Well done 5A for winning the attendance trophy last week! All our exercise and active breaks must be helping us to stay healthy!
Remember to bring in your water bottles every day so that you can take them out onto the playground with you and stay hydrated.
Well done everyone!
On Wednesday, Brooklands Farm came third out of eighteen schools in the Silverstone 10K! It was a great event and we loved having supporters there to cheer us on. Miss Ritchie also got a medal for being the fastest female out of all the school teams! A massive well done to everyone that took part.
We are already excited about next year and would love it if we could get more parents, governors and staff involved as it is open to all of you! We will let you know more details nearer the time.
Recently, we had a visit from the DHL lorry company to understand how to stay safe around lorries. We found it really interesting even though it was pouring down with rain!
Last month we had the chance to go and visit the Health Centre whilst it was being built. We asked A LOT of questions and found out exactly how they built it! Here are some photos from the afternoon.
It has been an intense 3 days of cycling in very low temperatures but everyone tried amazingly hard, were very resilient and all received a certificate for their effort! It has been lovely to see how much everyone can progress over 3 sessions and they had great instructors to support them. Some children managed to pass their Level 2 as well!
Well done to everyone who took part!
Here is a photo of a few of the children, who were really excited to get their certificates!
Year 5 have been learning how to roll their 7’s this week so that they know their times tables off by heart! Have a listen and see if you can join in!
Year 5 had the most amazing time at Harry Potter World, finding out lots of interesting facts about the books and special effects from the film. To continue our learning, we have been reading the first Harry Potter book in our classes. This has been a great way to relax at the end of our busy days!

Please log on to your Mathletics account and complete the activity that has been set for you. We have also set times tables activities to practise on Times Table Rock Stars to achieve your certificates, which are given out in celebration assembly.
Reading
You need to be reading for at least 15 minutes every day at home. This needs to be a combination of independent reading and reading to an adult. Remember to record this in your reading record, even if it is not a school reading book – it can be any form of reading, newspaper, diary, story, information text etc. Use the reading bookmark you have at home to read with.
Remember your fluency level book to read at home.
Thank you to everyone that came and supported our 24 runners on Saturday morning. It was such a fantastic sporting morning despite the rain and mud!! The children were amazing and represented Brooklands with true style and confidence. As individuals and as teams they did amazingly, with one of our Year 6 girls finishing 2nd out of around 150!!
