Literacy
In literacy we have been looking at newspaper articles. We have shown you our new imitate text and would like you to understand where the key skills of year 6 are shown within the text. Can you identify each skill from your ladder in the text and highlight using colours or label with a pencil. This will help you to understand how to use the skills within this text type.
Have a lovely weekend

Here is the link to the article we would like the children to look at:
Each child was given their own paper copy of their personal ladder.
We are so incredibly proud of two of our new family members! 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!
A very special child has achieved his Open, Grow, Believe pin! We are very proud of you! Well done!
Congratulations to our latest recipients of Individual and Open, Grow, Believe pins! It was lovely to celebrate with your families and we are very proud that you are in our team.
In the last week of term 3b were very proud to celebrate the first child in year 3 to achieve their Balance pin!
This member of 3b has truly shown the values we believe make us achieve our best in year 3 already and we are very proud of him and all of his hard work this half term! He is a true role model! Well done!
Accelerated Reader have been back in touch!
Many of you will have seen Miss Sheridan’s video blog back in July. She talked about the ways in which we have used Accelerated Reader at Brooklands Farm. This time, they came back to find out how we use theory and evidence-based research to ensure we provide the very best education for all children. They loved the way we use assessments to help children understand the progress they have made and how we create dialogue with children,providing them with opportunities to set their own next steps and goals.

5C have achieved 100% attendance for the third time this half term! I am extremely proud of all the children.
We have had a brilliant start to Year 5, the children have worked so hard and I am really starting to see some ‘individual’ learners.
Have a great half term!
Stay safe and enjoy!
Miss Downey
