Year 5 experiences

 This term as one of our experiences, we are looking to support an animal shelter. The Romford greyhound association is a local charity that takes care of greyhounds when they no longer race and rehomes them into loving homes. I have spoken to them to ask what we can do to support them with regards to bedding and food. If the children can bring in dog food (tinned or biscuits), newspapers for bedding or animal toys, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure we can rally around and make a difference to the charity. One of the charity workers will be happy to come into school to collect the donations. Please can we all try to support this as every small donation will make a difference and become part of a large donation.

Writing from the Inside Out: A Gut-Wrenching Diary Entry!

 



There is nothing quite like a science-fiction twist to get children excited about writing. This week, our budding authors took a "deep dive" (quite literally!) into the human body. To link our science topic on the digestive system with our creative writing, the children were tasked with writing a diary entry from the perspective of a piece of food.

By personifying a piece of broccoli or a wayward spaghetti noodle, the children were able to demonstrate their scientific knowledge of biological processes while practising first-person narrative and emotive language.

Year 5 Rock Painting Joys

 Year 5 Rock Painting Joys


As part of our ethos at Broadford Primary school , we value the moments where all children are able to share an experience together. One of the Year 5 experiences is to paint a rock and that they did this week. The sun was of great help as the children designed and layered their vibrant acrylic paints on to a rock. 

With inspiration from nature and things that the children find beautiful in their eyes, they were able to to turn a plain stone into an eye-catching piece of art.





Birch class focused on creating painted rocks to inspire others and chose to write positive messages for others to read when looking at the pebbles. We loved creating our positive pebble and tried our best to make as little mess as we could with all the paint. 

'I wrote bee kind with a picture of a bee as a joke because they will be used outdoor by the pond' - Athena, Birch.



Redwood class enjoyed creating different effects with their pebbles. Some did ombre effects whilst others stuck to the concept of positive affirmations.
