Being Brooklands Boys and Girls

By Mrs S Taylor11th January 2016

In assembly today Mrs Higginbottom talked to us about what it meant to be Brooklands boys and girls. We thought about the qualities we need to have to be part of the Brooklands team and what we would need to do to Open, Grow and Believe.

Some of the words we came up with were:

Learning zone 4 or 5

High well being

Reciprocal relationships

Gotcha smiles

Open dialogues

Growing our relationships

Good eye contact

Believing in ourselves, others and our team

If you get a chance to, maybe your children could talk to you about what they have done at school today to Open, Grow & Believe.

A big thank you!

A huge thank you to all the parents that helped out at Countess Way today making lanterns. It was fantastic to see everyone working in partnership together and the children loved having you in their classrooms helping out. The lanterns are looking fantastic! We are looking forward to seeing you at the lantern festival tomorrow!

A trip to Fen Street

By V Holloway19th November 2015

Yesterday the whole of Brooklands Farm Countess Way went to visit the rest of our Brooklands family at Fen Street to practise our Lantern Festival! All the staff were amazed and proud of every single child’s determination, resilience and enthusiasm as they walked between the two sites. It was also lovely to see the year 3’s and 4’s be such caring, considerate and thoughtful role models to the younger children.

The lantern festival rehearsal was very exciting and we can’t wait to share all our lanterns, songs and dances with you on Friday!

Thank you so much for all the parents that donated and bought cakes at our bake sale this year and especially all of the staff that helped run the sale. It was a fantastic success and we can’t wait to hear the grand total of the money that was raised!

Welcome Back

By Mrs S Taylor2nd November 2015

We have had a superb day back at Countess Way after half term. Our assembly with Mrs Higginbottom gave us a chance to remember the skills we develop in each year group and we have settled quickly back into being friendly, determined, calm, balanced and achieving Brooklands’ children.

I can’t wait to see what new learning this term brings! Here are some of the high learning zones I spotted this morning:

Staying Active!

By Mrs S Taylor22nd October 2015

As I walked past the hall today I spotted some amazing PE skills from Year 2.

They were practising jumping and landing safely and then went on to adding half turns to their jumps! It was great to see them enjoying PE so much with Mr Goodman and I managed to snap a few action shots on the way!
