Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls
Dear Parents and Carers,
Part 1 Broadford News
Don’t forget the clocks Spring forward this weekend. Longer and brighter days are ahead!
University of Broadford Graduation
Thank you for joining us this week to celebrate all of the achievements of our pupils. The University of Broadford is an opportunity for children to learn new skills and work alongside new pupils to develop their reciprocity skills. The staff enjoy it just as much as the pupils and we are all looking forward to UoB sports addition in the summer term.
Your child will be bringing home their official graduation photograph before the end of the term.
Easter
The end of the Spring term is next week. To mark the occasion all pupils will be taking part in an easter egg hunt during the week beginning 31st March and we will be hosting Broadford’s Easter parade on Wednesday 2nd April. We are inviting all pupils to take part in designing, making and wearing with pride an Easter bonnet/hat. It is £1 to enter the competition and this will contribute towards our fundraising total this year.
The bonnet/ hat could be made from card, paper, or use a baseball cap/sunhat/woolly hat as a base. Then allow your child to decide what they would like on their hat, it could be flowers, signs of new life such as Lambs, chicks and chocolate eggs. It can be anything linked to Easter.
We can’t wait to see all of the creations in school on Wednesday 2nd April. Happy crafting!
Culture and Religion Day - Friday 4th April
Broadford Primary School is a diverse school with over 30 different nationalities. We are inviting pupils to wear clothing or bring an item which best represents their culture or religion on the 4th April to celebrate the diversity of our school.
Easter Raffle
Tickets are still on sale for our easter raffle and are priced at £1.00 a strip and can be bought from the school office. The raffle will be drawn on Tuesday 2nd April live via Facebook and winners will be published on our blog. We have lots of lovely Easter eggs to be won.
Mothers’ Day Sale
We received an amazing response to the Mother’s day sale and all of the money raised will go towards our annual fundraising total.
We would like to wish all the Mum’s, Nannies, sisters, aunties and anyone taking on the role a wonderful Mother’s day. Enjoy and celebrate in style!
