Hi Everyone!
Big apologies to all the children in 3b who did not receive their homework today!
I have put it here on the website and will also give out a paper copy on Monday, therefore will expect that some children may not be able to complete it by next Thursday!
Apologies again and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Year 4 have been considering what makes a Quality Learning Environment. We were all really excited about being a part of the worlds biggest lesson looking at the Global Goals, of which Quality Learning Environment is one of them! Some children from each class visited a school which is in the process of being built. They shared their learning with us after their trip! Design ideas for how we could make our balconies into quality learning environments were discussed, votes were collected, and winning designs were made using lots of recycled materials in all shapes and sizes. We are looking forward to seeing these ideas being grown and developed next week
.
Excitement is brewing ahead of our Roman project. We are really looking forward to seeing your costumes for our ignite day.
Next week we will be looking at Sound in Science. What different sounds can you hear over the weekend?

Highlights this week include:
The beginning of Roman shield making in DT (Fen Street).
Growing our knowledge and understanding of rounding, addition and subtraction.
Developing our understanding of what makes a quality learning environment and having an impact on our own space.
Developing our vocabulary for our Michael Morpurgo character description competition.
Have a lovely weekend Year 4.

Last week we invited Artist David Bowers in to work alongside some the children, staff and members of Brooklands Farm Friends (PTA) to create mosaics for both Fen Street and Countess Way. Â The finished pieces are absolutely amazing and we cannot wait to get them mounted in place!
This wonderful project has been funded by the PTA who have been working very hard since we opened in 2010 to raise funds for the school, please continue to support them.
Our transition project this year explored the topic of ‘Inspirations and Aspirations’.
In class 3b the children produced some excellent pieces of homework, setting themselves targets at school and outside of school, as well as recognising the resilience and determination needed to reach our goals. The children thought about their aspirations for now and the future, and shared these with their class. Here are two children from 3b who produced a video for their homework on this topic!
We hope you enjoy!

This week Year 4 were lucky enough to meet Stuart Myers. Stuart was born without arms and has overcome every barrier in his life, which the children thoroughly enjoyed learning about.
Highlights included:
His amazing resilience was inspirational for all.
This session concluded our ‘inspiration and aspiration’ topic. Next week we begin our whole school project, looking at how effective our learning environments are.
We hope you have a lovely weekend!

Year 4 have settled back into the Brooklands Family well. This week, we have kicked off the first Talk4Writing sequence with a special visit from Michael Morpurgo’s ‘The Dancing Bear’. The children will be working on their own animal character descriptions over the next few weeks. In maths, we have started looking at place value, negative numbers and sequencing. We are now all ready to read the temperature in December!
We started to discuss the skills we need to become a good or outstanding artist, geographer, or scientist and will continue to look at what skills we would need for other subjects over the next week.
The children have a mixture of maths and spellings to complete for their homework. This is due in on Wednesday.
We are looking forward to seeing the children complete their transition target cards so that they can get stuck into their new Year 4 Achieve target cards. A great week – well done Year 4.
