You will be pleased to know that the letters regarding after school club places have been given out tonight. We hope that you are pleased with the place(s) you have been given, if you have received a club that your child no longer wishes to attend then please let us know so that the place can be allocated to someone on the waiting list. If your child is taking part in any of our sporting clubs please ensure they are provide with the correct PE kits. CHILDREN WILL BE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE WEARING SCHOOL UNIFORM.

Polite reminders:

If your child fails to attend their club for 2 consecutive weeks then unfortunately they will be taken off of the register. This does not include absences for illness and school trips.

Clubs finish at 4.15pm, if your child is collected late for 2 consecutive weeks, again their name will be taken off of the register.

We thank you for your cooperation in this matter, as we have many after school clubs and a large number of children to accommodate.

Learning Federation succeed in Quicksticks competition

Broadford and Mead came together yet again to compete in a Havering Sports Collective tournament at Coopers Coborn. The children worked very closely together and with some great reciprocity and resilience put their hockey skills they have developed over the term to some good use. After some excellent goal scoring from Atin and some great defending from Temira Broadford found themselves top of their group and proceeded through to the semi finals. Unfortunately, the semi final was a tough game and we were beaten 2-1. Even though we were unsuccessful with winning the tournament we were rewarded a certificate for excellent team work. Well done Learning Federation!

KS2 Gymnastics!

The KS2 gymnasts have been busy practicing their handstands this week. They spent some time working on the basic shapes and how to stretch all the muscles in their bodies before trying to turn this upside down and balance on their hands. It is harder than it looks!

The girls showed great resilience as they practiced, improving on each attempt. "You really have to keep your arms straight" said Martina as she tried to perfect her handstand. Sophia showed great control of her body as she worked on her handstand. "I had trouble coming down from my handstand but I can do it now!"

ART and Design Club

In Art Club, we have been designing colourful, snowy mittens catching one delicate snowflake. Some of our younger art clubbers became fascinated with the different snowflake shapes they could make with a simple piece of circular paper and a pair of scissors! A great way to teach pattern and symmetry as well! We are now exploring Optical Illusion art.... Using just colour, shape and line, the children have already produced some super eye-catching pieces: Can you see a 3D hand beneath the stripes and a globe popping out of these designs?
