Dear Parents/Carers

I hope that you have been enjoying the glorious weather this week!

Last week the children were busy with Science week! There was lots of investigating floating and sinking, magnets, materials, ecosystems and lots more! Take a look at the Year group pages to see the children in action. We have also been busy raising money for Comic Relief

This week the children have been photographers and learning the skills needed to take really effective photos - take a look on the Year group pages.

We are certainly zipping through the academic year and Easter is nearly upon us! Thank you for your continued support.

Many thanks

RED NOSE DAY

Thank you for all the donations - we raised over £500! What a fantastic effort from all the pupils and their families at Brookfield.

BROOKFIELD GETS SNAPPING!

This week, all children in the school, from Nursery to Year 6, took part in a Photography workshop, run by the fantastic photographers at Starsnappers.

Children experienced being in a photography 'studio' and learnt how different equipment is used to create the correct lighting and avoid unwanted shadows when taking great photographs. Children got the chance to take a photograph of themselves and of a friend, before posing for a final portrait. Everyone had a fantastic time!

COUNT ON US PRIMARY CHALLENGE Maths Club

This week, our fabulous mathematicians have had the chance to practise their mental maths skills to quickly find 24 in the popular 24Game. There are so many different ways to solve each game and these children are really quick to identify them. They are becoming quite confident at code breaking and they worked in teams to crack the code as fast as possible, competing with the other teams. This time they had to find the London attractions after decoding the message and working out the clues.
