Thank you for all your hard work and being a balanced role model!
Well done. 
Well done to our first recipient of his Open, Grow, Believe Pin. What a fantastic learner you are!
Well done Year 3! Today’s Ancient Greek ignite day was a huge success. Many thanks to Craig from History Off The Page for coming in to help us experience some aspects of Greek life!
It was a very proud day at Countess Way on Thursday the 6th of October as four teams came to play in a football tournament organised by Mr Spence. It was history in the making for more than one reason as for the first time the grass field at Countess Way was being used for a sporting event. Secondly it was the first time that Countess Way had ever had a team in a competition. Although the results didn’t go the way of the home side, it was a momentous occasion and even more so in the last match. It was the big ‘derby’ when the clash of Countess Way v Fen Street came together.
We are incredibly proud of the year 3 and 4 children who played with an open mindset to something new, who grew their understanding of what it means to play in a team together and they had to have plenty of belief in themselves and their team-mates to believe they could achieve!

Well done!
At Brooklands Farm we believe that learning isn’t just about sitting at a desk. We believe that children learn in different ways and in different places. So as a team, partnered with the children, we have set about creating a learning environment where children can thrive.
Here are the children busy at work. The finalised learning spaces will be unveiled next week!
We had the privelege of having Stuart Myers in to talk to Year 3, 4 and 5 this week.
Stuart was born with no arms but this has not stopped him living a normal life. The children heard how he is married with children, he dresses himself and he can even drive!
Stuart’s message was a fantastic link to our Inspiration and Aspiration project, in that if you give things a go and believe in yourself then you will achieve.
This week the Junior school had a special visitor, Stuart Myers. He is a very inspirational man, born without arms, who showed us that it is ok to have weaknesses. Stuart shared his amazing story with us, showed how he has found ways to be completely independent and how he can do everything anyone else can do…even fly a plane!
Here are the team who will be working with your children this year. We’re really looking forward to seeing them grow as successful, balanced learners.
Mr. Plowright – Student Teacher (Mon-Wed)
Mr Gray – Class Teacher
Miss. Marriott – Head of Year 3 (based at Fen Street)
Welcome back year 3. I’ve been so impressed with the learning zones today and I’m looking forward to working with all of you this year! Keep up the good work.
Mr. Gray
