Once again school marked World Mental Health Day 2021 in conjunction with the #HelloYellow charity. We all came to school in yellow clothes and looked at activities that can boost our mental health. It was a great day, we all had some great fun but learnt how important it is to manage your mental health as well as your physical health! 

European Day of Languages 2021

On Monday 28th September 2021 we celebrated European Day of Languages throughout the school. All the children came dressed in the colours of their classes flag and the children investigated the languages, geography, culture and food of their chosen area of Europe. I cannot believe how quickly children picked up speaking Greek, Welsh, Spanish and French and I know they all enjoyed the taste testing! Well done Broadwas! 

MacMillian Cake Sale 2021

On Friday 24th September 2021 the children and staff all joined forces to raise money for MacMillian Cancer Support. The staff and children baked or bought cakes for a huge cake sale at the end of the day. It was a popular treat on a Friday and has so far raised over £180 for the charity. Thank you so much everyone for your baking, your donations and your kindness! 

Assemblies with Reverend Sherwin! 

This week we welcomed back Reverend Sherwin to school! It has been so long since we had seen him in the hall but it was a pleasure to welcome him back to our assemblies. He taught us a great deal about Love and Joy and we cannot wait till he is back with us again! Thank you Reverend Sherwin!

Break the Rules Day 2021

The children have all enjoyed a non-school uniform day with a twist. They were allowed a selection of rules to break for the day. The children came to school in sports kits, princess dresses or simply their favourite clothes from home. We also had a great deal of painted nails, hair bows and the odd sweets being eaten in school (and that was just the teachers). All the money raised will go towards our newly formed PTFA. A big thanks to Mrs Everett, Mr Smith and the rest of the PTFA for a fantastic event and a great first term!

Forest School Summer 2021

This term, due to the relaxing of the restrictions on trips, we have been enjoying our visits to Suckley Woods and starting our Forest School adventures again. All the children in the school have taken part in the trips this term as part of our Wellbeing support for the children after Lockdown. 

The children have all had a fantastic time! They have made dens, teacher traps and loved eating s'mores! We are looking forward to more trips next year and continuing our adventures! 

History Man 2021

As part of our Recovery Curriculum we were pleased to welcome to school 'The History Man'. It was fantastic to see the children engage in some wonderful topics ranging from The Tudors to World War 2. The children were able to handle artefacts and enjoy role playing events and games from the historical period. Priceless learning and precious memories have been made!

Now that COVID restrictions are starting to change the children in Year 5 and 6 have begun their swimming lessons once more. They are loving going back to the pool and are making great progress in their skills development! Well done all! 

Earth Day 2021

The children in school had a wonderful day during our first ever Earth Day. This event was organised by two children from Year 5 who believed we should be raising awareness about the impact we are all having on our environment. All the children came wearing a piece of green clothing. By doing this the children donated money towards the 'Earth Day' charity and to World Wildlife Fund. 

As a school the children looked at climate action, animal conservation and how we can control plastic pollution. We also had a class join in with the Blue Peter 'Climate Hero' challenge. Everyone in the class worked on a pledge and earnt themselves a Blue Peter badge each! 

We all loved the day and are looking forward to having it as a regular event on our school calendar!

We were also lucky enough to be joined by Donk the donkey. A special thanks to Mr and Mrs Parkes for brining Donk to school and helping us mark our Easter celebrations. 

A big congratulations to the winners of our Easter raffle. We hope you enjoy all the prizes and a big thanks to everyone for raising over £170 for our school library development!

The children brought in jokes to share and so far the school has raised over £150 for Comic Relief. Well done to everyone! 

World Book Day 2021

The children and staff at Broadwas enjoyed celebrating World Book Day both at home and at school. We looked at many different authors and at all the different types of texts that were offered through the World Book Day initiative. All the classes had a special 'World Book Day Google Meets' and shared the books they were reading at the time. 

We also launched a very special 'Ready, Steady Read' sponsored reading challenge. The school raised just over a £1000 to invest in our school library, a fantastic total! Thank you to all the children and parents who took part!

Internet Safety Week 2021

This week the children have been looking into the topic of online safety. We have explored the theme of  'An internet we trust: exploring reliability in the online world'. The children have carried out activities on Google Classroom and within school. We have also been lucky enough to have the support of our 'Agents of Technology' who have done a brilliant job of designing posters and videos to support the children. You can see all of this work by following the link below! Well done everyone! 

Children's Mental Health Week February 2021

During the first week of school in February we all took part in 'Children's Mental Health Week' organised by Place2Be. The children, both remotely and within school, took part in a virtual assembly and explored mental health during their PSHE sessions. We also launched our first 'Google Catch Up Meets' where the children joined their teachers online to share what they had been doing during the week. We were so happy with the meetings that we are going to carry on holding them once a week. 

All the children on Friday wore a brightly coloured top to school (or online in their Google Meets) in order to express how unique we all are! We had a great time and are looking forward to repeating supporting this event again next year! 

Playground Project 2021

We are proud to reveal our new playground for 2021. We have been working hard behind the scenes in school on developing a new playground design for all the children to enjoy. This week the team from UniPlay have removed all the old markings and replaced them with a new fresh design. Alongside our new playground equipment, our new climbing frame and PE shed we have changed the face of the outside of our school,. We hope the children enjoy many years of fun of fitness with our new resources. 

Hearts for Homes 2020

Throughout the school children created hearts with messages of love and support for the elderly in our local community. These items were delivered to the homes within the area to bring a little festive cheer to the residents. The children in school loved making them and from the photos we can see they made a real difference to the lives of others within the local area. Well done everyone! 

A Christmas visit to Church

This year we have been unable to visit the church for our normal service but we have been lucky enough to take part in creating a Nativity tableaux. A big thanks to Mrs Way for all her hardwork and the children in Reception and Key Stage 1 for creating the schools entry to the tableaux. During the final week of term all the classes got to visit the tableaux in there class bubbles and enjoy the Nativity story in our beautiful local church!  

Christmas at Broadwas 2020

We had a wonderful Christmas here at Broadwas CofE Primary School. It was a little different than usual but we enjoyed it all the same! We had a visit by Santa on his 'Harley Davidson' for Reception and Key Stage 1 children and a virtual visit for the children in Key Stage 2. All the children had a party afternoon where we all enjoyed party games, party food and a present from Santa! 

All the children in Reception and Key Stage 1 performed a wonderful Nativity called 'Prickly Hay'. We loved sharing this via Google Classroom and hope next year we can perform our Nativity to an actual audience. Key Stage 2 children took part in the Seven Arts Winter festival and recorded two carols. They were beautifully sung and we were so proud to see the performance during the online festival. 

Operation Christmas Child 2020

A big thank you to all the children and parents who helped us with our Operation Christmas Child campaign this term. We had some fantastic shoe boxes this year and I know they will make Christmas very special for many children who are not as fortunate as us. Thank you! 

Our new friends! 

This term we have been joined by two new friends, Tom and Jerry. Our new guinea pigs have been kindly donated to school by the Waller family and they have taken to their new home in Reception very well. A big thanks to Mr and Mrs Waller and Ollie for the donation and we hope to have our new friends in school for many years to come! 

Remembrance 2020

At school this year we have focused on the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance. The children in each class took the poppy and created art work based on the theme. Some beautiful work was created and I hope you enjoy the images below. Each class took part in a two minutes silence in school and Mr Dennis represented the school in the village Remembrance service. Once again, thank you for your contributions to the Poppy Appeal this year. 

Odd Socks Day and Anti Bullying Week 2020

During November we took part in this years Anti Bullying Week. During the week we explored the topic with assemblies and special activities during PSHE sessions. The children also took part in 'Odd Socks' day where we all wore different socks in recognition of the fact that we are all unique in our own way!

European Day of Languages 2020

We started the term by celebrating European Day of Languages 2020. All the classes chose their own European country to research and investigate. We then came to school in the colours of the country and enjoyed exploring their food, geography, language and culture. We loved the day and learnt a great deal about our European neighbours! 

Playground Climbing Frame 2020

Over the Summer holidays we have had the installation of our new climbing frame in school. The team worked hard on the installation over three days and have completed a terrific job. I know the children will love the apparatus when they return! Can I pass on our thanks to Knightwick and Doddenham Parish Council for their kind donation to the project.
