Music Celebration at Countess Way

By admin20th July 2017

On Wednesday evening, Countess Way was host to a celebration of the talents that we have at Brooklands Farm.

Those children that had been receiving specific instrument tuition from our external providers this year had been invited to show off what they had learnt in front of a packed out hall. There was some beautiful and thoughtful pieces played by all the children with some playing violin, guitar, flute and clarinet. Some children had to be brave and had to play solo pieces and others had to work as a team and be experts with timing when playing in a group.

Well done to all who performed, to their teachers who have helped them grow their talents and a huge thank you to parents who pay for these opportunities and have to listen to our practice sessions.

Lantern Making workshops Success

By 7th December 2016

Over the last few days Fen Street and Countess Way have been buzzing with the annual parent and child lantern making workshops. This year has been the busiest yet, hosting two workshops a day on each site.

We have had a lot of creative fun making these colourful lanterns which, for the first time, are going home to bring the Brooklands sparkle to our children’s homes. This is the first step in the journey of the lantern festival being completely at the heart of our community.

Please, Please, Please make sure these beautiful creations are shining bight for all to see in windows, porches, balconies, gardens around Brooklands,  on the 15th at 6pm…

Miss Low will be going out into the community searching for those shining lights of Brooklands at that time and will be filming what she finds!

If you would like to take photos of your work in place with in your homes please send to office@brooklandsfarm.milton-keynes.sch.uk

Huge thanks to all involved!
