An Icy Trip Back In Time

5th September 2014V Holloway

Today year 5 went back in time to discover the Ice Age when they ignited their Frozen Planet Project with a trip to the Natural History Museum to see the Mammoth Exhibition!

We had a fantastic time learning about how Mammoths survived during the Ice Age and we were lucky enough to see the best preserved Mammoth in the world! We collected lots of facts about the Ice Age and the animals that lived during it to use in our Frozen Planet Project this half term.

Thank you to all the adults who helped us on this trip.

Every child was a star and were excellent ambassadors for Brooklands Farm! Well done year 5!

A year of sporting success!- Message from Mr Draycott

7th July 2014Mr J Peters

We have had a great start in year 5!

Last week we made our class rules and created a ‘learners promise’ together! We also created our protective hands which are displayed in the classrooms.

In our classes we discussed the expectations of Year 5 learners and what it means to be individual. The children now have a clear understanding and are well on there way to earning their ‘individual’ badges.

We have started learning our upper key stage 2 songs ‘Gold’ and ‘Roar’ which the children are enjoying.

This week we are starting to write our own poems about The Journey of Brooklands Farm and have started their hand based art project.
