Messages:
The children may bring in something related to our stories for Show and Tell on Friday.
Each child now has a home/school book. This is a book to write their wow moments in and any important messages. If you make a comment in the book, please place it in the tray provided so that we respond to your comment straight away.
Please make sure your child has a spare change of clothes in school just in case they have any little accidents. The spare change of clothes does not have to be school uniform.
We regularly update our EYFS blog. Please like our Broadford Primary Facebook page every time you see an EYFS blog. Feel free to make a comment on the children’s experiences.
You may not be aware that Free School Meals eligible children attract Pupil Premium funding, which is going to be £1300 per child. This additional money is used to improve achievement for that group but it also impacts on all of our children. For instance, a chunk of it pays for the free after school clubs that everyone benefits from. Our Governing Body have discussed how we can use this money to directly help eligible families. Support we can offer includes: free school trips, support with uniform and help with residential trips. If you think you may be eligible, please apply now. You don’t actually have to eat the school dinners… you just have to sign up! The more children who sign up, the more money we get, the more we can help our children. If you feel you are entitled to free schools meals, please pick up a form from the office. If you need help in completing the form, just ask!
Stay and play session:
Come and see us in action! On Thursday 17th October we are inviting parents to come and watch us teach Read, Write, Inc. See how we teach sounds and get some tips for activities which you can do with your children to support our scheme.
The session will run from 9.05 – 11.00.
Thank you for your continued support.
