Broad Chalke CEPrimary School

To mark the end of Anti-Bullying Week we held an Odd Socks Day today which encouraged our pupils to celebrate and recognise uniqueness and difference.

Huge congratulations to our amazing Year 5 & 6 Hockey Team for securing 3rd place at yesterday's cluster tournament! We're so proud of your teamwork and determination. Well done, Team Broad Chalke!

Today Reverend Alison kindly led our school Remembrance Service to honour and remember the service and sacrifice of the armed forces community. As part of our remembrance we held a 2 minute silence and our Service pupils laid a cross beneath our poppy wreath.

Today, our Year 4 pupils (Woodpeckers) joined other Y4 pupils from across the DSAT schools to attend the annual iSing Pop event at the cathedral. Over 1000 people, including parents, attended. It was incredible to see and hear so many children enjoy singing and performing together. Well done Woodpeckers

We are SO proud of our brilliant Dragonflies (Y5) who returned on Friday from a 5 day residential at The Beacon in Devon. During their stay, the children had the opportunity to participate in a range of exciting activities. Well done Dragonflies for showing a huge amount of resilience, determination and team work.

Thank you to everyone who donated food and joined us for our Harvest Festival. It was wonderful to see each class contribute. All food donations, along with the encouraging notes, will be sent to The Trussell Trust. Lovely thank you letters, written by the children, will be delivered to Broad Chalke Farms as a token of appreciation

What a lovely Autumnal Day today

Well done to our Year 5 & 6 Boys Football Team! We're incredibly proud of the determination and grit shown by our boys at the recent local cluster football event. Their teamwork and perseverance earned them a fantastic third place finish complete with medals! A huge congratulations to the team you represented Broad Chalke brilliantly! Go Broad Chalke!

This week we have been celebrating a love of books. In the summer term our wonderful PTA donated book vouchers to each class. The children chose books for their book corners but also suggested books which could be enjoyed by everyone. This is a small selection of the books which are now available in our central library....there really has been a buzz about reading in the school

We love having Crumble the Dog as part of our school family. Children have the opportunity to spend time with Crumble, read a book with Crumble or take Crumble for a walk. Even staff love having 'Crumble Time' (Crumble is in school every Friday and 'Crumble Time' is part of our wider wellbeing offer)

Our Cygnet Class had an exciting Show and Tell session this week. One of our kind parents brought their family pony to school. The class had the opportunity to ask lots of questions.

Today our Forest Fun Afternoons started . Our Year 4 pupils enjoyed engaging in a range of activities which included a grounding task. This involved them taking their shoes and socks off, listening to sounds and feeling the breeze to connect and appreciate nature. They also learnt about Andreas Celsius who was a Swedish astronomer and mathematician- he invented the first thermometer to read temperature up to 100 degrees. The children investigated temperatures in different locations. Well done Woodpeckers....what a fun afternoon! All of our pupils will experience Forest Fun this term

Today we welcomed some of our new Ducklings - they settled brilliantly We know it can be hard for parents to say goodbye.... the first drop-offs can be full of big emotions. So we sent them on their way with a little treat and words of encouragement.
