• World Book Day

  Fri 04 Mar 2016 Lucy Macey

  What a fantastic day! Broughton School definitely excels at celebrating World Book Day and this year was no exception!

  First the costumes - each class had a chosen book. For squirrels the book was Each Peach Pear Plum by Allan and Janet Ahlberg. The children came dressed in an array of costumes from the book

• The Beetle Drive

  Mon 29 Feb 2016 Lucy Macey

  There was no time to get the camera out at this fund-raiser!! It was a fast and furious game of chance where children and adults got thoroughly involved trying to be the first to draw a beetle!

  The rules were simple- take it in turns to roll a dice and the number that was rolled gave you the part to draw. To start you HAD to roll a 6 in order to draw the body, a 5 gave you a head, 3 was a leg ........

  We had 6 games in all and at the end there were 2 overall winners who had scored the most points.

  The adult winner was Mrs O' Callaghan and the child winner was Alice Taragel!

  Everyone agreed that it was a thoroughly enjoyable way to begin the weekend and we would like to thank all the parents and children for their support and particularly FOBS committee for organising everything.

  We were pleased that it raised £200.00 which will be used to benefit the children at the school.

  Roll on the next beetle drive!!!!

• Cross Country at Winton

  Mon 07 Dec 2015 Mrs Lucy Macey
   A number of children from Years 3- 6 travelled to Winton on Friday and competed against large Andover schools in a long cross country competition. There were some really excellent performances from the children and it would be true to say that some of them pushed themselves to complete the course showing our school values of both aspiration and courage. Well done to all those that competed and a thank you to all the parents that helped us with transport.

  Fri 13 Nov 2015 Lucy Macey

  Who is your hero?

  The children dressed up as their own personal hero and what a fantastic effort they made! We had Father Christmas, footballers vets, nurses, dads, mums and grandparents- to name a few.

  The children had great fun completing heroic challenges as the pictures show....

  We raised £100.00 for Children in Need. Well done everyone

  

• Football and Netball friendlies away at Awbridge

  Fri 13 Nov 2015 Lucy Macey

  On Wednesday 4th November our children went to Awbridge School to play football and netball friendlies

  I recommend that you read the match reports written by Will Walters and Joseph Hammond ( Year 6)

   

  Awbridge Football    

  On the 4^th November 2015 we travelled to Awbridge play some friendly football matches. First the year 3/4 match. The starting line-up was Sam E in goal, Mackie, Jake, Sam W, Ashley and Charlie outfield. We started off well with Ashley scoring 2 early goals and Jake P getting a well-earned hat-trick.   

  In the second half we started well scoring another 4 goals. Awbridge clawed one back with a debatable free kick. The score at full time was 9-1 to us a brilliant performance and sportsmanship shown until the final whistle blew.  Man of The Match Jake P

   

   

  The year 5/6 match was expected to be a good one. The team was Joe, Freddie, Will, Archie, Max, Robert and joseph. The first half was extremely attacking for us, we probably racked up 10 or so shots on target in the first half, but Awbridge stood their ground. Some solid defending by Joe, Freddie and Will. Even better attacking by the front 3 got us to 0-0 at half time.

   

  The second half was even better. Another dozen or so shots on target lead to a first goal, Joseph bursting through to break the deadlock finishing in the top corner of the Awbridge net. Then Max came off in replacement for Robert. Now it was Freddie’s turn to strike an absolute blinder from miles out into the left-hand bottom corner of the net. Archie came off in the dying moments of the game to allow Max a go  several corners by defenders Will and Freddie and an all-round fantastic performance secured a 2-0 victory for Broughton at full time. Man of The Match Archie.

• World Book Day 2015

  Thu 05 Mar 2015

  What an amazing effort everybody made (thank you parents!). The children looked amazing and a great deal of imagination went into the character outfits. The books chosen (hopefully you can instantly recognise Squirrels and Badgers who focussed on The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland). Otters used Traction Man as their book and Foxes linked to Stoneage Boy.
