Collaborating with Kandy!

By l hearn26th June 2018

This week we (Miss Hearn and Miss White) have been given an incredible opportunity by the British Council to go to Sri Lanka and collaborate with one of the schools there. So far, we have been educating them on the importance of recycling in order to reduce waste and achieve one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We have created a very positive partnership with the school, which we will maintain when we return to England so that Brooklands Farm can do some collaborative learning with schools around the world to reduce waste!

In the evenings, the teachers have been kind enough to taken us on a tour of the city to understand their culture. We have tried lots of Sri Lankan food and have seen lots of different animals, including monkeys, lizards and elephants!

We will have to tell you all about it when we are back!

Welcome to Brooklands Farm Primary School

5th October 2014Mrs c Hern
Welcome to Brooklands Farm Primary School.
….
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you at our new and expanding school. The first building on the block of the Brooklands community development serving Broughton Gate and Brooklands.
…
Our school building is predominantly glass emphasising our ambition to be connected to the world around us.  We believe in transparency and accountability and again the ability to look inside our school from every direction emphasises our leadership ambition for excellence.  Our school believes in ‘anytime’, ‘anywhere’ ‘everyone’ learning, we have created spaces to learn in our school that recognises learning in groups, as an individual or within a whole class setting.
…
As we begin our learning journey we have no idea who will come to learn with us!!  This is extremely exciting and we will leave space to accommodate and weave in all talents and skills.  For this reason our vision statement is – Weaving a Learning Journey.
We believe we will achieve excellence during that learning journey if we –
…
OPEN – hearts, minds, eyes, ears and dialogue.
GROW – talents, mindsets, skills, knowledge, relationships.
BELIEVE – I can…., we can ………….. and you can…………..
…
We are all leaders of learning on this journey and please come and join us to share your learning as we will only have a great school if we all run in the same direction.
…

Year 6 Day 3/4 Countess Way Residential

1st October 2021Mrs E Allen

We have had an amazing last couple of days filled with new and exciting activities.

We have done so many activities and we have laughed and made some incredible memories during our stay at The Frontier Centre.

We’ll be on our way home soon after our last activites and lunch.  The children are all looking forward to a good night’s sleep (although they may not admit it!)

There’s been quite alot of mud so we are hoping your washing machines are at the ready!

Year 6 Day 2 Countess Way Residential

Another fun packed day!

Some of us got wet and muddy in the bog whilst practicing our skills of giving instructions and testing our trust.  More groups visited the high ropes and conquered the zip wire.

We have enjoyed lots of delicious food, including roast dinner this evening.

Year 6 Day 1 Countess Way Residential

28th September 2021Mrs E Allen

Another amazing first day on residential.

The children have had the time of their lives – they’ve climbed, tried archery, abseiled and conquered the leap of faith!

They are already finding the confidence to overcome intital fears and we couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of them.

 

The bed making skills are coming along nicely!

Year 6 Fen Street Residential – Day 3

24th September 2021Mrs E Allen

The children have had another busy day!

We had lots of lovely sunshine and all the children embraced every challenge that they have been faced with.  The water activities were amazing and we even had a spot of swimming.  Some of the activities today were a little muddy too so we hope your washing machines are braced for the children’s return home!

The day has been filled with fun and laughter.

 

Year 6 – Fen Street Residential Day 2

23rd September 2021Mrs E Allen

Day two was full on!

We spent a lot of time up high and some groups enjoyed whizzing down the zipline. All the children have tested their trust in each other and pushed themselves to overcome their fears.
The sun shone all day and the laughter flowed!

Year 6 – Fen Street Residential Day 1

22nd September 2021Mrs E Allen

Wow what a fabulous day!

We all enjoyed the assault course at Stanwick Lakes followed by a picnic lunch.

The first days activities brought challenges of height and some children learned to ride a bike.  After a delicious dinner we all walked in the dark with our torches and even saw rabbits at dusk.

Everyone slept well and we are up and breakfasted ready for more activities and challenges today!
