A Fond Farewell to Mrs Crocker
Mrs Crocker has been a part of the Broomfield family as a parent and a colleague for a number of years. After over 4 years in the school office, Mrs Crocker is leaving us for her next adventure. We thank her for all her dedication and hard work and we wish her all the very best for the future.
Dukes Club
2024 has been a fantastic year for children’s books. We have been through the latest batch of new releases and come up with a Top Twenty, divided into four categories. So whether you are buying for a bookworm or a reluctant reader, you can be sure each of them is worthy of a place under the Christmas tree.
Highlights
Christmas Carol Service
On Tuesday this week, children from Years 2 – 6 gathered at St. Anne’s Church to kick off the festive season with our annual Christmas Carol Service. Each year group contributed beautifully and we felt immense pride listening to their lovely singing and instrument playing. An extra ‘well done’ to Year 6 who read the nine lessons brilliantly, telling us the story of the birth of Jesus. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this wonderful occasion. A special thank you to Miss Fourie for organising and preparing everyone for the service.
Junior Christmas Performances
The Junior Christmas Performance videos are now available to download. Please do not share online including on social media.
Music Exam Results
It has been another busy week in the Music Department and apart from all the wonderful Christmas events, we have also received news of some excellent music piano exam results.
Brentford Sports Trust Assembly
Brentford FC Community Sports Trust held an inspiring assembly talking about the importance of their club values of togetherness, respect and progression which underpin everything they do. Togetherness means fostering a sense of community, working as a team, and supporting one another to achieve shared goals. Respect is about encouraging kindness, understanding, and fairness both on and off the pitch.
Eco Club
This week in Eco-Club the children released their worms back into the Broomfield House garden. Then they talked about how to make Christmas more eco- friendly. The children came up with some great ideas; from using recycled paper to wrap presents to buying their gifts from charity shops. Another lovely idea was to do a 'reverse advent calendar', where instead of buying more, the children could give something away to charity instead. The children also thoroughly enjoyed making eco-friendly decorations.
Pee Wee Karate Grading
Our Pee Wee Karate pupils have been working hard in preparation for their grading on Monday. We are incredibly proud of their progress - well done to all who took part!
Art Highlight
Year 3 used colouring pencils on black paper to create delightful designs of a baker making Christmas biscuits.
