Art Club: Making Ice Cream Cones

This week the art and crafts club have been making ice cream cones. Having decorated their paper cornets, the eager pupils then topped off the delicious treat with cotton wool marshmallows!

Cookery Club: Apple Crumble

After a half term break, the cookery club were straight back to it with a lesson on how to make Apple Crumble. First they had to slice and dice the fruit. After that, Mr Borrell demonstrated how to make the perfect crumble mix. Finally the children put it all together in their catering containers to share with their families. What a delicious treat. Unsurprisingly Mr Drakes chose this workshop as the one he would come and visit. He is well known for his addiction to anything that can be covered with custard.

Broadford Choir Visits the 02

On Tuesday 28^th January pupils from Broadford Primary School took part in the Young Voices Choir concert at the 02 Arena in Greenwich, London. A total of 25 children participated, who make up the key stage 2 choir at the school, and they all sang their hearts out whilst proudly waving their banner.

Young Voices is the largest school choir organiser in the world and currently organises over 14 concerts a year in the UK & Ireland’s leading Arenas. Each year over 2,500 schools, 90,000 children 6,000 teachers and 120,000 family and friends come together to enjoy music and celebrate singing.

Young Voices believes in working with new, up and coming artists from all aspects of the musical spectrum. This year the children’s choir were joined on stage by Wayne Ellington, Keith Semple and Stacey Solomon who sang a song from her new album.  Pupil Maria Paius, aged nine, said her favourite part of the performance had been ’You raise me up’ which was sung with Wayne Ellington, one of the UK’s leading gospel  singers and director for Manchester’s Sing Out Choir.

Deputy Headteacher Lois Nicholls said: “We have been rehearsing for the concert since September and everyone has been so excited in the run up to the event. The atmosphere at the O2 arena was absolutely amazing and it is something the children will never forget.”

Year 5 pupil Tolu Erinle, aged nine, said “I had a fantastic because there were so many people to meet at the event, singing at the 02 has built up my confidence and I felt really emotional.”

The Young Voices concert will definitely be a regular event on the school annual calendar and the highlight of the year for the choir.
