Mulberry Spinebreakers Visit The Library

Our Mulberry class Spinebreakers headed to Harold Hill Library last week to choose a selection of new books to share with the pupils of Broadford. During their visit, they enjoyed reading some of the books the library had to offer - Jayden particularly liked Professor Astro Cat's Human Body Odyssey. He discovered that the pupils in your eyes are larger when in dim light and smaller in bright light!

Rowan Spinebreakers invited Theia along to the library to read and review some of the fantastic books borrowed from the library. Theia and Lorena heard the story of Bing's Birthday Party by Rebecca Gerlings. Lorena gave this story a 1-star-rating, whereas Theia gave it 5 stars! Thomas read and reviewed Elizabeth Dales' Robot Gets it Wrong. All three reviews are now on display in the library - please take a look next time you visit.

101 Dalmatians Project - Year 3

The pupils in Year 3 kick started their 101 Dalmatians project this afternoon with biscuit-decorating, mask-making and poster-creating fun!

For the next term and a half, Year 3 will work in partnership with pupils from Brookside Primary School to take part in activities based on the story of 101 Dalmatians. The project is split into three sections - each focusing on a different area of the story. For the first part, the activities are all creative-based. Year 3 have been split into four groups and will take it in turns to spend their Monday afternoon in the hall building on their knowledge of the story.

In preparation for this project, they watched the original 1961 movie last week; and have begun reading the story created by Dodie Smith in their classes.
