Welcome to our News section!
To mark the end of Money Week at Brooklands, each pupil was asked to bring in lots of 1ps and 2ps on Friday 20th March. After assembly, each class went out into the playground and we had a fantastic time laying paths of coins stretching right across the playground. Some classes even managed to bring their paths over to the nursery and back again!
After break, the P6s in Mrs Bell's class were given the very responsible job of bagging all the coins - it took rather a long time! When we added it all up, we had raised a staggering £445 for Asfaw and his school in Ethiopia! This is a fantastic achievement so a huge THANK YOU to everyone who brought in their coins!

What a busy few weeks it's been in Brooklands Primary!
The P4 and P5 classes have been to the Tesco store in Knocknagoney to get a 'behind the scenes' tour of the store and how it gets what it sells from farm to fork.
The P1s enjoyed a great day at W5 whilst Mrs Lowham helped the school celebrate St Patrick's Day in true, unique style!
We have been learning about using and dealing with cash and coins as part of Money Week, and we look forward to raising a huge amount for Asfaw when we lay out our paths of pennies in the playground at the end of the week.
Mr Coetzee's class are hosting our annual Bun Sale, which will raise money to sponsor our animal friends at Belfast Zoo.
