To celebrate Black History Month, our KS1 children had a visit from the Black author, Toyin Owoseje this week. She held an assembly with the children and it was beautiful watching them practise positive affirmation as detailed in her book, Wonderfully Me.
Literacy
The children worked very hard to write their newspaper
reports about the Great Fire of London this week. They used
the appropriate features including the 5Ws (Who? Where?
What? When? and Why?) and conjunctions to link their
ideas. Additionally, they included eye witness accounts and
clearly explained why the fire spread quickly. Well done Year 2!
Maths
In Maths, pupils were able to complete problems involving
addition and subtraction. They have used their knowledge
of place value to solve these problems using the column
method. Well done year 2.
History
This week in history we compared the present day to
1666. We explored how the fire services have changed.
This includes the equipment they use and the uniforms they have.
These children have worked extremely hard and have been rewarded for all of their hard work and efforts.

The next half term, Mulberry Class will be participating in Forest School sessions. These sessions will take place on Tuesday mornings. The first session will be on Tuesday 5th November 2024 while the remaining sessions will hold on 12/11/24, 19/11/24, 26/11/24 and 03/112/24. These sessions are led by Miss Float (Jill Jungle Owl) and Alison Shorter (Alison Ant). Please find below a leaflet that explains/reminds you of what Forest School is all about. This leaflet was sent to all the Year 2 parents in September 2024.
The children in Year 2 are already familiar with Forest School, as they participated in two half term blocks of sessions in Year 1.
Forest School sessions take place whatever the weather, so it is important the children are properly dressed, so that they can participate in and enjoy each session fully.
Many thanks for your continued support. We are sure your children are going to be looking forward to having the opportunity to participate in Forest School again.
These children have worked extremely hard and have been rewarded for all of their hard work and efforts.

Dear Parents and Carers,
Broadford will be hosting a very special day to raise money for Children In Need this year on Friday 15th November.
This will include:
Non-uniform day with a theme.
Design a new Pudsey competition to take place within classes.
Fun Pudsey themed activities to take part in throughout the day in class.
This year's theme encourages you to be SPOTacular!
The children can wear any spotty clothing they own or if you are struggling to find clothing to match the theme a simple idea would be to draw polka dots on a plain t-shirt. If you would like to add Pudsey accessories to your outfit feel free! We ask that you contribute £1 per family to this great cause if your child is in non-uniform and any further donations are welcome.
I am sure that we will all have a fun day raising money for Children In Need.
Kind Regards,
Miss Hamilton and Mrs Green
In Maths this week the children were learning about the inequality symbols ( greater than, less than and equal to > < = ). This children enjoyed exploring different numbers and using the symbols.
Below is a video we watched in school that helped the children understand how to use the inequality symbol.
