We had a wonderful time sharing our favourite books together today. Our classroom had a high wellbeing and was so balanced. Well done 3E! We discovered some new books with interactive flaps and wheels to turn. We particularly liked ‘Imagine’ by Norman Messenger. It made us laugh out loud together when we made some new faces! 
What a wonderful way to start the day! We had lots of parents and siblings join us in the classrooms to read with Year 1 and 2 children this morning. There was a real buzz of excitement as the children showed off their book character costumes and they loved reading books together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and well done for the huge amount of effort put into the costumes!
Today we took a trip to Waterstones bookshop so that Aydan could choose some books with his £500 prize winnings! Aydan chose 3 special friends to bring with him, and along with mum and dad’s help they chose piles and piles and books for our school! The boys were careful to choose books that would appeal to all ages, as well as books that they thought the girls might enjoy! Well done again to our wonderful Aydan!
A couple of months ago we set a whole-school homework challenge around reading and World Book Day. The task was to show what reading means to you, in the form of a poem, song, poster, or anyway you thought best! Entries were collected from around the whole country and the World Book Day team have been busy deciding on the very best entries.
We are very pleased to announce that one of our very own Brooklands Farm family has been chosen as one the winners!
Aydan Patel, in Year 4, has been selected and as his prize he will be able to choose £500 worth of books for our school!
We are so proud of Aydan and completely agree that his reading song is absolutely wonderful! We would like to thank Aydan and his family for the time and effort they have put into making the song. We can’t wait to see which books Aydan chooses!
Here is Aydan’s award winning Reading song:
