“Ahoy there, me hearties!” Year 2 have been exploring pirates. The children researched famous ships and learned about sea adventures. Using creativity and teamwork, they designed and made their own pirate ships, considering features like sails, flags and cannons.

This week in DT, children have been designing their own versions of ‘hairy trousers’ inspired by the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok. We are so proud of their fantastic concepts and enthusiasm — a brilliant mix of history and creativity!

Maple class had a brilliant first day back after Easter, when pirate Captain Snappy Beard sent us on a playground treasure hunt. Using compasses and a map we located the X. We'll write our own English instructions this term. #OutdoorLearning #Pirates

Proud to receive this message from Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson! Pupils at Brackenhill make incredible progress & go on to achieve brilliant things — whatever their background. Huge thanks to our pupils, staff, parents & community for shaping the citizens of the future!

Maple class engaged in outdoor learning for our winter season's day by taking a sensory walk to explore what we could hear, see, and feel. We also examined plants and trees to understand their winter changes. It's certainly very cold! #Winter #SeasonsDay #Dimensions

Year 2 challenged themselves in Art by drawing inspiration from Christy Brown, who painted with his foot due to cerebral palsy. Despite difficulties, he persisted. We sketched his work and painted using our non-dominant hand, which was challenging but fun! #Art #DimensionsArt
