Y1 & Y2 Poetry Recital

We warmly welcome all Year 1 and Year 2 parents to join us for one of the highlights of the school year: our annual Key Stage One Poetry Recital. This much-loved Broomfield tradition is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate every child’s confidence, creativity and achievement. The recital will begin promptly at 9:00am and will last for approximately one hour. Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time and is dressed in their full school uniform. This will give the children time to settle into the morning and help calm any pre-performance nerves. Over the coming days, we encourage you to support your child by listening to them recite their poem at home, paying particular attention to pace, expression and tone. Your encouragement and practice will help them feel confident and prepared for the recital. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing what promises to be a fantastic event, providing a fitting celebration to end another highly successful year.

Senior Show Details

Thank you so much for all your support with costume preparation and helping your children learn their lines, it’s so appreciated. We’re incredibly excited to share the final performance of Aladdin with you next week. Please see plan attached to the bottom of this email. As previously mentioned, the Senior Musical is a special swansong for our Year 6 children, marking the culmination of their 8 years at school. To reflect this, Year 6 families may book up to four tickets total, with a maximum of two tickets per performance. Year 5 families are allocated two tickets, which can be used either for one performance or split between both performances. The ticket booking deadline is Tuesday 30th of June at 2:00pm. This allows us time to review capacity and offer any remaining tickets to Year 4 families. It also helps us provide accurate numbers to the catering team for interval canapés and refreshments.

A few important reminders:

• Costumes should be brought into school on Monday 29th of June. They will remain at school for the entire week to ensure everything is ready for the performances.
• Y4 and Y5 – please wear neutral clothing for the performances, white and beige colours with white trainers

Year 6 BBQ – 7 July 

A reminder that the Year 6 children will have a BBQ in school on Tuesday 7 July. Mr Anstey and Mrs Wrigley-Smith have planned a fun evening. The children can come directly from their class at the end of the day (so parents don’t need to come at 3:30pm). The children can be collected at 5pm from the Princes Road gate.

The Year 6 children will have their Awards Morning on Thursday 9 July. The event will start at 9am and run until 10:20am. Parent should enter via the Princes Road gate at 8:55am and take their seats on the bottom patch.

On Monday 29th June, we will be hosting two informal Meet the Teacher coffee mornings. These sessions are designed to give parents and carers a warm and relaxed opportunity to get to know your child’s new teaching team ahead of the new school year. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident, and these mornings are a great way to begin building those positive connections. 

During the sessions, you will have the chance to meet the teachers and support staff who will be working with your child, learn a little about classroom routines and expectations, and share any helpful information you feel is important. 

8:30 – 9am, Monday 29th June: KS2: Year 3 – Year 6 (Pond Patch) 

The excitement is building! With the track painted and heats run, we’re all set for our annual Sports Day on Tuesday, July 7, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM. The weather forecast looks good, and we’re looking forward to a fantastic day of competition and fun at Old Deer Park. 

Here’s some important information to help you and your child prepare: 

What Your Child Needs 

Your child will be bringing home their House T-shirt on Monday. Please ensure they wear this to school on Wednesday, along with the rest of their sports kit. Don’t forget their red sports cap and a water bottle. If it’s warm and sunny, please apply plenty of sun cream before school. Children should arrive at school on Wednesday morning at the normal time. 

Joining Us at Old Deer Park 

Sports Day events kick off promptly at 9:30am at Old Deer Park. Parents are very welcome to join us and can take seats in the stand upon arrival. 

Please note: There is no parking available at the venue. We strongly encourage you to walk or use public transport if possible. If you need to drive, please park in the neighbouring roads, being mindful of local parking restrictions. 

Event Schedule & Spectator Information 

The children will walk to Old Deer Park with their classes, arriving around 9:15 AM, ready for the field events to begin at 9:30 AM. Once the children are in position, spectators will be invited down from the stand to watch from the marked viewing areas on the field. For everyone’s safety and to ensure clear viewing, please remain within the parent viewing areas at all times and avoid crossing any boundary lines during events. 

After the field events conclude, the track events will take place. Spectators will then be asked to return to their seats in the stand overlooking the track. We expect the track events to finish around 12:30 PM, followed by the presentation of the Winners Shield once all points and results have been tallied. 

After Sports Day 

Once Sports Day concludes, the children will walk back to school for lunch and their afternoon lessons. 

Important Note on Afternoon Games: 

• As Sports Day takes place on Wednesday morning, there will be no Games session on Wednesday afternoon. Therefore, pick-up for Year 4 to 6 children will be at 3:30 PM from school as normal. 

• For children in Years 2 and 3, there will also be no Games lesson on Thursday, as they will have participated in Sports Day on Wednesday. 

Refreshments 

The members’ bar at Old Deer Park will be open throughout the day, and parents are welcome to purchase drinks, including tea and coffee. We kindly request that no alcohol is consumed during Sports Day events. 

We are incredibly excited to welcome you to this fantastic event and hope your children have a memorable day filled with wonderful Broomfield memories! 

We have completed another fantastic term of Run Club. The children have shown great determination each week, pushing themselves and embracing the benefits of this active club.

We are so excited to welcome all families to Broomfield’s Big Birthday Bash tomorrow – we cannot wait to celebrate this milestone with you all!

Please find attached:
