BROADSTONE MIDDLE SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Issue No 3

Congratulations to Jasmine in 6Y, who has been selected as one of the 20 children to perform in this year's Christmas show of Aladdin at the Lighthouse in Poole, which is being produced by Peter Duncan. Jasmine adores her dancing, singing and acting and she is absolutely thrilled at this exciting opportunity.

GARDENING CLUB

Last week, 6 members of the Gardening Club were offered the amazing opportunity to visit the Kingston Lacy

Kitchen Gardens. It was a glorious afternoon and the sun was shining. The children received tuition from the

National Trust Gardeners on how to tend the flower gardens and they spent the afternoon helping to clear the

Dahlia beds ready for the spring bulbs to be planted. Here they learnt how to cut back the Dahlias using secateurs

so that the tubers could be saved for next year, compost the debris and clear it ready for visitors. We got to take

home some of the Dahlia tubers that we dug up to see if they will grow in our school garden next year. The

children also got to cut flowers to take home with them as well. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with the

children learning new skills to take back to our school garden.

SCHOOL UNIFORM AND LOGO CONSULTATION

Broadstone Middle School is a rapidly improving school and we have

made significant improvements and progress over recent months.

To symbolise the changes and to ensure we are current and forward

thinking we will be re-branding this year. This will mean changes to

the school uniform as well as the school logo.

School uniform consultation

We value your views and opinions and so will be consulting with you

throughout the process. We would like to gather your initial thoughts

on school uniform.

School logo ideas

We would like to create a ‘mood board’ for the new school logo and so would

appreciate any comments, views, or even better, initial designs of what this

could look like. The best ideas will then be sent off to be designed professionally.
