The Broomfield Inter-House Swimming Gala will be held at Teddington Swimming Pool on Wednesday 6th March at 1.30pm. Children from Years 4 – 6 will be swimming in one or more events.

Please send your child to school in their games kit with their swimsuits, goggles and a towel. Strictly no parents are allowed in the changing rooms at any time. Parents and all spectators will watch from the balcony. Please remember that the spectator gallery spaces are limited to one spectator per child.
The Gala is expected to finish by 3:15pm, when Mr Anstey will present the winning House Captain with the Inter-House Swimming Gala trophy. Your children will be ready for collection no later than 3:30pm; they will be dismissed by their class teachers from the reception area into the outside area. If you cannot collect your child from the pool, we will bring them back to school for dismissal. Please let the school office know if you child will be returning to school with the staff. All clubs will run as normal and any child taking part in a club will be taken back to school for it. Please do not stand in the reception area waiting for your child; this is a request from the Teddington pool management. Therefore, please wait outside. We look forward to seeing you all there.

Kindergarten Trip
Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes had so much fun visiting PICNIC a role-play experience on Wednesday. They immersed themselves into the small world play. Some children became chefs, some hairdressers and other became theatre performers! They also particularly liked performing on the stage and working on a construction site. We were impressed with the children’s imaginative ideas, conversations and collaborative play. (Pictures to follow next week)
Gold Medal
Fantastic news reached us that on Saturday, Gigi and Ollie knocked the current national champions from the top spot and got gold! Their scores collected throughout the league have left them in 1st place entering nationals with the high possibility of becoming the new national champions 😊. Congratulations – we are very proud!
