Our Year 5 pupils on the 'We Are Silent' march to City Hall made the school proud today. Not only did they create their own protest banners and posters in place of using their voices, but they also managed to remain silent throughout the actual marches and sit-in protest inside City Hall.
Sarah, Elm class, said 'It was really cool to go on a silent march and visit City Hall. I couldn't do it every day though as it was tiring walking around!'
The causes and issues the children chose to stay silent for were all personal choices and included: war, domestic violence, animal cruelty and racism. They were joined by secondary school pupils from Jo Richardson Academy and enjoyed a picturesque lunch alongside the River Thames. We hope that more pupils from Broadford will participate next year!
