This week has been one big celebration for the Queen's Jubilee!
Year 5 have been working hard in their assessments in the mornings and the afternoons have been time for fun Jubilee themed activities and our theme has been the 1960's.
Below are some pictures of the children creating Andy Warhol style 'Pop Art' on the Queen, playing a game of 'Blow Football' in honour of the 1966 World Cup win!
Oak Class have had the best time at Central Park celebrating their achievement of winning the Attendance Award a term ago!

Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check 2022
Dear Parent/Carer,
This term, your pupil will take part in the MTC (Multiplication Tables Check) that all schools in the country are required to complete. The multiplication check will take place within a three week window beginning Tuesday 7th of June 2022, after our half-term break.
The purpose of the check is to determine whether pupils can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will also help your child’s teacher/s to identify pupils who may need additional support as they move into Year 5.
The MTC is an on-screen check consisting of 25 multiplication questions. Your child will answer 3 practice questions before moving onto the official check where they will then have 6 seconds to answer each question. On average, the check should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.
The children have been practicing for this test all year and we are very proud of the progress they have made so far. If you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,
Miss Higgins

As we approach the last half of the Summer term, the Year 5 team wanted to remind parents of the Broadford reading scheme: 105 books to read before you leave Broadford Primary.
At Broadford, we aim to encourage a love of reading. By providing our pupils with quality texts and introducing them to strong characters, we can broaden their perspectives on the rowed around them as they are taken to far off lands from the comfort of their chair!
The impact of reading with your child knows NO bounds! From better conversations to better written work, the impact of reading just for 15 minutes a day with your child can unlock so much.
As the children progress through the reading scheme they will have the opportunity to collect three certificates - bronze, silver and gold for every five books they read.
Below are the 15 books the children should read in Year 5:
