News from the Park
Parent Newsletter 25 22.03.2024
It was wonderful to see so many of you at this week's Parent Consultations. It is always such a joy to celebrate your children's successes and achievements with you.
Nursery had the most amazing time at the farm yesterday. The sun shone brightly for them as they explored critters, farm animals, reindeers and meerkats. The Nursery children got to feed the goats and found it very funny when the goats tickled their hands as they licked the food off! The children explored the rabbit and wallaby enclosures, and ended the day playing in the climbing area.
Year 1 are learning about the Easter story in R.E. They had a visit from Reverend Alec, the church rector at St. Mary's Church. He told the Easter story using lots of props from his church. The children found it fascinating and asked him lots of questions.
Well done to Year 4 who put on a fantastic clarinet and flute performance this morning. The progress they have made is incredible - they were reading music and playing with such confidence. We are very proud of Year 4! A big thank you to Sophie, our wonderful music teacher, too!
This week, Year 5 visited the Natural History Museum. They had a fantastic time exploring the museum and taking part in a workshop. They particularly liked creating a Rover using a lego prototype and using their coding skills to allow their Rover to move.
Lost Property
Please check the lost property boxes before the end of term next Thursday. All named items have been reunited with their owners. However, there is still a vast amount of unlabelled items to be claimed.
Neurodiversity Week
This week has been the national events of Neurodiversity Week and Sign Language Week. It has been a celebration of the strengths, talents and differences of our community. Brunswick Park "signed up" for the Big Sign language lesson and have talked about how we can value our differences. We know that amazing things can happen when we share these differences.
Science Week
This week the children had great fun taking part in a workshop to celebrate Science Week with a focus on 'Time'. They learnt all sorts of fun facts explaining how different birds have adapted and evolved over time to suit their environment. The children then took part in activities in which they made either a preening peacock, pecking woodpecker or a bird whistle. We hope this has given the children more of an insight into our diverse planet and how these animals have changed over time. We also look forward to seeing their #ScienceSelfies on Monday showing their own investigations!
