Bronze winning Year 2 help Broadford reach GOLD!

A massive congratulations to our 9 Year 2 pupils who took part in the Drapers Sports Day today! The children competed in 5 events across the day, against other schools, and their points from each event were added up to make a total score - they finished a highly commended third place overall! Year 2 were one of the three year groups across Broadford to be placed in the top three in their Year group, such a massive achievement! Their success contributed to the overall total score of the school which saw Broadford crowned as overall champions on the day! 

A particular highlight of the day for Year 2 was winning 4 out of 8 of the sprint races! You children really can run fast! 

Well done to the following children for their relentless effort in the heat and their cheerful attitudes throughout the day:

Ruben Roberts

Maisy Cohen

Alex Tonu

Leanne Royer

Joshua Nwaokolo

Hayden Northwood

Florence Ayres

Harry Kaylor 

Polina Backane 

A big thank you also goes to the parents who came and supported and Miss Cook & Mr Portway for working tirelessly over the term to make the event such a great experience for the year 2 children. We have set our sights on being Year 2 champs next year! 

Kindness workshop

Last week, year one were fortunate enough to have some special guests come in and give them a kindness workshop. We are very thankful to Mrs Joy and Mrs Wright for all their efforts- the children loved hearing about things they could do to be kind and the story of 'The Good Samaritan'. The children learned a song and dance, joined in with the story and then completed lots of exciting activities.

If you see someone who needs your help you should help them. Zara

I made a kindness diary of things you can do. Kanishka

We learned about the Samaritan who helped the man on the road. Freddie

We decided if they made a good or bad choice in the story and held up our paper plates. Oliver

Summer Fun in Year One

This morning, the children in Year One have been showing off their 4R skills outside during independent choice time. The children have been making dens to give them lots of shelter from the sun and spent lots of time working together in the water area and sand pit. They have been making castles with moats, racing tracks, potions and recipes! They have showed they can work collaboratively in order to achieve a desired outcome and they have shown great resourcefulness in order to make their ideas come to life.

I made a den using the blocks and then used the material to keep it cool. Its from angry birds. I worked with Freddie and Charlie. Peter

We are making a really tall castle and we want to see how tall we can get the sand. Finley

'Does it keep falling, what could you do to make the sand a bit more sturdy?' We could add some water to make it stick better and make it stronger! Alfie.

We've created a cat walk- watch us! Jolene and Sophie (and team!)

Taste the rainbow for healthy eating week!

As part of Healthy Eating Week, Year One got to try a variety of fresh local and exotic fruits. They talked about how to describe the fruits using their senses to help them. They have also written about what would make a healthy meal and then created their own ideal balanced meal.

The blueberries were sweet, squishy and dark blue! Temilola

We were given a mystery fruit to guess- it tasted sour. Tyler

I guessed the mystery fruit- it was lime. It was a pale green colour inside. Tiggy

I loved the oranges and strawberries the most because they were sweet. Sophie

The children have been learning about the importance of hydration and getting a range of nutrients from their food. Children can keep hydrated through their food and other drinks- particularly important in our recent hot weather!

See the poster below to find out more about healthy hydration.
