We’ve started the Million Minutes reading challenge with a BANG! For the next 7 days, the children need to be racking up as many minutes reading as they can. This will be totalled up each day and added to the leader board. We’re competing against schools in MK and Northampton and at one point today, we were top of the leader board! Let’s keep it up!
A HUGE well done to all the children and families at Countess Way who ran on Friday for our NSPCC Fundraiser. The day was a massive success and I am so proud of the children’s resilience and belief in one another as they ran!
We have had a fantastic amount of sponsorship money in as well so thank you parents for all your support in organising this. Your children truly worked hard for every penny of that sponsorship!
I am delighted to announce that as a school we ran not one marathon… but 9!!! What an amazing achievement! Below are the ‘stats’ of what we ran so please celebrate these superb results with your families at home. There are a couple of Year3/4 who will be running this week due to being on a school trip so we will add their laps in too.
Thank you again for all your support for this event. More action pictures will be uploaded by class teachers!
What a fantastic day we had on Thursday, where we exploed the lego computing resources and learnt loads about friction, speed and aerodynamics!

Today we were lucky enough to welcome the Two Mile Ash teacher training cohort to Brooklands Farm. The focus was on how we create immersive environments through our projects. Their task was to design a classroom that incorporated that immersive environment and the year 3 and 4 children were then set to grill them with questions!
Today’s science lesson was child initiated where the class were asked to find different ways to sort a variety of rocks and soils. They showed great learning zones and used fantastic scientific language when they sorted by roughness, hardness and ‘shinyness’!
Last week we had a lot of fun at the bike-a-thon raising money for Sport Relief!
Here we are enjoying the event:
I’ve enjoyed my first day back after my 2 weeks paternity leave. Here is a photo of my son Ezekiel who is the latest member of the Brooklands family!
It was a pleasure to give out two pins this morning to these superb learners! You truly deserve these and it has been lovely to see you both grow as individuals in our class.
We are now off to start our learning in our PJs!!
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 3 and 4 were lucky enough to visit the Caldecotte Xperience to ignite their new project ‘Extreme Survival’. They took part in bushcraft, archery and orienteering: skills people might need in extreme environments. Well done to all the children, they had a fantastic time and were brilliantly behaved.
