Broomfield House School Street

As a part of the launch of the School Street on Princes Road, we will be holding an assembly for the pupils on Wednesday 4 March to introduce the scheme and its benefits in a fun and engaging way for the children. The assembly will explain how reducing the number of cars at drop-off and pick-up on Princes Road will help improve road safety, support cleaner air and encourage active and sustainable travel such as walking, cycling, scooting and Park and Stride. Pupils will also learn that the scheme does not mean zero cars and will be reminded of key road-safety measures, including how to cross the road safely and how to stay visible when travelling in the dark.

Measles communication from NHS for schools

There has been an increase in measles in London recently and we have a small number of confirmed cases in young children in Kingston. This is of concern given the rising number of cases across London. The London outbreak has led to some children having to be hospitalised. 

Measles spreads very easily between people who are not vaccinated. Measles can be prevented by vaccination. All parents and carers want what is best for their child – if your child has missed any of their doses or you’re unsure, get in touch with your GP surgery. It’s never too late to catch up. 

See: NHS vaccinations and when to have them

Highlights

Pupil Experience

The Lunar New Year Celebrations in Year 1 were truly like no other! From the serene dance lesson, to the intricate calligraphy workshop, to the exciting chopsticks challenge and the paper flip game – it really was a unique and bespoke experience.

A special thank you to Emory’s Mum + Dad, Everly’s Mum, Cathie’s Mum + Dad and Bo’s Mum and Dad for your hard work, creativity, time and talents. This is a day that the children will cherish and a memory that will last them a lifetime. Should you wish to give calligraphy a go yourself, Plassroom x PB Calligraphy comes highly recommended!

Eco Club - Global Recycling Day

This week we were talking all things recyclable to celebrate Global Recycling Day on Monday 2 March.  There are so many more opportunities to recycle old used materials and products – such as old coffee granules from coffee shops to hair clippings from hairdressers and even old used flip flops from your summer holiday.

And the members of Eco club would like Broomfield to do their bit – there is now a box in reception and we are asking the students and teachers of Broomfield to bring in any old pens and post them in the box.  All pens welcome from biros to felt tips to high-lighters. Once the box is full we can send it off for the pens to be recycled.  Our Eco ambassadors spent some time making amazing eye catching posters to inform their fellow classmates.

Lunar New Year in Year 5

In Year 5, Steven made a fabulous presentation about how he and his family celebrate Lunar New Year.  It is customary for families to welcome the New Year by watching the sunrise but unfortunately, it was too cloudy here, so his grandfather sent a fabulous image of sunrise from the top of a mountain in Korea!
