Latest News - Identity Week 2023
We have just completed Identity Week, which celebrated the fact we are all unique. The whole school took part in many art activities including, art, dance, drama, music, poetry and film making. At the end of the week we all shared the amazing work at an assembly. Well done everyone! You should all be very proud to be YOU!
Monthe in Year 1, performed a poem in front of the whole school to celebrate the fact we are all unique. I thought it was an important message and one that everyone needs to hear and remember. Here he is reading it.
CHARITY WALK FOR JAKE
Jake is one of our Year 6 children, who has been off school due to a long term illness and has spent most of his time at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. So, our fabulous Y6 children along with Miss Knowles came up with the idea to raise money for Jake and his family by walking 14 miles. (14 miles is the distance from our school to Alder Hey Hospital) Over the week, our Y6 children walked each day (sometimes over 3 miles!) to reach the target mileage of 14 miles. Plus our sensational staff walked on the Saturday from school to Alder Hey covering the full 14 miles!
Along with Year 5’s Bake Sale who raised £267, took the overall funds to over £2700!
What the children and staff at Brookvale achieved was quite remarkable and demonstrated true community spirit and we hope that the money raised for Jake, can help with his recovery.

WOODLAND TRUST TREE PLANTING
Our Year 4 children had the opportunity to work with The Woodland Trust and Tim Kirwen from Wilder Things to start the extensive tree planting progamme in Frodsham. The children planted the first 200 trees and the Woodland Trust hope to plant 30,000 trees by March 2024. Three of our children, Italia Crimp, Charlie Duckworth and Archie Hodnett were also interviewed by BBC Radio Merseyside and appeared on the Breakfast Show!
SOME OF THE WORK OUR SCHOOL BUDDIES DO EACH DAY
Our Y6 Buddies work with our younger children at lunch time to help them learn how to play and get on with one-another. They provide lots of different activities and are excellent role models for our KS1 children.
A Tour of Our Learning Mentor's Room
This is our Learning Mentor's room. It is where Julia Shutt our Learning Mentor works with children either one to one, in small groups or classes. As you can see, it is a very tranquil and calm room with lots of resources to support our children with their mental wellbeing. Thanks to our Buddies for making this film.
ORIENTEERING COMPETITION WINNERS!
Y6 children entered an inter-school orienteering competition and won! Everyone that took part showed great team spirit and sportsmanship. Well done Y6 you should all be very proud!
