Welcome to Year 5/6 where children will be part of the Oak, Hornbeam or Ginkgo class. The penultimate and final years at Brookside take our children on an exciting journey and prepare them for their transition to secondary school.
A real highlight of Year 5 is the opportunity to go ice skating. This is a professionally coached 6-week course at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham and has always inspired some children to want to become the next generation of Torvill and Deans! The children can also showcase their acting talents with a joint production with Year 6 put on for the parents. Year 6 children begin their year by embarking on our residential to Robinwood – always a fabulous, fun-packed few days for all who attend – building a strong team spirit and a positive attitude to work for the year ahead.
Although we have a strong focus in getting the Year 6 pupils prepared to do their very best in the SATs, we are proud that we offer a wide curriculum that offers the children a rich range of opportunities and experiences in many ways from art projects to school productions; day trips out to learning to programme robots and experiment in science; and take part sports events to learning about the history of music. Our aim is always to leave the children with fabulous memories of their time at Brookside school and an enthusiastic approach to and love of learning.
