In RE, children recapped the Five Pillars of Islam to help them connect to their learning on Islam this half term. They created spinners which went through each pillar and thought about how they impact a Muslimโs life. @BrackensdaleS#bekind
Year 5 have been working hard to learn this song over the last few weeks and are now starting to compose their own instrumental parts @BrackensdaleS#shinebright#aimhigh
For National Poetry Day, Y5 explored the poem, Everyone Comes from Somewhere. They applied their learning about refugees to explain how the poem shows we should treat refugees with kindness. Their answers were absolutely beautiful! #bekind@MichaelRosenYes@BrackensdaleS
As part of Roald Dahl Day, the children have been reading poems from Revolting Rhymes.
They also explored how to draw in the style of Quentin Blake. They looked at his murals for the public and then created some of their own murals in his style! @BrackensdaleS
We are so excited that one of our fantastic pupils, Olive, got to meet @davidwalliams and share her amazing illustrations with him - maybe one day Olive will be illustrating for a Walliams book! @BrackensdaleS@satrust_#shinebright#aimhigh
Year 4 have created these wonderful collages today after we were inspired by an artist called Megan Coyle.
They reused magazines that would have otherwise been thrown away to help have a positive impact on the environment too #bekind#shinebright#aimhigh@BrackensdaleS
Y2 are looking at flowers in art work. We are creating sculptures inspired by The Rush of Nature by @_MarcQuinn. We're using an unusual material. Can you guess what we have used for our flower petals? Look at our work so far... #BeKind#ShineBright#AimHigh@BrackensdaleS

Our children blew us away last week with our joint school concert! Our choir performed with three other SAT schools and shifted many people to tears! We were so proud of them! @BrackensdaleS#aimhigh#shinebright
Year 4 have touched, smelled, tasted, diced and sliced lots of new foods and ingredients today on their mission to design and make a low-cost, tasty soup - the end results were delicious! @BrackensdaleS#shinebright#aimhigh
One of our wonderful Year 4 pupils applied what he has learnt in computing to create this animation to show our school values - what a superstar! @BrackensdaleS#bekind#shinebright#aimhigh
Y4 listened to the story of The Good Samaritan yesterday in RE and made links with our own school value of Be Kind. Then they enjoyed playing a board game based on the story where they could practise being kind and helpful to others @BrackensdaleS#bekind
Year 4 loved sharing their times tables knowledge with their parents this afternoon - mums, dads and grandparents were very keen to find out how to help with learning tables and enjoyed tackling some multiplication challenges together @BrackensdaleS#shinebright#aimhigh
We are so impressed with the effort Year 4 have been putting into improving their handwriting - there is still room for improvement but their progress so far is amazing @BrackensdaleS#shinebright#aimhigh
