Today was Living History day! We learnt about the Celts: how difficult daily life was, how tricky making butter and flour is, Celtic art, medicines and weaponry!
Year 2 were thrilled to be involved in a fund raising activity this afternoon. Following an assembly by NSPCC representatives, the children took part in half an hours worth of different physical activities, including skipping, dribbling a football, running and more!
Our thanks go out to all friends and family members who have kindly sponsored the children and helped to raise money for this fantastic charity. If you haven’t done so already, please return your forms and sponsor money so we can count all your money and announce the grand total of money raised!
Year 6 have had an exciting first day! After a drizzly journey, the sun came out for our visit to Brownsea Island. We had a tour of the New Barn Centre, ate a delicious dinner and watched the football! Now we are tucked up in bed after a final hot chocolate and biscuit.
What will tomorrow bring?
A HUGE well done to all the children and families at Countess Way who ran on Friday for our NSPCC Fundraiser. The day was a massive success and I am so proud of the children’s resilience and belief in one another as they ran!
We have had a fantastic amount of sponsorship money in as well so thank you parents for all your support in organising this. Your children truly worked hard for every penny of that sponsorship!
I am delighted to announce that as a school we ran not one marathon… but 9!!! What an amazing achievement! Below are the ‘stats’ of what we ran so please celebrate these superb results with your families at home. There are a couple of Year3/4 who will be running this week due to being on a school trip so we will add their laps in too.
Thank you again for all your support for this event. More action pictures will be uploaded by class teachers!
Year 6 have arrived safely – they have already seen a red squirrel on Brownsea Island which they have found exciting!
Our art is being displayed at the National Gallery.
We went to visit the display. The children were very excited and proud to see their hard work on display. Well done Brooklands Farm!
A selection of our school leaders had an opportunity to go to London to visit the Houses of Parliament.
We had a tour around the house of commons and lords. We then had a workshop with another school about how we can get our voice heard.
After the visit to Parliament we walked along Whitehall to see 10 Downing street, the cenotaph and horse guards parade.
We went to the National Gallery to see Brooklands Farm’s art on display!
Then as a special surprise we saw the cast of The Phantom of the Opera rehearse on stage for their West End Live performance.
