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 Muslimโ€™s life. @BrackensdaleS #bekind

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

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

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
