Homework for 2013-2014

Homework:

This approach started yesterday. Every class from Year 1- Year 6 will be expected to work on three areas each week. It should take approximately 15-20mins for each of them, which means an hour of homework per night:
  • Practice your spellings 
  • Go through your times tables 
  • Read your book, magazine, paper 
In addition the children may choose to do additional work on either a topic of their choice or one being covered in class. We will soon be launching the Broadford Learning Challenge for each Year Group. This will be a fun way to improve the children’s general knowledge and will help you to find inspiration for additional learning topics. More details will follow soon.

The vast majority of our pupils do this consistently. We are now going to provide a prize draw. If they bring in their reading record and spellings books every week they will have the chance to win a trip to London to visit a famous landmark: The Shard, London Eye, Mittal Orbit, Tower 42, Duck Tour or one of the many other London attractions.

Student Support Centre - Money for School

Dear parents
The Student Support Centre has asked us to distribute leaflets this afternoon. As a reward for publicising their service, we will receive £100. This money will be placed in the children's playground equipment fund. However it is possible to boost this money:

50% bonus if between 31-50% of pupils reply

100% bonus if more than 51% of pupils reply

Please can you make sure that you fill in and return the slip so that we can reach the maximum amount of £150. This is no cost to you and just gives us extra funds for the playground fund.

Completed forms back by Thursday 12th September!

Thank you for your support

Did you know that there is no wind on the moon? This means that the footprints and tyre tracks from the last lunar expedition will still be there now!

Did you know that if a Daddy Long Legs could bite it would kill you? They are extremely poisonous but luckily they don’t have the ability to bite… what a relief!

We're In The Paper: Chloe's Karate Fundraiser

Congratulations to Chloe, who managed to complete a 24hr Karate Rally during the summer holidays. With the help of her karate club she contributed to raising almost £3,000 for cancer research.

"The event was a lot of fun. Although I had to stay up for ages, I didn't feel tired." Chloe - aged 8

Unbelievably Chloe had injured her toe just before the holiday. Despite this recent injury she played a full part in proceedings and was overjoyed to see her face in the paper. Well done Chloe!
