Unicef Day for change

The Rabbits have "bean" having a lot of fun this week!  They have been practising hard for their innovative version of Jack and the Beanstalk that they will be performing today!  Not only that, but they made giant chocolate cakes and have keeping a watchful eye on their plants that they planted last week.  So far so good!




The Dragonflies have also been looking at plants, and have been making a collage of a plant and it's features.  They aren't quite finished yet so check back next week to see what they look like.  The Dragonflies have been working extremely hard in maths and have been finding one more and one less using lots of different methods.  This week in cooking the Dragonflies made ginger bread biscuits and chose different templates for dough.  They will be repeating the recipe in 2 weeks but will be making their very own gingerbread shield that they will decorate.

The Otters have been delving further into the Rainforest this week!  In Literacy they have been reading "Stanley saves the Rainforest" by Tony Frais.  The Otters have also been investigating the function of the plant parts.

Today the whole school have gathered for a special assembly to learn about the work of UNICEF.  Mrs Shergill set the children a challenge to collect as much loose change as they can to raise money for this important cause.  The children of Brookside have risen to the challenge and we are all looking forward to finding out how much money was raised.
