Santa Visit FS/KS1 2024
Friday 13 December
We had a very special visitor at school, the one and only Father Christmas! We heard the jingle of his bells and then shared a fabulous story called T'was the Night After Christmas. He took lots of time out of his VERY busy schedule to spend some time with all of the children in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, delivering presents and checking the children of Brook Acre were on the nice list. It sounds like all of his elves are going to have a busy couple of weeks in the workshop! Key Stage 2 felt some of the Christmas magic too, with a special delivery. The children were all kind, respectful and well-mannered making sure our visitor enjoyed his visit at our school.
Polar Express Day 2024
Tuesday 10 December
What a gorgeous day we had on Tuesday when we came to school in our pyjamas for the Polar Express Experience! We were greeted at school by the train conductors who stamped our golden tickets. Then we did some christmas themed arts, crafts and activities. There was a real buzz of excitement in the air as we spent the afternoon getting comfy, drinking our hot chocolate with marshmallows, while watching the Polar Express on our big screens. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and made the most of getting into the christmas spirit.
Maths Workshop 2024
Wednesday 6 November
We had a lovely morning on Wednesday when parents and carers were invited to join us for a maths workshop. Mr Murdoch delivered a short presentation in the hall and then families were able to join in with the children in their classrooms to get a deeper understanding of how maths is taught at our school. The children were so excited to share their learning with their grown-ups and we were delighted with how many of you joined us for the event. We hope you took away some valuable information and ideas from the session.

On Friday 18th October we all took part in our annual colour run. What an amazing afternoon it was! The weather held out and it was gorgeous to see the children laughing and smiling as they ran or walked around our track and field, some choosing to be covered in powder paint to raise money for Cancer research UK. We are delighted to announce we raised a spectacular £584.00. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our parents and carers and everyone who donated to such a worthwhile charity. |
FS2 Phonics Workshop 2024
10 October 2024
Yesterday, FS2 welcomed parents and carers into their class for a fabulous phonics workshop. The children were superb and showcased all their knowledge, from identifying sounds to segmenting and blending, and word reading and writing. FS2 team would like to thank all the parents and carers who attended the workshop. It was a fabulous turnout and really does make a difference! We hope you found the experience useful and had lots of fun learning in our classroom.
Sports Day Year 2 – Year 6 2024
Thursday 26 September
What a gorgeous afternoon we had on Thursday when the weather held out for us so we could take part in our sports day. The children were so excited to have a go at all the different activities and it was lovely to see them supporting each other and cheering each other on. Thank you to our parents and carers who came to enjoy the afternoon.
World Mental Health Day 2024
Thursday 10 September
Thursday certainly brightened up the week with children and staff being invited to wear yellow to recognise World Mental Health day. The children completed lots of different activities throughout the day including yoga, happy breathing and craft and colouring to help recognise how we can calm our minds and regulate our emotions. Our children are really skilled at recognising their emotions and know the importance of caring for their mental health. It was lovely to see the children being a part of different activities throughout school.
