We are very proud to finally release own Open, Grow, Believe song! The song is written by the talented Mr Gray and performed by the teachers and children at Countess Way. We love it!
Today 5A were shocked to find their classroom turned upside down. Our iPads, medals and target cards have gone missing and the children were very engaged in discussing who they thought may have done this. This led on to some great prove it writing, where we wrote our own newspaper reports on the incident.
Year 2 have been very busy getting messy and creative this week. In art lessons we have been constructing a 6 foot lighthouse for our shared area with the help of Miss Broome.
We have also been busy making cakes, flapjacks and sandwiches ready for Transition Tea.
As you can see, teachers have been busy this morning putting the finishing touches to the Year 3’s new rainforest learning environment! The children’s reactions were priceless – with my favourite quote being ‘I’ve never seen a classroom like this before!!’ See the speech bubble below for further quotes from the children.
The Year 3’s have pointed out that the Rainforest needs more flowers and animals so they will be continuing to create these this morning!
Welcome to our first video diary! Stand by for further updates on our current topic – The Romans!

Today, all of Year 3 have been busy creating a rainforest environment in their classroom. I’ve seen every single child in learning zone 5, displaying amazing creativity and team work! After school, the teachers have been busy putting all of the children’s creations together and the classrooms are already looking wonderful! Watch this space for more photos next week!
These Year 6 children explain three very important words – Stop, Think, Be responsible! Watch this video to find out how we use these words at Brooklands Farm.
At Brooklands Farm, we use restorative practices to equip all children with lifelong problem solving skills. In this video, these children demonstrate how restorative practices can be used to solve playground disagreements. This scenario was made up by the children in the video. They each decided which role they would like to play and I’m sure you’ll agree they do a fantastic job of making it look like real life!
Year 5 have started our new Titanic project and we had a fascinating ignite to start us off.
We were able to meet John who brought in some amazing memorabilia and artefacts from the ship. He provided us with a huge amount of brilliant information to use in our project work.
We then got to experience life on board the ship with music from the 1910’s. We also got to dress in third and first class clothing and make different stews depending on what class we were in, which I think everyone enjoyed!
I hope you all had a great day and are excited to continue our learning journey sailing on the Titanic!

Year 2 had a fantastic day playing in the sandpit and eating ice cream! We made lots of sandcastles and dug some very big holes!
