This week we have been reading 'When a Dragon loves Christmas'. The children took part in the nursery Christmas perfromance. The children have been practing so well for the past few weeks and did such an amazing job in front of their parents and carers. 

The children have completed lots of different Christmas crafts this week. They have enjoyed joing different materials together to make things that they see during the season. 

The children enjoyed the festive activities at their very own Winterwonderland. They decorated biscuits, made reindeer food, made Christmas ornaments and ended the session with a cup of hot chocolate and a Christmas story. 

Last week the children posted their Christmas cards on thier trip to the post box. We hope everyone has received their cards. The children enjoyed making them and carefully wrote their name in their card. 

The children have been continuing to use their name cards to recognise their names as well as practicing how to hold their pens or pencils using a tripod grip. 

Donating Toys for Children in Queen's Hospital

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

 Donating Toys for Children in Queen's Hospital

Reception children at Broadford Primary School are invited to take part in The Queen’s Hospital Christmas Toy Gifting Campaign.

If your child would like to participate, we ask that they donate a new or not used toy or book for a child up to the age of 16. Please ensure that the toy or book is in good condition, without any signs of wear and tear. If the toy is previously owned but still in its original packaging or has the original labels that is perfectly fine.

These donations will be given to children who are in hospital over Christmas, including those in-patients, as well as children in Accident and Emergency, receiving blood tests, or attending clinic appointments. The charity also aims to provide small gifts to siblings who are with the sick child on Christmas Day. The goal is to collect approximately 3,000 gifts for the festive season!

The collection will end on Tuesday 17th December.  Please leave your kind donations with the Office staff in the main School Office.

Thank you for your generosity in supporting this wonderful cause.
