Pay For Dinner Tickets Online

Dear Parent / Carer

SCHOOL LUNCH TICKETS SALES - NEW SCHOOL MEAL PAYMENT METHOD VIA DEBIT/CREDIT CARD 

We are pleased to inform you that your child’s school is to be included in a Debit/Credit Card payment system for School Meals, via our Head Office.

This means from Monday 20 February 2012 you will be able to call our debit/credit card line to pay for school meal tickets. You will be asked for the following details;

Debit/credit card details (a small charge is made for using credit cards).
Amount you wish to purchase (i.e. each meal is £1.95 drinks are 30p = £2.25)
Childs name and class number

 You can choose whether you will collect your tickets from the front of the ticket line, or whether they may be sent home, in a named-envelope, via your child’s book bag. (Obviously if you opt for your child to bring the tickets home, the tickets become your responsibility and any lost tickets will not be the responsibility of the caterer or the school).
 The Debit card hot line number is 01708 433119, and will be open from 9.30am till 3pm, term-time only.

 Dinner tickets will still be available for sale (using cash) on Monday and Wednesday mornings (8.15-8.45) from the School double doors at the bottom of the pedestrian pathway.

 If you have any questions regarding this payment system, please contact our catering office on the number shown above.

Broadford Bulls Blast Competition

Today saw the Havering Schools Basketball competition - which was hosted by the YMCA. Led by Mrs Higginson and Mrs Byrne, the children had high hopes of competing well in the group. Dribbling, shooting and passing skillfully the children made short work of Scotts in their first game.

Afterwards there was a physical encounter with a strong St Joseph's team. However the children did not let it bother them and they bounced into the final match.

Unfortunately Parklands were just to quick and it was difficult to win the ball back.

Match 1 Broadford 8 Scotts Primary 2

Match 2 Broadford 2 St Josephs 10

Match 3 Broadford 0 Parklands 6

Without a doubt the children performed brilliantly and enjoyed the competition. Well done to the Broadford Bulls!

Nursery Celebrations - St George's Day

In our Nursery this week the staff and children had a great day learning about St George and the tale of the Princess & the Dragon. First Miss Hopwood, Mirs Light and Mrs Chisholm dressed up to reenact the famous tale. Afterwards the children made a delicious cream tea. Fighting dragons makes you hungry didn't you know?

Holly Flies the Flag

One of our Key Stage 1 pupils had the amazing honour of being allowed to carry the flag during the recent St George's Day parade. Striding proudly through streets Holly did a great job of representing her Beavers troop.
"I was really excited to carry the flag... but it was quite heavy!" Holly

Outbreak of Green Finger @ Broadford!

Tuesday saw the launch of our new gardening club - which we are very excited about. Staffed by Mrs Chiswell and Miss Rutherford (who are being very ably assisted by Mr Seabrook....) the club is charged with taking care of the flower beds at the front of the school.

Armed with trowels, spades and rakes the children made quick work of clearing the weeds. Before long there was a very competitive worm spotting competition taking place. Samson found an absolute monster... but they left it alone to get on with aerating the soil!

Over the next few weeks the children will begin to plant all the beds so that we will soon be enjoying Broadford in Bloom. Well done everyone, the work so far looks fantastic.

Performing Arts Club Get Dramatic

This week, the attendees at Performing Arts Club, led by Miss McGuinness, Miss Rutherford and Miss Reynolds, were given scenarios from famous fairy tales or nursery rhymes and given alternative scenarios.

The poor Wolf (played by Patrycja) from The Three Little Pigs was no longer big and bad, as he had lost his huff and puff. Snow White (played by Bobbi) had her work cut out for her when the Seven Dwarfs came down with a nasty case of chicken pox, and Humpty Dumpty (played by Connor) had a modern day twist with a gangster personality and a sudden new found sense of balance.

The children all performed to one another and are brushing up on their acting skills in preparation for another outstanding performance later on in the Summer.
