Year 4 experience board games

 



Today, Year 4 children completed one of their 48 Experiences at Broadford. During this exciting session, they had the opportunity to design and create their own board games.

The children chose a selection of popular game styles, including Snakes and Ladders, memory games, and themed tracks to follow. Working in small groups, they demonstrated excellent reciprocity and oracy skills, collaborating thoughtfully, sharing ideas, and listening carefully to one another as they brought their creations to life.

Following the design process, the children wrote a clear set of instructions to explain how to play their games, showing their understanding of structure and audience.

They all had a fantastic day and should be very proud of their teamwork, creativity and effort!

Year 3 Walk to Dagnam Park

 This week, our Year 3 pupils enjoyed a scenic walk to Dagenham Park. Starting from the school gates, the children practised their observational skills by sketching key landmarks and points of interest along the route. Once at the park, they took in the serene atmosphere of the woods, with some even taking a moment to sit and relax. Well done, Year 3!





Year 4 The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane






This week in Year 4, the classroom has been full of imagination, discussion, and thoughtful writing as the children focused on developing their storytelling skills. They have been practising how to start sentences with fronted adverbials and similes, using these to set the scene and create mood for the reader. 

Alongside this, the children explored how to add dialogue to their writing so the reader could find out more about the characters. They learnt how speech can reveal feelings, build relationships, and move the story forward. Through carefully chosen conversations, Edward Tulane and the characters he met were brought to life.

After practising these skills, the children wrote their own chapter for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Each child planned a brand-new adventure, taking Edward on his next journey into the unknown. To finish, they crafted a cliffhanger, cleverly leaving the reader guessing what might happen next. The results were creative, exciting, and full of suspense—showing just how much the children have grown as confident and capable writers.





"I loved pretending to be the characters to turn it into dialogue for our story." Alexandra, Maple 








                      " It was exciting creating our own adventure for Edward."   Munsha, Willow

"I am really proud of my atmosphere I built up! about grandma's house." - Chirag, Elm
