Meeting the Mayor

 Meeting the Mayor

On Monday, Years 3 - 6 School Council members were lucky enough to meet the Mayor of Havering at the Town Hall in Romford.

He taught us all about his role and the history of Havering before giving us the opportunity to ask any questions we had! The children came out with some excellent questions and the Mayor commented on their outstanding behaviour whilst there.

All children were then given the opportunity to hold the Mayor's mace! 

We are so glad that the children enjoyed this opportunity and represented their school beautifully during their trip!

School Council City Hall Trip

 School Council City Hall Trip

Today the 2021/2022 School Council went on a trip to the new City Hall in London to celebrate the wonderful work they have done this year representing their classes!

 We were the third group of school children to ever enter the new building in Custom House and learnt about all of the fascinating work people there are doing there to try and make London a better place for us all! We reflected on important historical events, both good and bad, that have impacted the city and discussed potential changes that could happen in the future. 

After our talk and tour of City Hall, we were lucky enough to be able to ride the cable cars! Some children showed their resilience as they braved their fears of heights.

Year 5 Mass Litter March - 09/04/19

What a fantastic yesterday! Some super Year 5 children and their parents helped us clean up our streets in Harold Hill! They were so quick and handy and the  children were very competitive as to who would have the biggest bag!

A huge thank you to all those involved in the litter pick up yesterday. It was really inspirational to see everyone getting together to make Harold Hill a cleaner place.

Thank you.

School Council to City Hall

Yesterday, our wonderful School Council representatives went on an adventure to City Hall, which was an absolutely stunning building, and apparently took longer to build than the shard (despite the difference in height.)

On arrival, we went to the conference room, where we received our very own City Hall pen, book and bag. The book and pen came in very handy as the children were then informed on how the City of London is run and could jot down any notes.

Following this, we headed to the assembly, where we met the actual Mayor, who was being questioned about transport for London. We don't mean to brag, but Broadford even received a special shout out during the question time as we were welcomed in.

The children also had the opportunity to look at how London has changed through the years and ask any questions before proceeding to eat our lunch with the stunning views of our city.

Red, yellow and black for Brandina

Today, Broadford have been exceptional (as always) in raising money for Brandina, a girl who we sponsor in Uganda. Thanks to your help, generosity and support, the children dressed up in an item of red, yellow or black clothing and were able to raise £276.00 towards the charity 'Watato.'

As a result of your contributions, Brandina will have greater access to education, medical care and nutritious food. Brandina contacted us directly to inform us that, as a result of our support, she has excelled in her education with a first grade, which is fantastic to hear.

Tyler Shephard - It's really nice to know that the money we give helps another child go to school. I can't imagine not being able to go to school.

Thank you again for your contributions. Your support with this fantastic cause is always appreciated.

Brandina NON-SCHOOL UNIFORM 19.01.18

Dear Parents and Carers,

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, pupils from the school council are hosting a non-school uniform day in aid of Brandina, who is the pupil we sponsor in Uganda.

Pupils are invited to wear one piece of non-uniform, representing the colours of the Ugandan flag (red, black and yellow) and a contribution of 50p towards the charity of 'Watato' would be greatly appreciated. 

I look forward to raising money tomorrow in a fun and exciting way!

School Council Meeting

This week, for school council, we met with our Harold Hill alliance to discuss the concept of healthy eating. Prior to the meeting, Broadford had been working hard to not only produce posters, but a banner that could be potentially displayed in schools across the Hill.

Our KS2 representatives, Mia Gallagher and David Basillio, then presented this at our meeting, talking through how we made it and why they thought it was effective.

We chose the logo 'Give junk the boot! Eat more fruit!' to encourage healthy eating, which was widely admired across the cluster. Great work School Council! 

Healthy eating competition

As part of their first job as School Council, our representatives launched a 'healthy eating poster competition' to promote and explain the importance of a healthy balanced lifestyle across our school.

We had a phenomenal turnout of posters; beautifully decorated, extremely eye catching and full of important messages. However, after studying the posters closely, our represenatives decided that Ellie-Mae Wager and Ella Nash deserved first place as not only were their posters aesthetically pleasing, but also informative. Today, our school council representatives, Ty and Summer Rose, announced this in assembly.

This poster will accompany us on our first alliance cluster meeting, where we will continue to discuss healthy eating and how we can promote this in our school. For their masterpieces, the winners also received a cookbook to further inspire a healthy lifestyle.

Thank you to those of you who contributed and congratulations again to Ellie-Mae and Ella. 

School Council City Hall Trip

On Thursday 16th November, our newly elected school council representatives will be attending a trip to City Hall. There, they will have a tour and be given an insight into the way the city of London is run. As well as this, there will be a Mayor's Question Time, which the children will be able to witness.

The representatives have already received their letter for this trip and this needs to be returned by tomorrow (Friday 10th November.) If you haven't already, can you please ensure this is signed and given to Miss Taylor.

Thank you for your cooperation. 

School council take on healthy eating

Today, the wonderful Samanyu and Leo represented Broadford School Council in a meeting  at Brookside school. To begin, I was super proud of the boys, who kickstarted the meeting with a PowerPoint presentation (designed by Mr Handoo) on healthy eating. They discussed what our school has done to promote healthy eating, presented the children with valuable statistics and displayed what healthy and unhealthy foods looks like.

After the presentation, the children designed menus from across the world including a World Cup, Winter Olympics, and a Mexican menu etc. The children then had the opportunity to explore Brookside school, before finally heading back. 

I am super proud of our representatives today, I look forward to our next meeting. 

Miss Taylor.
