Super Sports Day!

 

Year 4 had an incredible afternoon of sporting fun, teamwork, and friendly competition as they took part in our Sports Day. Competing proudly for their four houses, the children showed great enthusiasm and determination as they tested their sporting abilities in a range of exciting events.

From fast-paced relay races and carefully balanced egg and spoon races to accurate bean bag throwing and skilful hockey stick dribbling challenges, the afternoon was filled with excitement, smiles, and plenty of laughter. Every child embraced the opportunity to take part, cheer on their teammates, and celebrate each other’s achievements.

Throughout the afternoon, the children demonstrated our 4R skills brilliantly. They showed reciprocity by working together and encouraging their house teams, resourcefulness by thinking creatively and adapting to each challenge, reflectiveness by considering how they could improve their performances, and resilience by persevering and giving their best, even when faced with difficult tasks.

Perfect PE

 

This term, our Year 4 children have been diving into an exciting dance topic during their PE lessons, using movement to bring secret missions to life! They’ve been learning how to use balance and body shapes to create striking poses, working both individually and in groups. Through teamwork and creativity, they’ve combined these elements into dynamic spy-themed dance routines – sneaking, sliding, and striking dramatic shapes just like agents on a top-secret mission. It’s been a fantastic way to develop coordination, confidence, and collaboration – all while having loads of fun!

Spectacular Sports Day

 

Last Friday, year 3 had some fun filled activities to complete during sports day! They were able to participate in activities such as football dribbling, vortex throwing, hurdle races and the most favourite of all, tug of war! The children demonstrated 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 had a fabulous afternoon!

We would like to say a big thank you to all of the parents and carers that attended for your support and encouragement. 

It was tricky to throw the vortex - Maya

I had so much fun working with my team mates - Harry

Everyone tried their best to win the race! - 

Year 3 and 4 New Age Kurling

  

Year 3 and 4 New Age Kurling

New Age Kurling is a new event (put on by the Havering Sports Collective) that Broadford Primary School entered this school year. The children were very excited and represented the school fantastically well. 

We played many games against other schools, where we showed great passion and reciprocity throughout.

Well done Broadford for coming joint second in their group!

 

👏

Rain Dance!

 

As part of the children's experiences whilst at Broadford, Year 3 had a fabulous time dancing in the rain.

The children were eagerly awaiting the rain to come all morning, then finally, just after break the rain made a welcome appearance, and the children quickly made their way outside.

The children were very resourceful and used their imaginations when dancing, twirling and singing in the rain!

"I did the moonwalk in the rain!" - Bentley 

"I love to dance!" - Edie 

"We could see a rainbow coming. " - Rehan

Delightful Dancing

 

This half term in Year 3, the children have started the new topic of dance in their PE lessons. This has been based around industrial dance, leading the children to consider the jerky movements that machinery can make. They have spent time working solo, in pairs and small groups, moving and creating sequences of eight beats to represent different machines. Using their resourcefulness skills, they have put these movements to music and presented them to their peers.

"We can spin one way and then the other like cogs." - Alexandra and Zyana

"It was fun moving like a robot." - Ayra

"I enjoyed working in a group in PE." - Harry

Year 3 & 4 Racket Pack

 

 Year 3 and 4 Racket Pack 

Racket Pack was an event full of badminton activities. Each activity needed to show teamwork to get the task completed. This was proven due to Broadford receiving a certificate for polite manners and gaining confidence throughout the event.

Well done Broadford!

Y4 Fantastic Footballers

 A fantastic group of Year 4 pupils recently took part in a highly competitive tournament, joining dozens of schools from across Havering. Their performance was nothing short of outstanding, not only for their skill and determination but also for their exceptional sportsmanship and teamwork. 

From the very first whistle, these young athletes demonstrated true grit, supporting one another, lifting each other's spirits, and showing respect to their opponents. With every pass, goal, and cheer, they embodied the values of fair play and unity, leaving a lasting impression on everyone involved. 

Their remarkable team spirit made them true champions, both on and off the field!  Well done, boys!
