Brookside Primary School hosted a dress-up day to celebrate the anniversary of Roald Dahl’s fascinating stories. Pupils dressed up as their favourite characters from Roald Dahl’s books, such as Matilda, The Enormous Crocodile, Mr. Fox and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. The pupils were thrilled and excited when they saw each other in their costumes. They were engaged and enthused while listening to and watching the extracts and videos from the books. The event was a great success and marked a memorable day for everyone involved.

Brookside is pleased to welcome all the pupils back to school. It was a smooth start to the academic year. Our Reception pupils and new Nursery starters have settled in very well during this transition period. Already, they have shown to be very resilient and responsible in their behaviour. We look forward to a very productive year as we inspire our pupils to ‘Strive for Excellence’ in all that they do. We look forward to continuing our work with parents, guardians and carers to support in the development of each child.
Year 1 took an exciting journey to Odds Farm Park in High Wycombe to learn about the countryside as a part of their Geography topic. The pupils petted the rabbits and fed the goats and sheep; some pupils were allowed to feed the pigs. There was an amazing adventure playground that the pupils played on and a sandy play area. After lunch there was a tractor ride to see the animals grazing in the fields and the pupils and teachers finally went to play in the soft play area with big slides to play on.
The Nursery pupils and their parents, guardians and carers, had a wonderful day during their “People who help us” Family Picnic Day. Families, along with the teachers, played a variety of games, danced to some vibrant music and enjoyed each other’s delicious delicacies in the great weather. We wold like to thank our parents, guardians and carers for their continuous support.
The Year 5 pupils were in awe as they travelled back to 16th Century England in their visit to Hampton Court Palace. The visit provided great enrichment, as well as the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the monarchs of the time. The pupils saw various fascinating paintings and were able to compare their own skills of drawing portraits of King Henry VIII from their own Art lessons. To give a better understanding of how vast the Palace is, the pupils explored different chambers and saw King Henry’s actual kitchen. They were able to make comparisons on how people lived during that period to present day. Overall, the trip was a huge success as they reinforced their learning of The Tudors whilst having a blast!
The entire school had a remarkable day celebrating their cultural diversity on Tuesday, 21st May. Everyone came dressed in their national costumes and they brought in items to show their peers a representation from their culture. Bridging the gap between cultures is something we encourage and pride ourselves on at Brookside, as we foster the understanding, growth and development of the British values.
Family bonding is very important to us at Brookside. For International Day of Families, Nursery celebrated with a “Crafternoon” session. The parents, guardians and carers, along with the Nursery pupils had the opportunity to engage in a variety of enjoyable activities, including creating caterpillar collages, painting, colouring, making playdough, and doing finger painting. They had an enjoyable time.

Reading is one of the top priorities for us at Brookside. Our pupils are given a range of opportunities to engage in reading throughout the day. To develop a passion and love for reading within the home, our parents, guardians and carers were invited to a ‘Stay and Read Workshop’ in Key Stages 1 and 2.
