In year 5 we are studying the Oak tree for tree week. We have started by researching the lifecycle of the Oak Tree and have created excellent diagrams to show our learning.
We will use this knowledge to create poetry and art about the Oak Tree!
This week, the children have been busy completing their assessments!
We have been incredibly proud of all of the children and think that they are definitely showing that they are strong and powerful learners.
This afternoon, the children have been busy creating their final aerodynamic car design. The learning zones have been high and the dialogue between pupils have been fantastic.
Congratulations to our three year 6’s for achieving their strong and powerful pin!
They have shown that they can manage their own emotions, be a role model to other children and take on leadership positions within our school. They are showing through their own individual personalities and qualities that they know how to contribute to Brooklands Farm Primary School and share with others the school’s vision.
We are very proud of you in 6b. A massive congratulations!
Congratulations to our new year 6 girl, who has now achieved her gold pin!
She has truly shown she has opened her mind, heart, ears and eyes to new experiences, grown her knowledge, skills and learning and believed that she can do anything when she puts her mind to it!
We are very proud of you in 6b! Well done!
Within the space of a week, we have awarded 4 Strong and Powerful badges and one gold pin. Some of these children gained their pin a few weeks ago, so thank you to those parents for making it in 🙂
It has been fantastic to be able to have the children’s families in to celebrate their achievements. All of these children have shown that they have opened, grown and believed.
The whole of 6C are very proud of you!
Keep up the good work year 6!
We absolutely loved performing at the lantern festival, we hope you enjoyed it too?
Here are a few photos!
A selection of year 5 and 6 children took part in a writers day where they were lucky enough to spend the day with the author Colin Parsons! The children participated in workshops and produced amazing WWI inspired stories. The children then read the stories aloud and impressed Colin with their efforts!
They had a brilliant day and everyone is enjoying reading Colin’s stories they have brought back to school!
Year 4 had an amazing day today at the woods, learning about deciduous and evergreen trees and being able to link traditional tales to the forest. The children were able to create stories and their imagination was inspired. We had stories ranging from a family of mice that have to take care of the trees to moles in waistcoats and glasses that have to care for the other animals.
In the afternoon, the children were challenged to find as many invertebrates as possible. This prompted several “ewwws” as children found millipedes, centipedes and the scariest of all invertebrates, the spider.
The children could not wait to get back to continue their tree week learning and were full of questions.
On Monday 8th December, we will be visiting Linford Wood as part our Tree Week project based on the book ‘Into the Forest’ by Anthony Browne. We will explore the forest and the atmosphere the different trees create, making observational drawings and sharing well known children’s stories set in the woods. In the afternoon we will consider what the forest is home to and begin a habitat study.
We will be leaving school at 9.30am and returning at 3pm. Please ensure that your child wears a coat, old clothes, and wellington boots or trainers as they may get muddy with the outdoors activities. They will also require a packed lunch in a disposable bag which can be thrown away when finished with. The school will provide a packed lunch for any children who receive free school meals.
Please ensure that your child has any medication with them that they may need. This should be named clearly – this includes inhalers.
Many thanks,
Iain Mortimer and Juliette Roberts
