P4s visit Castle Espie!

Thu 20 Oct 2016

This week our P4 pupils enjoyed a day trip to Castle Espie, outside Comber, to see the famous migrating Brent Geese from Arctic Canada!

Thousands of these geese have flown 2,500 miles to find food and a warmer winter, dodging hunters and stormy weather along the way. Each pupil got the chance to feed the ducks, geese and swans at the ponds and visit the secret Bird Hide where they used binoculars to see the Brent Geese feed on the eel grass on Strangford Lough.

Our guides, John and Ross, taught us all about the Brent Goose and their amazing migration journey. We also had time to spend money in the shop to buy a souvenir and play in the fantastic adventure park!

The staff complimented the excellent behaviour and manners of the pupils from Brooklands Primary School - something we are not surprised at, of course - but very well done to each boy and girl for representing the school so well. Thanks also to the teachers and classroom assistants in P4 for making the day pass so smoothly!

Harvest Thanksgiving at Brooklands

Fri 14 Oct 2016

This week at Brooklands Primary School we celebrated and gave thanks for the autumn Harvest, a tradition in many schools and churches. Well done to the Junior and Senior Choirs who performed some Harvest songs after weeks of hard work and many practices. Thanks to Miss Ashby, Mrs Bell & Mrs Connery for all the preparation, each pupil did you proud and they looked so smart and happy on stage!

Each assembly had special songs sung by all as well as very talented readers and prayer leaders too. The P4-P7 Harvest Assembly welcomed back our friend Simon Henry as guest speaker.

As a measure of our own 'thanksgiving', many pupils brought in donations for the Dundonald Food Bank, everything from toilet rolls to tinned soup and much, much more. We await to hear our the grand total in kilograms of all the donated goods taken away on Friday - a big thanks once again to every family in school who sent something to the Food Bank.

Next stop....Christmas anyone?!?!
