Weekly Newsletter - Friday 21st May


Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls 

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week the children have had the opportunity to try out the new equipment and they all had a great time. We are thrilled to be able to bring back some exciting outside activities for the children. However, please keep pupils off of the equipment at the end of the day as we do not want any accidents to happen without proper and correct supervision out there. Thank you all for your co-operation in this matter.

I must also ask that parents/carers do not bring dogs onto the school premises when collecting children from school. We do have pupils who have allergies or who have anxiety around animals and we do not want to cause them any worries when leaving the school. Thank you in advance for your co-operation in this matter.

Charity Donations
The Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund is our focus charity for this summer term. Your generosity from the Rockstar Number day and Eid day has raised £275, which is absolutely brilliant.
I am thrilled to announce that we have been approached by JFF Security and Solutions LTD, a company run by Mr Squibb, one of our parents and they have agreed to price match any funds raised. This takes our current total to £550. Wow!
We are looking forward to our sponsored event next half term. Look out for details which will be sent out after the school break.

Eid Mubarak at Broadford!

 


Dear parents and carers, 

The holy month of Ramadan is slowly coming to an end and Muslims all around the world will be celebrating Eid this week (depending on the sighting of the moon). At Broadford Primary School, we will be celebrating Eid in school on Friday 14th of May 2021. On this day, children are required to do the following:

- It will be non-uniform day on Friday 14th of May 2021. Please ensure that your child comes to school on the Friday in colourful clothes (sparkly, full of sequins, beautiful patterns).
- Children can bring 50p or £1 per family to donate to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

This is a great opportunity to make children aware of this exciting Muslim festival and encourage them to celebrate it at school. This will definitely improve their understanding of different cultures, they will be able to celebrate diversity and even learn something new. 

We are very excited to see all the fun activities that are going to take place and we cannot wait to share this with you. 

We cannot wait for all the fun that is in store for us on Friday!
