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.
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!
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!
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.
Have a look at the photos from the Year 6 trip to Bletchley Park today. We did an ‘Interception to Intelligence’ workshop and even had a guided tour! We can’t wait to use all of our new knowledge in our learning this week.
It was fantastic to have such a brilliant turn out from a range of practitioners in our local area. We had a fantastic discussion on writing in the foundation stage, specifically boys writing and looked at a range of activities to support their development.
