Fact Hunters

Tegan Sage
Around 500 years before Christopher Columbus ‘discovered’ the American continent, Vikings had visited its shores, landing in what is now Canada in around AD 1000.

Grace Moody
The Vikings were eco-pioneers – sort of! The ‘long houses’ where families lived would have turf roofs to help keep in the heat.

Lillie Jo Guidotti
Bitter Scandinavian winters and frozen fjords didn’t stop the Vikings from tucking into their favourite food – fish! During warmer months they would hang up and dry fish to eat later.

Did you know that the semicircular canals of the vestibule of the inner ear are responsible for balance? They provide sensory input for equilibrium by detecting acceleration or deceleration.

Car Update

Thank you to those parents who have asked about the green van parked near the main school gates. We are very thankful for your vigilance and concern for safety. In response to your concern we raised the issue with 101 and PC Hopkins. They have investigated and responded...

Good afternoon,

The green van H20FJX parked outside belongs to a local resident (Farringdon avenue)

The index does come back to various cars as it is a cherished transfer (private plate)

It is taxed/ mot'd etc…… so not a great deal can done

End of Day Arrangements

Dear Parents,

It is very exciting to see that the builders/demolition team are now on site and beginning to erect the scaffolding that precedes the end of the old building.

However it does mean that the arrangements for collection at the end of day will change as of tonight!

ALL parents/carers will need to come to the main gate, at the top of the hill by the pelican crossing, to gain access to the playground.

1. Come down the path to the doors on the right hand side (where KS1 & EYFS enter the building in the morning)
2. Go down the wooden ramp into the EYFS outdoor area to access the playground
3. Collect your children from class
4. Exit the playground by entering the new building by the Year 1 sandpit
5. Walk through the corridor and exit by Mr Drakes's office (the entrance used by KS2 in the morning)

This system will be in place for the next year as we have the demolition work completed followed by the construction of the new building.

Indie's Artwork

Well done to Indie for her amazing natural collage. She has been inspired by the topic on jungles and wanted to create her own.

Did you know that this isn't a jungle, it is a rainforest.  Amazingly rainforests only cover 2% of the total surface area of the Earth, but about 50% of the plants and animals on the earth live in the rainforest!

Y5 Random Acts of Kindness

We believe that it is important for our pupils to receive a Spiritual entitlement through our curriculum. This is delivered in a variety of ways across KS2:

• Year 3 - spiritual walk around the locality
• Year 4 - perform in a place of worship
• Year 5 - visit the community for Random Acts of Kindness
• Year 6 - reflect on the legacy of their time at Broadford

In May we had been working with the pupils who have led the #wearekind project for Free the Children. It was our chance to go out and do little acts of kindness for people: give out flowers, hand out sweets, smile and say hello.

Brooke Borland

Our pupils have been discussing how an act of kindness has three key repercussions:

1. The person carrying out the act benefits from being kind
2. The recipient feels happier and is likely to carry out an act of kindness
3. Someone witnessing the act feels inspired to do something similar

It felt really good to be helping people. I couldn't believe how much they smiled and said thank you. It made me feel really fuzzy and warm inside

Megan Mae Burnett

Thank you to Rev Rich who helped to lead the teams in the community.

Count On Us Update

We are now at the half way stage. The pupils have had three rounds...

1. Tangrams

2. Pentominoes

3. 24 Game

Now the children have the code breaking round. Good luck!

It's been a lot of fun. The Living Room has an amazing view. Because we had practised at school it has been better today, we knew what to expect.
