Brooklands Farm at Parliament

By 19th June 2016

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.

Charity Clinique event for staff – £120 raised!

By admin16th June 2016

Way back in March we organised a charity event for staff, in aid of Cancer Research. One of our parents, Roopa Chudasama, kindly organised for some members of the Clinique team at Debenhams to come and pamper us for an evening! It was a lovely opportunity for us to spend some time relaxing, as there’s normally no time for that in a busy place like a school! But more importantly, we were able to raise money for a charity very close to my heart. Many of our lives have been touched by cancer and we would like to thank Roopa and the Clinique team for helping us raise money for such a worthwhile cause.

NSPCC Community fundraising event

16th June 2016admin

Thank you to the families who joined in with our sports activities after school today! We had a great time challenging each other to see who could do the most keepy-uppies, or who could keep a rally going the longest. The number to beat for tennis ball bounces on a racket was 98! What a record, Anghad!

We have only raised a small amount so far, but hopefully this is the start of a much bigger amount which we can donate to such a worthwhile charity.

Watch this space for more photos of our fundraising activities which will take place this week and next. We look forward to seeing how much we can raise in total!

 

Year 2 talk about wellbeing and learning zones

By Mrs S Taylor6th June 2016

This morning we visited Holmwood & Ashbrook school to talk about wellbeing and learning zones with their teachers.

Our children spoke confidently to the teachers about why we check our wellbeing and learning zones. We showed them our wellbeing scales and explained what it meant to be on each number.

It was fantastic to hear our children talk with such passion about our school and they were true Brooklands Boys & Girls. We are looking forward to building more partnerships with other schools and sharing the Brooklands message.

Here we are talking to the teachers! We also got to have an explore of their school!

 

A Taste For Music 2016

By V Holloway26th May 2016

Brooklands Farm Primary School Choir did a FANTASTIC performance on Friday evening at Holiday Inn in CMK. They performed at ‘A Taste For Music’ concert, alongside other school and adult choirs, to raise money for Willen Hospice. It was definitely the biggest audience they have performed to with hundreds of people watching as they sang!

They performed 4 songs and performed Super Trooper from the hotel balconies along with the other singers taking part!

Every child grew their talents, opened their ears and hearts and most of all believed in themselves and each other! Miss Holloway and Mrs Odell are incredibly proud of every single one of them. Whilst there was a lot of excitement (and a late night!), they sang beautifully, shared GOTCHA smiles and were proud ambassadors for Brooklands Farm.

MKFM were supporting the event by taking photos and videos, please take a look at their website!

And it does not stop there!

Brooklands Farm Choir will be performing at the Big Lunch at Broughton Fields School on Sunday 5th June from 12.30pm. It would be lovely to see as many of you there as possible to support our choir and local community.
