6a are having a fantastic afternoon!  For the ‘collect’ stage of our new project ‘The Vikings’, we have generated questions about things we would like to find out or learn more about.  Now, we are using our reading corner and the iPads to carry out our own research to find the answers to these questions!
A couple of months ago we set a whole-school homework challenge around reading and World Book Day. The task was to show what reading means to you, in the form of a poem, song, poster, or anyway you thought best! Entries were collected from around the whole country and the World Book Day team have been busy deciding on the very best entries.
We are very pleased to announce that one of our very own Brooklands Farm family has been chosen as one the winners!
Aydan Patel, in Year 4, has been selected and as his prize he will be able to choose £500 worth of books for our school!
We are so proud of Aydan and completely agree that his reading song is absolutely wonderful! We would like to thank Aydan and his family for the time and effort they have put into making the song. We can’t wait to see which books Aydan chooses!
Year 3 and 4 have had a fantastic afternoon den building as part of their ultimate survival project. We are creating a den for the shared space which all the children can use. It is looking great and coming together really quickly! Make sure you look out for it next time you are walking past… you can’t miss it!!
Mrs Collard made the most delicious chilli for us at Countess Way today! It was a lovely way for all the staff to get together, enjoy some tasty food and celebrate another successful half term! Thank you Mrs Collard!
Thank you to all the parents who attended our Year 5 and 6 workshops tonight. We know it was a lot of information to take in all at once but hopefully you have improved your understanding of how we teach Maths, Reading, Writing, Spellings and times tables in school and have some more ideas of how you can help in some of these areas at home.
Powerpoints, resources and handouts will be posted on the website soon.
