Year 3 VW Trip

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 3 Greek Olympics

15th October 2014admin

Year three would like to warmly thank all of the parents who gave up their time to celebrate the Greek Olympics with them. This event marked the end of a fascinating project on the Ancient Greeks where the children investigated how the Olympic Games have changed since ancient times and also how the Greeks lived from day to day. We also wrote our own version of an exciting Greek myth. We are now gearing up for the next part of our year 3 learning journey…watch this space!

Year 3a Curriculum Tea

11th October 2014admin

Many thanks to all of our parents that came to share how we learn at Brooklands Farm.  It’s wonderful to know how involved you all are in your child’s learning and I feel privileged to be working with you in partnership to achieve this goal. The children had a great time catering for you all and we hope you enjoyed the sandwiches and cakes!

Year three get ready for the Greek Olympics!

2nd October 2014admin

Year three have been investigating the origins of the Greek Olympic games and have been discovering all about the different events and why the games came to be. Did you know that the Ancient Greek Olympics were a celebration and a chance to worship the god Zeus? We were also very surprised that the competitors didn’t wear any clothes! We are now preparing for our own version of the games where we will invite our parents to be spectators. Don’t worry, we will be fully clothed!

3a share their homework.

8th September 2014Miss G Sheriden

Class 3a spent some time on Thursday sharing their holiday homework with each other. Over the summer they were asked to research Michael Foreman and to read some of his books. Mrs Humphris and Miss Sheridan are very impressed with the standard and the effort of their work. They are very delighted with how the children have settled back into their learning zones.

Year 3 and 4 exit at the end of the day

3rd September 2014admin

Dear parents/guardians of children in year 3 and 4.

In order to ensure the children leaving the school at 3:30pm can leave the building and be collected safely, can the parents please wait to the side of the year 3/4 exit door nearest to the car park?

The year 3 children will line up closer to the door and the year 4 children will line up nearer the MUGA (multi use games arena). When the teachers can see who is collecting the children, they will send them to you.

Thank you in advance for your help
