World Book DayWoBoD: The World Book Day Award

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!

Here is Aydan’s award winning Reading song:

Den Making!

By Mrs S Taylor23rd February 2016

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!!

Year 5 and 6 parent workshops

By 11th February 2016

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.

GOSH we love a bake sale!

By Mrs J Gowen10th February 2016

On Thursday 28th January we held a bake sale at both Countess Way and Fen Street, an event we helped Valisha in Year 6 organise to raise money for The Vasant Devchandra Sharma Brighter Future Fund in aid of Great Ormand Street Hospital Children’s Charity to help support children suffering from cancer.

This event, combined with our Christmas jumper days, has helped Valisha raise a total of £587.18!  Thank you ever so much for your support of this wonderful cause.  Well done Valisha and well done to our Year 6’s for helping on the day, you were amazing!!!
