28th October 2014admin

Well, what a day! Year 3 have had an amazing trip to VW Training Centre where they got to see some amazing cars, such as an Audi R8, a Hulk car from the Fast and Furious Toyko Drift, An XL1 worth £80,000-£100,000, the E-Up electric car and even a bullet resistant car worth £400,000, Wow! The children asked great questions and received some great answers. They were keen to gather as much information inside the garage as possible. They even got the opportunity to have first hand training on the E-Up electric car inside one of the training centres conference room.The VW staff commented on the good behaviour and outstanding knowledge of the year 3 team and we couldn’t be more proud of their efforts and successes today!

Year 4 half term spelling homework

24th October 2014admin

Hi Year 4,

The year 4 spelling homework is below. It may be a puzzler but we believe that you can do it. You are becoming masters in the classroom at learning independently, especially if you have the tools of the internet, a dictionary and a thesaurus.

Derivations may seem tricky, it just means that it comes from the root word.

e.g. Tricycle derives from tri

Some of you have been doing amazingly well with your spellings, particularly those that have been practicing.

Sparks of Excitement In Year 3!

23rd October 2014admin

Wow! What an amazing few days the children have had. We are sure you have heard all about it!

On Monday, 13 different VW cars were parked on the playground. Year 3 had the chance to not only look at the cars, but to get inside them AND even sound the horn….. you can imagine the headaches at the end of the day!  The children absolutely loved it and are sure to have a brand new Audi convertible on their wish list! 🙂

On Tuesday the children were visited by The AA which included vans, a motorbike, a flatbed lorry and of course more horn beeping! Despite the wind and rain, the children had constant smiles on their faces and were excited to explore some of the roles within The AA.

Class 2b Visit the SEAT garage

22nd October 2014admin
Class 2b were lucky to visit the SEAT garage on Monday where they learnt how to sell a car. The staff in the SEAT garage were kind enough to show the children around the showroom, giving us tips on how to be the best salesperson. We learnt that you start by doing a ‘Meet and Greet’ with a customer. Then you find out what type of car they want. The fastest selling SEAT is a Leon Cupra!

VW week begins

22nd October 2014admin

What an amazing start to the week the year 4 children have had. They finally found out that their project for this week is about solving logistical problems and then had the opportunity to see cars from the VW brand on Monday.

 

Then on a busy Tuesday, the children had the opportunity to ask people from the VW breakdown assistance group and The AA some questions about how to solve the baffling breakdown system. This also included the chance to get to see 6 different types of breakdown vehicle. The children were full of ‘superb questions’ and ‘were some of the most polite children that The AA men had worked with’.

We can’t wait in year 4 to be able to set up our own control centre and begin co-ordinating our own Brooklands Breakdown service.
