Sports Afternoon

A big thank you to all parents and carers who attended our sports afternoon this week. After a couple of attempts due to the weather, we got there in the end! 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. 

Thank you all for your cooperation and patience.

The fundraising disco’s on Tuesday were great and the children had a fantastic time. So did the staff and the parents who attended. We would like to say thank you to the parents who gave up their time to organise these for our pupils, we very much appreciate all of their time and efforts. In September, there will be further information regarding the fundraising group.

Breakfast Club - Essex After School
As per my email to parents at the beginning of the month I would like to remind you about changes to the breakfast club provision from September 2024.
The new breakfast club provision with Essex After Schools will open at 7.30am each day. There will be a wide variety of food options on offer including cereals, toast and fruit and a cooked option of pancakes accompanied by smoothies twice a week. The hall will be set out with a range of activities and resources for the children to access during their time at the club. The cost of the Breakfast Club will be £4.00 per day.
Parents can pay via their tax free childcare account. If you are eligible for Tax-Free Childcare, you can set up an online childcare account for your child. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will top up with £2 for you to use to pay your provider. Check your eligibility here https://www.gov.uk/get-tax-free-childcare

Breakfast club places for September can be booked via phone: 07831360485 or email essexafterschoolclubs@gmail.com.
If you would like your child to attend breakfast club you can no longer turn up you must book with Essex After Schools. 

Summer Reading Challenges

There are lots of fun reading activities that children can take part in over the summer holidays. 

Summer Reading Challenge Tracker: This week, all children received a copy of this year’s Broadford Summer Reading Challenge Tracker. Our trackers are bursting with ideas and ways of keeping your children  reading during your summer break away from school. Children should hand their completed trackers into the school library when they return to school in September for a special certificate!

National Summer Reading Challenge: This year's National Summer Reading Challenge theme is Marvellous Makers! Children are now able to sign up by visiting your  local library or signing up online by visiting their website - https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk If your child completes the challenge, let us know via our Facebook or Instagram accounts. Children who complete the challenge will be entered into a draw and will have the chance of winning a prize!

Get Caught Reading!: During the summer holidays, parents/carers and other family members look out for chances to ‘catch their child reading’. This can be a book or any other reading material, such as timetables, recipes or instructions. Children may be reading on holiday somewhere, snuggled up at home, in the local library, up a tree in the garden - the more creative, the better! The photos can then be shared via our social media platforms to celebrate the reading being done and to promote the competition to other families. We will choose one winner and one runner-up from each Key Stage. These lucky ones will be rewarded with a prize. All entries need to be in by Friday 6th September.

Facebook Summer Questions: As with previous summer holidays, we will share a reading-themed question with you every Friday during the holidays on our Facebook page. Simply leave your answers in the comments section and one person (with the correct answer) will be chosen at random to win a prize! The lucky winners will be announced on Mondays throughout the summer holidays. Prizes will be sent home during the first week back in September.


Reading Books
All school reading books, Read, Write, Inc books and library books should have been returned to school this week. If you haven’t returned your books yet please bring them into school on Monday.
