Year 2 - Friday 5th June 2026
On Friday 5th June, Year 2 will need to come to school in their normal school uniform as they are going to the Havering Music Festival. They can bring their non-school uniform in a named bag to change into after. We kindly ask the children to bring in a pink donation on that day (they do not have to wear pink on-uniform).
As always, thank you for your support.

During Art this term, we have been exploring exciting ways to develop and enhance their watercolour paintings by combining them with a variety of other materials, including chalk, oil pastels and pencil crayons. They have been experimenting with different watercolour techniques, learning how colours can blend, layer and create beautiful effects. The children showed fantastic creativity and enthusiasm throughout the project, and they are incredibly proud of the amazing artwork they have produced. Their finished pieces are full of colour, texture and imagination!
Year 1 ALSO…
This week in RE we have been bringing all our learning together from the last five weeks. We shared a wonderful story about a curious boy who peeks through a keyhole to discover what is hidden inside both a church and a mosque. We talked about the special features, symbols and objects he might spy inside these buildings.
The children then drew their very own views of what they would see if they peeked into a church or a mosque. They did a fantastic job remembering the things we have explored over the last five weeks.
This week in Science, Year 1 pupils explored the trees in our school. The children went on a walk around the school field, where they observed and identified different types of trees. They practised using their observation skills carefully and learnt that trees can be recognised by features such as their leaves, bark and shape.
Well done Year 1 for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!

This week in PE, the children have been practising their skipping skills. They began by learning how to move the skipping rope in a circular motion, helping them understand the momentum needed to swing the rope over their heads. Once they had mastered this action, they moved on to jumping over the rope. As a challenge, the children were asked to see how many jumps they could complete before stopping.
The children then worked in pairs, with one child turning the rope while both attempted to jump together. This was a tricky task for some, but everyone tried incredibly hard. It was wonderful to see so many children achieve a few successful jumps without stopping — a fantastic accomplishment.
At Broadford, we celebrate marvellous mistakes, and we know that trying hard and practising will always help the children become successful — even in skipping!
