Dear Parents and Carers,
Part 1 Broadford News
BPS Mini Marathon: Thursday 23rd April
Yesterday, all of our pupils took part in a fantastic Mini Marathon, completing 26 minutes of physical activity. Whether walking, jogging or running around the playground or trail, every child showed great enthusiasm and determination. Activities were thoughtfully adapted so that everyone could take part and succeed. We are so proud of their effort, resilience and positive attitude!
Good luck to year 5&6 runners taking part in the mini marathon tomorrow morning and Miss Wyatt who is running the London Marathon on Sunday. Can’t wait to see you all cross the finish line.
Thank you to everyone who has collected money and sponsored our pupils for this event. You have already raised over £1200! THANK YOU! If you have any sponsorship money that hasn’t been collected and sent in yet please do this next week so that we work out the final total!
