At Brooklands Farm, we use restorative practices to equip all children with lifelong problem solving skills. In this video, these children demonstrate how restorative practices can be used to solve playground disagreements. This scenario was made up by the children in the video. They each decided which role they would like to play and I’m sure you’ll agree they do a fantastic job of making it look like real life!
Mr Gray has given Brooklands Farm Primary School the best gift in the world….
Whilst we have all been busy learning in our classrooms, Mr Gray has been busy composing and playing the piano. The result is our very own School song!
Last Friday Mr Gray and Miss Tate spent a day with Mr Brewer our visiting music producer. We had lots of fun recording the children’s vocals even the teachers wanted to have a go! We can’t wait for you to hear it at curriculum tea!
Song coming soon!
Miss Tate
We’ve had a great week working with children, parents and grandparents in our Take One Picture art workshops and have been blown away by the quality of work being created and the teamwork and discussions had between families. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has come along.
Tomorrow morning is our final workshop at Fen Street with Year 1 and Year 5. If anyone has sent a reply slip to school but not specified a slot or has contacted the school over the past few days about the workshop tomorrow, we have spaces in our 10 – 11 and 11 – 12 slots so please come and join us at these times!
Next week, the art workshops will be held in Countess Way on Tuesday morning.
Many classes have been experiencing ‘Bubbleology’ as part of our Big Questions in Science.
As teachers we’ve seen incredibly high learning zones and wellbeing because we are providing lifelong learning experiences for the children.
Today, Mr Williams and I visited Pall Mall, in London, to accept a special award called the ‘Inclusion Quality Mark’. Not only did we meet the criteria for the IQM, we have been identified as a ‘Centre of Excellence’ for inclusion.
We are delighted that our commitment to providing an inclusive education for all pupils has been recognised by such a prestigious organisation. Mr Williams and I felt very proud to hear all the wonderful things that were said about Brooklands Farm during the ceremony and we are looking forward to supporting other schools to achieve their IQM in the future.
Thank you very much to the Morley-Smith family for this beautiful gift.
It’s a perfect start to us opening new relationships and extending our Brooklands Farm family at the Countess Way campus.
