Science lesson exploring using scientific equipment. 

We went orienteering in Year 1 for our geography lesson. 

Year 3 learn how to manipulate a single image into a variety of images.

Children in Year 4 have spent the day making lanterns ready for the Ellesmere Port Lantern Parade and Christmas Light Switch On. 

The children have reinforced their measurement and shape knowledge as well as learning about structures. 

In Computing, children in Year 4 have been building on their Scratch Programming knowledge to create an electrical circuit game.  The children have been learning about different variables as well as broadcast commands.  

Our School Council went out with Mr Orme to deliver our harvest donation parcels to local residents in our school neighbourhood.  We are so proud of the children of Brookside for being such compassionate citizens in our community.

Well done Y6 - a fabulous science week full of discovery and wonder.

1) Microorganisms - we discussed how microbes are passed on between us and actions we can take to minimise the spread.

2) Biscuit bacteria - we had fun making our own bacteria out of sweets and biscuits - we then…

As part of our science topic this half term, 'Animal Life Cycles and Reproduction', Year 5 were tasked with charming worms to allow them to study their growth.

Year 5 had to get the worms to the surface to allow them to collect them carefully. They did this by placing a large stick in the soil…

Children in Year 4 have been exploring electrical circuits.  All the children were given different components (wires, cells, bulbs and buzzers) and were asked to create as many different working circuits as possible.  

Children in Year 4 have been looking at conjunctions and exploring how they can change the meaning of a sentence.   

Year 3 have been learning all about tone and shade in art.

As you can see we have more than a few budding 

Vincent van Goghs or Georgia O' Keeffes!

Year 3 have been learning all about forces, magnetism and friction.

Here we are undertaking an experiment to find out which surface has the least friction.
