Year 4 Easter Bonnets

 

Year 4 Easter Bonnet Celebration

This week, our Year 4 children took part in a wonderfully creative and joyful Easter tradition – designing and making their very own Easter bonnets!

From the very beginning, the children approached this project with great enthusiasm and care. Each design was carefully thought out, with pupils taking time to plan how their bonnets would look and what materials they would need. It was fantastic to see such thoughtful preparation, with children bringing in a wide range of resources to bring their ideas to life.

The results were truly impressive. Every bonnet was unique, creative, and beautifully made, showcasing the children’s imagination and effort. From bright spring flowers and colourful eggs to chicks, bunnies, and intricate patterns, the variety of designs was amazing.

One of the highlights of the experience was when the children had the opportunity to present their bonnets to the class. They spoke confidently about their creations, explaining how they made them and the ideas behind their designs. It was a wonderful moment to celebrate not only their creativity but also their growing confidence in speaking and sharing with others.

To top it all off, the children took part in a delightful Easter Bonnet Parade. Accompanied by music, they formed a cheerful procession, proudly showing off their fantastic creations. There were smiles all around as they enjoyed this special moment together.

We are incredibly proud of the effort, creativity, and enthusiasm shown by all of our Year 4 pupils. Thank you to parents and carers for your support in helping the children bring their wonderful ideas to life – it truly made the event extra special!

We hope you enjoy seeing the bonnets as much as we did!

Here are the spellings for the week commencing 23/03/26

Year 3 What We Are Learning

 This week, Year 3 explored a big question: How do Christians decide how to live? The children learned that Christians often find direction through the teachings of the Bible, praying for guidance, the Holy Spirit, and the support of their Christian community. We discussed how Christians might also ask themselves the following questions when making choices:

• Does the Bible say it is okay?

• Would Jesus do it?

• Is it loving towards others?

To bring this to life, our class took part in a fantastic "Values Scavenger Hunt." They looked at real-life scenarios they might actually face—like being accidentally tripped during a football match—and worked out which of Jesus' teachings (such as forgiveness) would help solve the problem. They thoroughly enjoyed matching the scenarios to the right values and impressed us all with their deep thinking. A huge well done to Year 3!

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. 

Elm:  Commencing in Summer. Date TBC

Elm 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.

Year 3- Certificates (week 3)

 

This week in our lessons, the classrooms have been full of busy, curious learners. The children have been actively exploring new ideas through hands-on activities and exciting experiments. Their enthusiasm for discovering how things work has led to thoughtful questions, teamwork, and plenty of problem-solving. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they investigate, experiment, and share what they have learned. These children have earned certificates for their hard work this week.
