Years 3 and 4 Light Up the Colour Run!

Our Year 3 and 4 children brought incredible spirit and energy to this year’s Colour Run! From the moment they set off, there was a fantastic buzz in the air as they powered through the course with determination and huge smiles.

With every step, splash of colour, and cheer from their peers, the children showed resilience, teamwork, and a brilliant sense of fun. They supported one another and truly embraced the celebration of movement and joy.

A massive well done to all our runners - you made the event unforgettable! Thank you to everyone who helped bring the Colour Run to life for Years 3 and 4.

 

Year 4 Games Afternoon 2025!

 At Broadford, we are committed to enriching our pupils’ learning by offering a carefully planned programme of experiences that broaden their horizons and help bring the curriculum to life. We recognise that many children may not always have access to such opportunities outside of school, so we aim to provide them here.

This Wednesday afternoon, Year 4 classes enjoyed board games that some had brought in and some we provided as a school. 

We were so proud of the children's reciprocity skills, working together and having fun - the teachers even joined in too!

"This is so fun playing together with my friends!" - Sultan

"The game was hard at first but Elizabeth helped me!" - Veronika

"I haven't played these games before these were amazing!" - Dani, Willow

Year 3 Visit Colchester Zoo!

 

On Tuesday, Year 3 had a wonderful day seeing all of the different animals at Colchester Zoo. 

First, the children had to decide within their groups which animals they would like to see and come up with the best route to take around the zoo. Then, we set off in our groups to find all of our favourite animals whilst learning lots of new and exciting facts along the way!

The children all got to have an up close and personal experience with the goats, and had the opportunity to feed and stroke them as they walked through the enclosure, this took resilience for some children, who had never experienced a large animal so close before. There was so much to do whilst at the zoo, including taking the zoo train into the lemur enclosure and feeding the parrots in the giant bird house! 

We finished the day with a lot of tired, but very happy children!

 My favourite part was being inside the tunnel and watching the sea lions - Loui, Ash Class

Seeing the elephants was amazing - Tommy, Cherry Class

Seeing the turtle was amazing - Success, Cedar Class
