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.

Year 6 SATs Breakfast 11th-14th May 2026

 

   

Dear Parents/Carers,

11th May-14th May is the KS2 SATS week in Year 6. 

We would love to invite all of Year 6 to join us in school for breakfast at 8am everyday.

We want to make sure that all the children feel fuelled and ready for the day, having eaten a healthy breakfast. It will also provide the children with an opportunity to socialise with their friends and teachers; calming their nerves before they sit their test papers.

It will also ensure they are in school on time, which is paramount in the day running smoothly.

Children can enter through the grey door on the left of the office and make their way to their classrooms.

Sports morning clubs for Year 6 children will be cancelled next week so that the children can attend. 

Children do not need to bring anything extra for school this week, everything will be provided for them.

If your child is not going to be in school it is vital that we are made aware as soon as possible (on the day please ring the office as soon as you know).

Any questions please do not hesitate to email at year6@broadford.havering.sch.uk
