Sports For Schools

Children have been taking part in a fund raising afternoon of sport! All the children, and many teachers, took part in a activity circuit consisting of star jumps, spotty dogs, press ups and leg pumps to help raise money for sports equipment for the school and to help fund training for young British sports stars.

As part of the afternoon the organising company, Sports for Schools, brought along Danny Lawrence, the British gymnast. Danny has won medals at National and Commonwealth games. He treated the children to a amazing exhibition of gymnastic skills before answering questions on his life and career.

Mango Is Ready to Go!

As part of our involvement in Colchester Zoo’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, the children have this week been busy decorating, our Stand Tall Giraffe. Using the distinctive markings of a giraffe, each child across the school has decorated a patch that says something about themselves. Patches include self-portraits, favourite animals and emotion faces.

The Giraffe, who has been named by the children as Mango, will be setting off on a ‘road trip’ in and around Colchester from May through to September. Mango’s exact route has yet to be finalised, but we are expecting Mango and her fellow giraffes to appear in William & Griffin and Debenhams over the summer months. Once the road trip has been completed, Mango will return home to us permanently

 

 

Recycling Challenge

The Easter holiday challenge was to construct a model or object made out of recycled materials. The children responded with great enthusiasm and constructed many and varied objects; from a go-kart, to a dress made out of bin liners, to a banjo made out of an old sweet tin. Congratulations to all that took part, the objects were all wonderful in their own way.

Welcome back!

As the Headteacher of Broomgrove Junior School it is a pleasure to be able to welcome you to our new website.

“At Broomgrove, we expect everyone to work together to achieve high standards of learning and behaviour in a safe, happy and stimulating environment where both children and adults are valued.”

At the heart of all aspects of our school life are the values of respect, excellence and friendship. Furthermore, we believe that working in partnership with our children, their parents and carers, governors, and our local community is critical to ensuring our success as a school. A supportive atmosphere is fostered within which children feel confident to express their individuality, their talents and know that success in any aspect of their lives will be rewarded and celebrated. We are passionate that the School flourishes by providing a positive and stimulating learning environment created by caring and dedicated staff, which results in excellent progress for all our learners.

For those of you visiting our website for the first time and who do not know Broomgrove Juniors I hope it offers you an insight into our School. For those who know Broomgrove we hope you like the new website. It has taken a while to get here and is being developed all the time so please continue to revisit for updates!

I look forward to meeting you.

Kindest regards,
Matthew Fuller
