Year 5 Countess Way Residential Information

By Miss Rebecca Snowdon20th June 2017

Year 5 Countess Way Parents and Carers,

There have been some queries recently into the details and arrangements of the Year 5 residential trip to Caldecotte.

I have checked and can confirm that all the information provided by the school can be accessed on the website:

Parents > Year 5 & 6 Residential Trip Information

On this page you will find the PowerPoint presentation that was used for the parent information evening earlier in the school year. This has all the information you need to know, including what to bring.  On the page, you can also find the consent forms.

If you have any further queries that can not be answered by the information on the website, do please ask me.

Be reminded that medical forms need to be sent in as soon as possible, as does any outstanding payment for the trip.

Regards

Rebecca Snowdon, Year 5 Class teacher

Science Investigation

By l hearn8th June 2017

In 2B, we planned an investigation to explore the 3 primary colours and how they combine to form other colours. We took 5 beakers and filled up the 1st, 3rd and 5th beaker with a solution of the 3 primary colours. Inserted folded up paper towels linking all 5 beakers for the fluid to transfer into the empty beakers. This resulted in the primary colours combining to form new colours in the empty beakers.

The aim was to focus on making observations and discussing what may happen (predictions).

We recorded the findings in the form of pictures, video discussions and in our books in the form of diagrams.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working scientifically and were fully immersed into the lessons.

Mathletics!

By l hearn7th June 2017

 

All children in Year 1 – Year 6 have access to a learning website called ‘Mathletics’. Many children are already using this website both in and outside of school to consolidate the learning they do in the classroom. The children particularly enjoy ‘Live Mathletics’, where they can compete against their friends and improve their recall of number facts such as times tables.

Today Mathletics is updating its website so that it is more ‘user friendly’. Please encourage your child/children to log on to Mathletics and explore the new layout. If they get more than 1000 points in a week, they will even receive a certificate! In the past month, 200 certificates have been achieved by Brooklands Farm children! Let’s see if there can be even more this month!

If you have any queries about using Mathletics, please ask your child’s class teacher.

Good luck!

Year 3 and 4 tennis competition

We just want to say a huge well done to the Year 3 and 4 children who took part in the inter schools tennis competition on Thursday. They all did amazingly well and had a fantastic time playing against the other schools. We would also like to praise them on their sportsmanship!

Here is a picture from the day!

100% attendance

By Jenny Mitchell7th May 2017

Well done to all the children in F2C last week for 100% full attendance! We finally did it! Let’s hope we do the same next week.

We had lots of fun learning about addition outdoors this week, writing our number sentences in chalk on the ground.
