Part 1 Broadford News
Reports and Parents Evening
Your child’s end of year report will be sent home today. If you would like to discuss the report with your child’s class teacher all staff will be available from 3.30 pm on Monday 15th July. If you would like an appointment please email the year group email box, which is on the letter you will receive today. There is a feedback form which we would ask all parents to complete and send back to school by the end of the term. We warmly welcome your feedback and would love to hear if there is anything you feel we could improve.
Meet the New Teachers and Classes
Transition activities have been in full flow over the last few weeks in school. There will be blogs posted after school, which will be available to read via the school website and facebook. This information will include year group staff for September and there is a letter with your child’s report today informing you of your child’s new teacher and class name. On Tuesday 16th July, all pupils will have the opportunity to spend time with their new teachers in their new classrooms. I have no doubt you will hear all about it when you collect your child at the end of the day.
Year 6 Leavers
Year 6 enjoyed their leavers celebration this week and it was a wonderful occasion and a great time was had by all. Well done to year 6 who spoke, sung and presented like professionals. Thank you to the staff for putting it all together and many thanks to all of the parents who supported this occasion.
Year 6 Parents
Walk your child to school one last time this week. Even if they don’t want you to. Laugh about the sticks they used to collect or the painting they so carefully carried. Reminisce about their sports days and how funny they were in their nativity. Tell them how proud you are of them and how excited you are to see them grow. Remember how little their hand was when you held it on the first day of reception. Hold that hand again as you walk with them one last time.
You have done a great job.
Go Bonkers
Yesterday we had a fabulous day in school and pupils enjoyed their sessions on the inflatables and cooled down after all the bouncy fun with an ice cold popsicle
Uniform shop
A thank you to Mrs Crane and Mrs West for organising the uniform pop up shop on Monday this week. Thank you and well done to all parents who used this opportunity to get organised and purchase uniforms ready for September. We are aware that this saved many families paying a P&P charge. The event was very successful and hopefully we will be able to host another one in the future.
Sports Afternoon
A big thank you to all parents and carers who attended our sports afternoon on Monday this week. Everyone enjoyed themselves and there was a wonderful sense of sportsmanships from all of the young participants. Thank you also to the staff for organising and preparing the pupils for the event. We apologise once again that we had to cancel the years 2,3&4 and year 5 & 6 events due to the weather but I am happy to invite parents into school to enjoy the sports afternoon on Monday 15th July at 2pm.
Sports Afternoons
Unfortunately, we have had to reschedule some sports afternoons due to the weather. At the moment the forecast for Monday and Tuesday afternoon is looking good. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed over the weekend to ensure that we can go ahead with sports afternoons on Monday and Tuesday afternoons
Monday 15th July @ 2 pm - years 5&6
Tuesday 16th July @ 2pm - years 2,3&4
Next week we are inviting parents to join us for sports events to cheer on the pupils and celebrate their sportsmanship. Please see the arrangements and expectations below.
On their sports day, pupils must wear the school PE kit to school (navy blue shorts, plain white t-shirt with or without the Broadford logo, trainers or plimsolls and a sun hat). Sunscreen must be applied before school and children should bring a water bottle with them.
Please arrive on the allocated date and time and wait at the grey double doors to the left of the main school office.
The doors will be opened at 2.00pm and our year 6 prefects will be waiting to show you to the school field where the pupils will be ready to start.
If you arrive late and the sports event has already started, you may not be able to access the field, please arrive on time.
We would like to remind you that you are welcome to take photos of your own child. Please do not take videos or photographs of the whole class or groups of children and share them on social media. Not every parent gives permission for their children’s photographs to be shared on the internet. Class teachers will be taking photographs and will share these on the schools social media platforms for pupils who we have parental permission to do so.
Please encourage and cheer all pupils during the event.
Once the event has finished all pupils will go back to their classrooms to get ready to go home and you can wait for your child to be dismissed at their classroom door as usual.
We look forward to welcoming many of you next week which I have no doubt will be a wonderful event!
