Classes full at Broadford!

The number of children on roll has been steadily increasing since last year. We are delighted to announce that our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes are now full! Spaces across the rest of the school are also limited so prospective parents are advised to approach the school and Local Authority quickly. Once we move into the state of the art new building in late October we expect those places to be filled. Already this term Years 1,2, 5 and 6 have been out on trips. The children have enjoyed a theatre workshop and are looking ahead to the visit of the Bug Man next week. Extra curricular clubs are also taking shape now with activities for Reception up to Year 6. Broadford Primary is the place to be.

Green House Takes The Lead

Congratulations to Green House (Cricklade) who emerged triumphant from the first full week of the House competition. With a score of 66 points they are now the team to beat. Each of the teams is desperate to ensure that they are top of the league by half term. Win and you earn cakes, biscuits and drinks! Lose and you have to serve the winners their prize. How do you earn points?
  • Make sure you're in uniform and smartly dressed
  • Use the magic words "Please" and "Thankyou"
  • Be kind to your classmates
  • Work quietly
Well done Green House... just watch out for the competition next week!

Firebird Flies Into Broadford!

Last Thursday the children from Year 1 -6 were entertained by the Multi Story Theatre company. With a range of innovative props and mesmerising acting, the pupils were transported to Russia where the Land of Plenty is ruled by a kindly Czar. From the story - which features a heroic prince - the children and teachers have drawn inspiration to complete a variety of activities. Collages of firebirds, role play and story writing: these are just some of the tasks they have used to extend the story in class. Following the tremendous feedback from pupils and staff the Theatre group will be returning next term... we can't wait!
