Year 3 Christmas Play
Dear Parents,
If your child has a speaking part, kindly send them in on Monday 8th December, 2025 with their costumes, as we are filming.
The children without speaking parts will need to bring their Christmas jumpers in their bags for them to change into before filming.
Please note that the actual dates for the Christmas Play remain as published on the tickets sent home.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Year 3 Team

It's been an excellent week in Year 3 and the children have been working hard to make progress in their learning.
Let's look at the story of this week...
In Literacy, the children have been retelling the story of 'Stone Age Boy' through their independent writing tasks. This piece of writing allowed them to demonstrate their knowledge of the story, whilst also changing some elements of it. The children were able to effectively use expanded noun phrases to add additional detail to their writing, whilst also remembering to write in paragraphs. Well done everybody!
In Maths, the children used their knowledge of adding and subtracting using the column method to subtract a 2 digit number from a 3 digit number, before moving on to work on complements to 100 and using inverse operations. It's certainly been a busy week in Maths
Finally, the children have been preparing for their Christmas Concert performances next week. The Year 3 team wish the children the very best of luck!

Christmas Carolling in the Community
.jfif)
This week, our wonderful Year 4 children had the special opportunity to visit the local care home and share some festive joy with the residents. After practising their songs at every opportunity, the children were excited and ready to spread some Christmas cheer!
Once at the care home, the children began singing their carefully rehearsed carols, and smiles quickly spread across the room. The residents and staff couldn’t help but join in, singing, clapping, and even dancing along with the children. The atmosphere was full of warmth, happiness and that magical Christmas sparkle that happens when people come together.
The children represented our school beautifully, demonstrating confidence, kindness, and a real sense of community. Well done, Year 4! You were all absolutely amazing and should feel incredibly proud of yourselves for making such a positive difference.
What a wonderful way to celebrate the season—through music, togetherness, and the true spirit of giving.
"I love that I recognised people from when i've read to them." - Moyo, Elm
"Did you see man singing and dancing along? He was so happy" - Vikyhat, Elm
"I liked that the people all enjoyed it so much. We had fun too!" - Ronnie

Maple swimming permissions 2026
Year 4 2025-26 Swimming Lessons
In Year 4 the children will be having swimming lessons at the Central Park Leisure Centre.
All parents/carers, please complete Google Form.
Each class will have one half an hour session each week in a block.
Maple: Commencing in Spring. Date TBC
Maple class should get roughly 10 sessions each (STC) which will ensure they achieve the swimming requirements of the national curriculum in KS2 which are to:
- swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 meters
- use a range of strokes effectively
- perform a safe self-rescue in different water based situations
The children will leave school in the afternoon, accompanied by Year 4 staff, and we will make our way to Central Park Leisure Centre on foot. We will return to school before the end of the school day.
Your child will need:
Swimming costume or swimming trunks (no bikinis please!)
A towel
A named bag to carry and store their items in
A swimming hat
Goggles (not essential, but can be worn if preferred)
Children should come to school in their uniform and will get changed when we arrive at Central Park Leisure Centre. Please note, no aerosols or powders should be given to children, as these can cause problems for children with asthma.
All children, regardless of ability, will be taking part in swimming lessons as they are a National Curriculum requirement. Children will only be exempt from lessons with a signed and dated doctor’s note or certificate.
If you have any questions or queries about this or any other swimming related issue, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Year 4 team via year4@broadford.havering.sch.uk.
Learning journey- Year 3
This week, the children have been exploring how punctuation can bring their reading to life. We looked closely at full stops, commas, question marks, and exclamation marks — tiny symbols that make a big difference!
Through shared reading, drama activities, and partner practice, the children discovered how pausing at a comma or raising their voice at a question mark can completely change the meaning of a sentence. They had great fun experimenting with expression, especially when reading aloud this week’s story.
As their confidence grew, the children began to notice punctuation more independently and used it to guide their tone, pace, and understanding.
