Miss Crawford’s Half Marathon for OKMT

Hi Everyone,

In early September, I will be running the London Big Half Marathon to raise money for the Otakar Kraus Music Trust (OKMT). The OKMT provides music therapy and music projects for people of all ages in and around the London Borough of Richmond. They also run the OKMT Music School, providing specially adapted music lessons for children and young people with additional needs. The OKMT is a charity very close to my heart. I am a qualified music therapist as well as a music teacher and have worked for the charity for a number of years now. Any donations in support of my efforts and more importantly that of the charity will be greatly appreciated. Click Here to Donate

Thank you and wish me luck!!

Important Clubs News

A couple of updates on the clubs programme for September 2024.  Sadly, due to lack of numbers, gymnastics club, girls football club and Thursday art club (Y1/2), will not be running.  However, we do have some rather exciting news in that we have enlisted an external company for our cookery club offering.  We have some children signed up for the sessions already, however there is space for any newcomers.  Please see below posters for more details, please contact Mrs Crocker on admin@broomfieldhouse.com to book.  If anyone has forgotten to book for the autumn term please let Mrs Crocker know and she can organise this for you on the SOCS portal.

 

We also have the popular Technokids and Inventors Clubs running in autumn term, please see below for more information on these exciting clubs:

Reminder for Drop Off at School

A reminder to parents that all children must stay on the top patch with parents until the bell is rang at 8:30am. Parents should not leave their children unsupervised or allow them to go to the bottom patch or any other part of school until 8:30am or unless a teacher is with them. Please can we also not park by blocking the gate of our neighbour at 6 The Coach House (image below) as she has been blocked in three times in the last two weeks. Below is a picture of her gate. Thank you all for your understanding.

Highlights

Senior Play

Bravo to all involved for making this year’s senior play a resounding success!

Videos and photos to follow next week.

Den Day

We had so much fun on Thursday! Children gathered in the playground for our annual Den Day. The challenge was to design and construct dens using a variety of materials, and our children rose to the occasion with great team spirit. Despite rather windy weather conditions, the children collaboratively built impressive structures. Well done all!

Fashion Show

The Year 5 children did themselves proud in a fantastic display for their Spanish fashion show. They had obviously put much time and effort into preparing and learning their descriptions of each other and it was great to see them using the Spanish which they have learnt with such confidence.

Legoland

Year 2 had an amazing time at Legoland last Friday. They were real thrill seekers going on the rides. We had a great day and made wonderful memories together. It was a joy to see them thoroughly enjoying their day.

Orange Tree Theatre

Year 6 enjoyed a trip to the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond on Friday 28th June 2024 to see an entertaining and interactive version of Hamlet.

After their workshop, which had previously taken place at school, the children were keen to see the play, which ended with a culmination of “what ifs” from the actors and the audience. What if Hamlet and Ophelia had stayed together? What if Queen Gertrude had not married Claudius? We will never know…

Koala Eco Trail

And the countdown has started! This is the last weekend to complete the Eco Trail before we select 10 lucky winners who will receive a Koala soft toy next week. 🙂 Drop off your completed Eco Trail map in the post box in front of the main school entrance by next Monday 8th July.

Send us your photos from the Eco Trail to news@broomfieldhouse.com for inclusion in the end of term newsletter next week.
