Year 6 are loving tree week!
After an RE day yesterday looking at the Bodhi tree, today year 6’s are being scientists!
At the moment they are observing the effects of and links between temperature and the rate in which a plant grows.
Later they will be looking at exceptions to the rule- how certain plants have adapted and changed to suit their environments linking back specifically to the Bodhi Tree!
This will all come together for our end product of our tree week display!
This morning, year 6 have been busy using reliable resources to find out where the bodhi tree originated from and other countries in the world where it grows.
The children have been using an atlas to find the grid reference for these countries.
The learning zones and buzz in the classroom has been amazing!
This week, the children have been busy completing their assessments!
We have been incredibly proud of all of the children and think that they are definitely showing that they are strong and powerful learners.
This afternoon, the children have been busy creating their final aerodynamic car design. The learning zones have been high and the dialogue between pupils have been fantastic.
Congratulations to our three year 6’s for achieving their strong and powerful pin!
They have shown that they can manage their own emotions, be a role model to other children and take on leadership positions within our school. They are showing through their own individual personalities and qualities that they know how to contribute to Brooklands Farm Primary School and share with others the school’s vision.
We are very proud of you in 6b. A massive congratulations!
Congratulations to our new year 6 girl, who has now achieved her gold pin!
She has truly shown she has opened her mind, heart, ears and eyes to new experiences, grown her knowledge, skills and learning and believed that she can do anything when she puts her mind to it!
We are very proud of you in 6b! Well done!
6b had a break from VW week to join the Real Science event at the Milton Keynes Discovery Centre.
We started the day by learning about the dangerous dust Asbestos. We learnt that while it can be highly dangerous it can also be used to sound proof, add strength to or control the heat of buildings.
Carrying on from yesterday’s exciting Volkswagen launch, this morning the children came in bright and early ready to ask the parents of Brooklands Farm about their needs in a car.
In the pouring rain, year 6 were polite and approached parents as they came into school. They asked them questions from a questionnaire they had devised yesterday afternoon about including questions about what type of car they drive, what is important to them in car and what colours they like.
After this session, Year 6 came back into school and are currently sitting in their groups going though the data looking at what the needs and wants of the parents are!
Well done to our new Brooklands boy, who has earned his Open, Grow, Believe gold pin!
You have clearly shown that you know how to open your heart, ears, eyes and mind: grow your learning, talents, skills and relationships: and believe in yourself and others!
Thank you for his parents for coming and joining us to celebrate his achievement.
We are very proud of you in 6b! Well done!
Year 6 had a great Internet Safety session on Monday with our visitors from Hazard Alley. We learnt about the risks that are involved with using the internet, how to identify these risks and how to protect ourselves.
Take a look at our pictures.
Year 6 have had a great time in gymnastics today swinging around on some of the apparatus!
Here are our photos:
