Year 4 2023/2024 Swimming

 

Year 4 2023/2024 Swimming Lessons

In Year 4 the children will be having swimming lessons at the Central Park Leisure Centre. 

Each class will have a thirty minute session every week. The sessions will be taught in blocks. 

Elm will be the first class to go for their swimming sessions. This will be followed by the other two classes.

All Elm parents/carers, please complete Google Form attached below:

Swimming Consent Form

We expect this to run for the whole year, meaning each 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 by approximately 3.05pm/ 3.15pm and children will be leaving from the front of the school by the office.

A reminder of what your child will need to bring:

• 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

Bonjour from Year 3!

Year 3's Fabulous French!

Year 3 have worked incredibly hard all year learning a new language. Recently, we have been applying our French vocabulary of numbers and colours to describe things such as clothing and animals. We always begin our lesson by greeting eachother in French and asking eachother how we are and replying! We have completed lots of practical learning where we focus on our pronounciation and fluency and written work where we work on our spelling of new French words.

I'm sure lots of the pupils would love to share what they have learnt with you so please as them to teach you a few new words.

Year 3's Spectacular Sports Day 2023!

 

On Tuesday, year 3 completed different fun filled activities for their sports day! They participated in activities such as football dribbling, vortex throwing, hurdle races and the most favourite of all, tug of war! The children showed fantastic reciprocity skills by working together in their houses and cheering each other on as well as great resilience skills when tackling each activity. Everyone in year 3 enjoyed their day. 

We want to say a big thank you to all of the parents that could make it for your support and encouragement.
