This is your life Philip Pullman

12th September 2014Mrs c Hern

Year 6 have wowed us with their video editing skills this week.

We have been learning about the inspirational author, Philip Pullman. To start with the children wrote biographies about his life and achievements. They then created a movie in the style of ‘This is your life’, using their biographies as a voice over. The children shared their learning with each other and gave some constructive feedback.
Everyone enjoyed sharing their video’s with Year 3 this afternoon.

Great learning Year 6!





Super Learning in Year 1!

12th September 2014

This week in Year 1, we have been writing sentences. It was a bit tricky to remember capital letters, finger spaces AND full stops! It was also a bit tricky to grow our learning when we had already worked so hard at the first attempt.

This is Harley, he showed great determination and really had to believe in himself to be able to grow his sentence so he remembered to use finger spaces. Look how proud he was when he finished!

3a share their homework.

Class 3a spent some time on Thursday sharing their holiday homework with each other. Over the summer they were asked to research Michael Foreman and to read some of his books. Mrs Humphris and Miss Sheridan are very impressed with the standard and the effort of their work. They are very delighted with how the children have settled back into their learning zones.

Homework award!

Year 1c have had a great start!

We enjoyed sharing our amazing home learning projects as a class. We are going to transform the Year 1 reading area into a Julia Donaldson book corner using all the puppets, posters and books made by the children during the summer.

We have started our learning about Julia Donaldson in school by reading the story What the Ladybird Heard.

Here are a few of the home learning projects we have shared so far…

An Icy Trip Back In Time

5th September 2014V Holloway

Today year 5 went back in time to discover the Ice Age when they ignited their Frozen Planet Project with a trip to the Natural History Museum to see the Mammoth Exhibition!

We had a fantastic time learning about how Mammoths survived during the Ice Age and we were lucky enough to see the best preserved Mammoth in the world! We collected lots of facts about the Ice Age and the animals that lived during it to use in our Frozen Planet Project this half term.

Thank you to all the adults who helped us on this trip.

Every child was a star and were excellent ambassadors for Brooklands Farm! Well done year 5!
