YEAR 6 TOTEM POLE
CREATIONS!To fully immerse the pupils in the 'Hola
Mexico' topic, the year 6's have taken part
in a month long design and technology
workshop which required them to
collaboratively design and construct two 6ft
Totem poles which will be completed this
Friday (12th February). We are currently
deciding on the most suitable place for the
Totem poles to be displayed outdoors, the
date for this is to be confirmed.

goings-on in school!Follow us on Twitter!

GLORIOUS GIGANTIGUTFollowing the success of last year's amazing
Gigantigut (built on the school field by Year 4)
two budding journalists from Year 4, Caoimhe
Burn and Ben Griffiths, are featured in the latest
edition of the popular children's magazine'National Geographic Kids'. Their short report
and one of the awesome photographs take pride
of place in the centre of the Junior Reporters'
club pages and NG Kids stated that they wished
they'd been able to make something like it when
they were at school! Well done to all of Year 4!
FOREST CREW3RS had a fantastic afternoon doing Forest Crew activities with
Mrs McCrory and Mr Rowe, all focused on the theme of 'friendship'

Mammoth', a chasing version of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'.

BELLA MAY LEONARDwww.bellamayleonard.comFb: BellaMayLeonard Twitter: BellaMayLeonard
I am an artist who primarily works with textile and embroidery techniques, questioning and exploring sculptural potential.
I have recently returned from an art residency in Mexico where I was taught new stitches and back strap loom weaving by
local artisans. By experiencing how textile art is valued differently across the world, my concepts and knowledge broaden.
I am very pleased to be given the opportunity to teach what I have learnt and share my ideas with Broad Oak Primary School.
The work we produce together provides the children opportunity to develop tactile awareness, aiming to give them
confidence in their creative abilities and potential.
SCHOOL MEALS ARREARS AND OTHER
PAYMENTS TO SCHOOLPlease can we ask that Parents keep up to date with payments due for
School meals, trips, Nursery fees etc. We would ask that all arrears are
settled before the end of half term. If you would like to discuss an
outstanding account please call the school office.
Thank you.
SCHOOL MEALSJust a reminder that a half terms notice is required in writing to change
a child's dinner pattern from school meals to packed lunch or packed
lunch to school meals. For parents not yet signed up for Parent Pay,
log in details are available from the office if you need them.
An Afternoon of Sharing: Maths EventOn Wednesday families were invited to join our year group
teams to find out how we teach division at Broad Oak. The
sessions were well attended and very informative for parents
with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. We look
forward to holding similar events in the future.
TRAFFIC AND WALKING SURVEYTraffic continues to be an issue around school with people
parking inconsiderately and in some cases blocking footpaths.
Yesterday your child should have brought home a letter
detailing an audit that we are undertaking to understandbarriers to walking to school in conjunction with Living
Streets. If you complete the survey and return it to school by
24th February you will be entered into a draw to win a 10
voucher.
We also need volunteers to help with the audit. Living
Streets will be completing their audit on our behalf on
Thursday 3rd March at 9am. The process should take about
1 hours approx. If you would like to be involved and help
improve the situation outside school please contact
Mr. Corteen. [email protected]
