Thank you to the Friends of Broadford who organised the Christmas Bazaar. This well attended event gave our pupils a whole range of great opportunities:
- helping on stalls
- volunteering for a community event
- speaking to customers
- selling craft work they had created in clubs
- performing songs in public
- meeting Father Christmas
We loved getting to help on the toy stall. Lots of kids in my class helped by donating toys. Then we sold them at the Bazaar to help raise money for the school. I had to label up the toys, speak to the customers and then work out the change!

In the Hama Beads Club, the children have been making Christmas decorations ready for the Bazaar. It is a great opportunity for them to develop a sense of entrepreneurship and practise their maths skills with handling money. By volunteering their time to help on the stall to sell their wares, the club makes a real contribution to the fundraising.
I felt very proud when someone chose my decoration. I had made a Christmas Pudding from beads to hang on the tree. One lady bought three of them!

It wouldn't be a Christmas event without a performance from the Choir. Led by Miss Tynan, the children sang four festive tunes. This was a good warm up opportunity - on home turf - before the choir goes out around the Borough to perform for the sheltered housing Christmas meals. This year we have more than eight separate bookings!
When we first started doing these events, I felt nervous. But now that I've sung in the O2, been to the Queen's Hospital and visited the old people's home I don't get nervous any more. It is great to see how much people enjoy us singing to them. I get a real buzz!

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend this great event and start the Christmas calendar off with a bang.
