Greek Theatre in Year 5

 

Pandora's Box

Year 5 enjoyed an ancient Greek workshop this week to finish off their topic all about myths and legends. 

On Monday morning, the children had the opportunity to take part in a Pandora's Box experience that they all thoroughly enjoyed. It was a lovely way to begin our week of learning and a fantastic end to our first topic.

 It was the best workshop ever! - Peter

I enjoyed learning a different version of the myth - Maddison

We would like to wish you all a relaxing, well deserved half term break, and we look forward to seeing you all back in school on Monday 2nd November.

Black History Month

 

As people are aware, October is Black History Month. Here at Broadford we pride ourselves in including this within our curriculum. It is so very important that the children learn about key moments within history and the impact of influential people from the black community.

Each class has studied a chosen individual with the aim of gaining an insight as to why these people are so inspirational and what it was that they managed to achieve regardless of prejudice. Classes then had to produce a piece of artwork to be displayed in our school. Here are some pictures below, I think we can all agree that they are fabulous. A huge well done to our children!

Will cinemas disappear in your lifetime?
