was lovely to have all of the children on the same activity at once, so that the adults got to work with all of the children. In the afternoon, group one went fencing and then were set a challenge in the maze. Group two went kayaking and then had to walk the plank. After dinner, we went into the sports hall where we had hired two enormous bouncy castles. We held a very competitive relay race around the obstacle course, surprisingly both teams finished neck and neck. The children finished the evening with a quiz before bed. All of the children drifted off to sleep much quicker than they did the first night.

The children are having an amazing time!

 

Year 6 Residential Day 1

By Mrs c Hern29th June 2017

 

The coach was filled with excitement yesterday as we pulled into the Frontier centre. We quickly dropped off our bags and had an early lunch before setting off to Stanwick lakes, where the children had a great time playing on the climbing frames. Luckily the weather was kind to us and we only had a really light sprinkle while we were there.

Once we were back at the Frontier Centre, we split the children into two groups. Group one got the opportunity to walk the plank and go kayaking. All of the children enjoyed these activities and Miss Sheridan and myself managed to have a good giggle!

Group two went straight onto the King Swing and then went fencing. The children were absolutely buzzing when they returned from the King Swing and said it was incredible.

The children all finished their dinner and then made their way down to the campfire (which we struggled to get going!).  Mr Crawford was determined to get the fire started so a few children put on a show for us whilst we waited for the flames to heighten.

We had a great day yesterday and are all looking forward to today’s adventure!

(Due to limited internet availability, we seem to be struggling to upload photos. We will try our best to add one or two over the next couple of days)

Strong and Powerful Classrooms

By Mrs c Hern20th July 2016

Today, Upper Juniors have been busy designing their own classrooms. We believe that it is important that all of the children take ownership over their classrooms and work in partnership with each other and the teachers.

Some fantastic suggestions were put forward by the children and they have already started to act upon these ideas. The children understand that their environment can constantly change and be adapted to the type of learning that they are experiencing. I am excited to see how their environments progress over the course of the year.

Year 6 Residential Success

By Mrs c Hern10th July 2016

Thank you to all of the Year 6 children who took part in the Caldecotte Xperience residential. I was lucky enough to spend the day with the children on Friday. This was the perfect opportunity to get to know the children and see how they manage new challenges. I have to say I was amazed by the growth mindset of the children.
A number of children, who could not swim, jumped into the lake and were coached by their peers on how to stay calm and get out of the water safely. The expression on their faces when they had achieved their goals was a sight that I will cherish. These inspirational children stole my heart!
After only a week of transition, these individuals are truly ready to continue their journeys into Year 6 and become strong and powerful learners.

I’m looking forward to the year ahead!
