Year 5 Victorian Lesson experience - Wednesday 24th February

Over the past half term, Year 5 have been focusing on life during the Victorian times, through their History work on Victorian child labour and their literacy and reading work, focused on the novel, Street Child.

During this period of remote learning, it has obviously been more challenging to provide our pupils with the trips and additional experiences that we pride ourselves on here at Broadford, but we are very excited to announce that on Wednesday 24th February (tomorrow), the Year 5 children will have the opportunity to remotely experience a Victorian classroom!

This will allow the children to gain a better understanding of what life was like for Victorian children, as they are led through learning experiences that Victorian children would have done in the past, including the 'three Rs' and 'drill'.

In order to gain the most from the activity, the children are asked to enter into the spirit of the activity and act like Victorian children: remember, sit up straight, don't speak unless spoken to and use good manners at all times! A full explanation of the school rules will be given at the start of the sessions.

The experience will be delivered via a Google Meet with separate sessions for each class (Redwood at 10am and Willow at 11am). The links will be shared in the Google Classroom tomorrow morning. Please ensure your child has a pen/pencil and some paper available to complete the lesson activities. 

Year 5 - Moving to Secondary School

Please see below a letter for parents of children in Year 5, about transitioning from primary to secondary school.

There are links to a virtual tour and a challenge for the children to try.

Dear Parent/Carer of Year 5,

 

I hope that you are well. 

 

At this time of year at Hornchurch High, we usually have several year 5 days and a transition programme, in order to acclimate your child into secondary school. This is very important and gives your child a taste of secondary school and enables them to get a good feel of a school, before making a decision on where to go. 

 

We are continuing with our transition programme here at Hornchurch High School.  Over the next few weeks, you will receive a tour, a quiz, some welcome videos from students and a Q&A with senior staff.

 

Today, I have gathered a group of my transition leadership team students on TEAMS. They all wanted to write letters to your children to encourage, comfort and enthuse!

 

I hope that you enjoy them. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact publicity@hornchurchhigh.com

 

Kind regards
