Dear Parents and Carers,
Part 1 Broadford News
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.
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.
Easter
It is only a few weeks 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 during the week beginning 25th March and we will be hosting Broadford’s Easter parade on Thursday 28th 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/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 Thursday 28th March. Happy crafting!
Fundraising
Adventure Island Wristband - £15
We have 300 wristbands for Adventure Island priced at £15 each. This is a great day out for the whole family and at a reduced price. If you would like to purchase wristbands they are available from the school office before and after school, cash only please.
Summer Fete
After our successful fete last year, we are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting another fete this year on Saturday 15th June. Save the date!
Mother’s Day Sale
The response to our Mother’s day sale was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you all for your support and as a result we raised a fantastic £1625.95 which will go towards our fundraising total this year.
End of Term and After School Clubs
We break up for Easter on Thursday 28th March children will be dismissed at the usual time of 3.15pm. The summer term will resume on Monday 15th April, however, this is an INSET day. Pupils return to school on Tuesday 16th April.
Next week is the last week of clubs with the final session on Friday 22nd March.
