Congratulations also to Freddie Haywood for earning his Calm Pin on Friday! we are proud of how you have become a role model for year 2 and how you have taken on problems and challenges in year 2 and shown some super belief in yourself! Well done young man!

Handwriting success in Year 1 and 2!

16th November 2016admin
Year 1 and 2 are working really hard on their handwriting.
In Year 2, we have introduced the terms ‘ascenders’ and ‘descenders’ to help them position their letters correctly on the handwriting lines.
In both Year 1 and Year 2, the children are familiar with the story of brave monkey and scared monkey to help them understand which letters start at the top pink link (brave monkey’s branch) and which letters start at the top grey line (scared monkey’s branch).
Please visit http://kineticletters.co.uk/ to learn more about the Kinetic letters programme, or speak to your child’s class teacher.

We are really grateful that Nassim and Kaamya have joined our team and achieved their Open, Grow and Believe pins and have definitely shown what it means to be a Brooklands Boy and a Brooklands Girl! We were happy that your families could join to celebrate with us as we build a relationship together! Now we believe in you to get your Calm pins very soon too!

Esio Trot writing hats

By admin12th September 2016

Year 2 have been getting ready to write with enthusiasm and use all of our knowledge. We have created some writing hats to help us get into the mindset for writing as we focus on Roald Dahl and Esio Trot. These will help us remember what to put into our writing.

What a fantastic start to year 2 made by all year 2 on Countess Way! 2D has settled in so well to the class routines and has even begun year 2 learning which is amazing.

We have been focusing on Roald Dahl as a significant author and have combined our knowledge of George’s Marvellous Medicine and capacity to design our very own marvellous medicine. The children have worked calmly to produce their medicines, ensure we had no spillages, worked accurately to read their scales and they used their incredible imagination to think up an incredible concoction.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful summer and look forward to hearing all about it in September! Thank you for working so hard these last few weeks.
