Weekly Newsletter - Friday 24th March, 2023

 


Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls 

Dear Parents and Carers,


Don’t forget the clocks Spring forward this weekend. Longer and brighter days are ahead!


End of Spring Term 

Just a reminder for all parents that the Spring term ends on Friday 31st March  at 3.10 pm for all pupils. We return to school for the summer term on Monday 17th April with breakfast club starting at 7.45 am and for all other pupils the gates will be open at 8.30 am. 


University of Broadford
We are sadly coming to the end of our Broadford University courses and what a great 10 weeks we have had. I have seen so many happy, smiling children, bursting to tell me all about the wonderful things they have been learning at their University of Broadford sessions. The children have all shown great resilience and reciprocity while working through their courses and we couldn't be prouder of how much they have all achieved.
We would now like to invite you in to celebrate your child’s achievements. The dates and start times for each course are as follows. This year the University of Broadford project included pupils from years 3-6.
Monday 27th March - 2pm Start
Creative Cards, Chess, Sock Cats
Tuesday 28th March - 2pm Start
I'm a Pupil Get Me Out Of Here, Dance, Get Fit Fridays, Show Stoppers
Wednesday 29th March - 2pm Start
Around The World In a Term, Fashionistas, Chromebook Crew, Lyrical Masters
Thursday 30th March - 2pm Start
Creative Writing, Cracking Clay, Comfy Cushions, Video Productions
We ask that  parents/carers wait at the lower gate on Faringdon Avenue, by the waiting area , a member of staff will be there to escort you in at the start time.
We look forward to welcoming you into school for our wonderful graduations.


After School Clubs 

The last after school club for the Spring term is today Friday 24th March. There are no after school clubs next week.

Easter
It is one week till we finish for the Easter break. I know that it feels like we have only returned from the Christmas break! However, to mark the occasion all pupils will be taking part in an easter egg hunt next week and we will be hosting Broadford’s Easter parade on Friday 31st March. 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/wooly 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 Friday 31st March. Happy crafting!


Fundraising
As you are aware we are holding a summer fete on Saturday 8th July. However, we need your help! We are looking for volunteers to help run stalls. If you can spare 30 mins or an hour we would very much appreciate your time.
Many thanks.

Mother’s Day Sale
We raised a staggering £964 from the Mother’s day sale last week. This will go towards our fundraising total for the year. Thank you all for your generosity. We hope that you enjoyed your gifts and that you enjoyed a lovely and relaxing Mother’s day.
