Today Year 3 at Countess Way put all of their learning and clay making skills together to produce some beautiful Greek works of art. Using all of the knowledge they have learnt they planned and made their clay Greek inspired artworks.
Well done to the proud attendees of last week’s Golden tea party!
I wonder who will attend this week – good luck everyone!!
Year 1 and 2 are working really hard on their handwriting.
In Year 2, we have introduced the terms ‘ascenders’ and ‘descenders’ to help them position their letters correctly on the handwriting lines.
In both Year 1 and Year 2, the children are familiar with the story of brave monkey and scared monkey to help them understand which letters start at the top pink link (brave monkey’s branch) and which letters start at the top grey line (scared monkey’s branch).
Please visit http://kineticletters.co.uk/ to learn more about the Kinetic letters programme, or speak to your child’s class teacher.
Use this guide to help your child form their letters correctly at home:
The year 2 home learning has changed this half term. Here is a link to the letter explaining the changes and also the different spellings that have been sent home.
Have a lovely weekend!

In the last week of term 3b were very proud to celebrate the first child in year 3 to achieve their Balance pin!
This member of 3b has truly shown the values we believe make us achieve our best in year 3 already and we are very proud of him and all of his hard work this half term! He is a true role model! Well done!
Accelerated Reader have been back in touch!
Many of you will have seen Miss Sheridan’s video blog back in July. She talked about the ways in which we have used Accelerated Reader at Brooklands Farm. This time, they came back to find out how we use theory and evidence-based research to ensure we provide the very best education for all children. They loved the way we use assessments to help children understand the progress they have made and how we create dialogue with children,providing them with opportunities to set their own next steps and goals.
