Welcome Back! - Our New Reading Assemblies Have Begun!

This year we are introducing a weekly assembly to celebrate all things reading! Each week, we will dedicate our assembly to a book that features on the '105 Books to Read Before you Leave Broadford' book list. This will also be the perfect opportunity to celebrate and award pupils for their reading achievements.

Reading assemblies will take place on Tuesdays (one per key stage). Look out for our weekly blog post which will featured the shared stories of the day. 

This Week's Reading Assembly

We are kicking off our reading assembly this week with a recap of our '105 Books' challenge. Each year group has been provided with a specific tracker, these trackers contain 15 titles - stories which include inspirational characters; marvelous adventures; and fascinating topics that we hope will promote discussion and enjoyment. Please note, Harold Hill Library have kindly put together a selection of the books that feature on our '105 Books' list, these books are readily available for you to borrow.


Mrs Ward lead the KS2 assembly this morning. The story she chose to share was Roald Dahl's Matilda - a classic loved by many! Matilda features on the Year 4 Reading Tracker.


Mrs Nicholls lead the KS1 assembly this afternoon. Her choice of book to share with the children was Each Peach Pear Plum - a story she knows off by heart! Each Peach Pear Plum features on the Reception Reading Tracker.

Today's assembly included a reminder for pupils about the importance of reading and our school vision and expectations - we expect children at Broadford to read at home for twenty minutes per day.
