Term: Summer 2 Date 20.6.16
This week we are focusing on our trip to the beach. The children will be recounting their trip to the beach through talk and writing and will use photo prompts to aid them. We will also look at non-fiction texts about the seaside and discuss the differences these have to fiction books. Due to an unforeseeable mix up on Friday the children ventured to Shoeburyness instead of Cudmore Grove. Every single child's behaviour and attitude during the trip was fantastic and they were a great representation of Broadford Primary school. They took the wet weather in their stride, returning to school a little soggy and tired from all the excitement. Due to this mix up we will be taking all the children to Jump Evolution in Harold Hill on Tuesday morning. Thursday is an Inset day meaning Broadford will be closed to pupils for the day. Friday afternoon, school will be closing at 1.30pm due to the TES Awards.
Please see the end of the Newsletter for more Key Dates.
Your child will be taking part in the following activities within the seven areas of development (activities are subject to change, depending on the children’s interests; however, the skills remain the same):

Due to of the volume of drink money being collected, distributed and organising the change for drinks is beginning to take away valuable teaching time. We kindly request that if you would like your child to purchase a drink (30p each) that they bring in the correct money daily in a labelled purse, envelope or wallet, which can be kept in your child's tray.
