Chronology takes a Leap Forward in Birch Class

Yesterday afternoon, Birch Class took on the challenge of getting to grips with historical timelines! Each group was given many different periods of history which they had to order.

The tricky part came when Birch class had to taken into account that some of the dates were BCE and some were CE. Using their new chronological awareness, the groups managed to set their timelines right, as Jorja can be seen doing here!

Excellent reciprocity, Birch class! Your new knowledge will come in handy during every single future history lesson!

Year 3 Travel Back in Time!

As part of Year 3's wow day on Tuesday, the children entered Broadford's time machine and were transported all the way back to the early age of man! The children were taken to their very own stone age dwelling and transformed its walls into a work of art!

They worked together to create some fabulous cave paintings, making sure to stay true to the time period they were in.

Some depicted brave warriors in battle while others decided to show a normal day's hunting in the life of a stone age man.

We are so impressed with the final result, definitely a piece of work to be very proud of! Great job Sequoia and Hazel!

Ash's aspirations

In Ash class we have discussed what we want to do well at this school year.


Last week, we discussed the importance of aspirations and having high expectations both in and outside the classroom.

We all want to try our best and make this 'the best year yet'.

In our classroom we have created a display to remind ourselves to 'aim for the moon'.


Year 4 Intrepid Explorers:

Miss Daly asked us:

'Imagine if you saw the moon for the first time in your rocket!'

Fun in the sun!

Year 4 have had a fantastic first 2 weeks back at school.

Keep up the excellent work.

Have a lovely weekend :)

Birch Start to Delve Deep into History

This week marked the start of year 4's new topic: the Roman Army!

With the help of multiple resources, Birch class pieced together numerous facts to start to create an idea of what life was during the Roman Empire. Sydney and Charis discovered that only rich families could afford to live in well-built houses, Summer Rose and Matthew found out that your parents (and not you) that would choose who your future wife or husband was, and Oliver H. and Jorja told the class that Romans all went to the toilet together! Yuck!

Good job, Birch class! For 20 housepoints, who can remember what a Roman solider's sword was called? Leave your answer in the comments section!
