Dear Parents, As the weather has become colder, a number of
pupils sensibly choose to wear outdoor coats to and from school.
May I remind you that our school uniform clearly states that any
coat must be either predominantly plain black or blue. Hoodies,
fleeces and scarves have never been part of our uniform and they
are
not permitted. If your son or daughter comes to school by bike,
it will help if they are as highly visible as possible. Lights on a
bicycle definitely help, as does the wearing of high visibility
jackets or bands. Reflective badges which can be put on bags are
freely available from Miss Cross. If your son/daughter cycles
to/from school, please
remind them of the importance of road awareness. Pupils must
always pay attention to pedestrians and road users, and they should
always stop and check for oncoming traffic at junctions. We want
all pupils to arrive and depart safely. The overwhelming majority
of your sons and daughters arrive to school on time, ready for
the beginning of the day at 8.40am. They look smart, alert and
eager to learn. As all pupils know, if anyone arrives late they
have to attend a ‘same day’ break detention. If any pupil is late
on more than two occasions in any one week, not only will they have
to attend a break detention, they will be in a detention until
4.00pm on Friday with me! Punctuality is such an important lesson
for life beyond
Broughton and we are determined that everyone arrives to school
on time. Today we welcome a new Learning Mentor, Mr Paul Wallace to
our staff. Mr Wallace is a highly experienced senior teacher who
will be working specifically with a targeted number of Year 10/11
individuals who need additional support, guidance and
‘encouragement’ to perform
at their very best in and out of lessons. In response to a
number of requests from pupils, we shall be allowing pupils to play
on the all-weather pitch at lunchtime, so long as they wear the
correct trainers. This is a great facility and we are keen to make
maximum use of it, whilst ensuring it is well-maintained. At the
first PTFA meeting of the year, Mrs Rukin outlined a proposal
relating to the purchase of a Broughton sports kit for several of
our teams. At last week’s PTFA meeting it was unanimously agreed to
donate £2,000 to pay for all the necessary kit.
As always, if you are happy or unhappy with any aspect of life
here at Broughton, please do not hesitate to get in touch. My email
address is [email protected]. Chris Morris,
Headteacher

Lancashire Remembers The Centenary Festival of Remembrance
Armistice 100 ''We Will Remember Them''
Netball Throughout September and October, the Year 9, 10 and 11
girls participated in the Preston Schools’ netball league. On
Wednesday, 31st October, the finals were held at St Cecilia’s where
all of the schools met to play for their final places. All pupils
involved gave an exceptional performance and it was fantastic to
see the standard of netball and the number of girls participating
in netball across Preston. Each of the three leagues included
twelve teams. The final standings were:
Year 9A 2nd place Year 9B 4th place Year 10A 3rd place Year 10B
to be rearranged to play for 7th/8th place Year 11A 5th place Year
11B 11th place
Well done to all forty seven pupils who represented the school
in any of the netball teams.
Mrs Hough
In homework club at lunchtime last Thursday, it was evident that
so many pupils were working together with mutual respect care and
support for each other. Some pupils were explaining strategies and
concepts to each other whilst others were testing their friends
helping with revision. It was a pleasure to be on duty in
there.
Most notably the boys from Year 8 and Year 11: Joshua Philipson,
Alex Tyson,
Oliver Williams, Archie Macleod, Rory Hastings, Dan Eastham
and
Iain Simpson. Mrs Hardman
Mr Grindrod, Musical Director of East Lancashire Concert Band,
invites you to an evening of remembrance at Preston Guild Hall on
Saturday November 10th at 7.00pm. On the 4th August 1914, Britain
went to war. Many expected the war would be a short one, with the
Allies quickly triumphing over Germany. There was a great deal of
patriotic fervour, which resulted in thousands of men volunteering
to fight. In the event, the war was to last for over four years and
it would change the cultural, economic, political and social fabric
of Britain forever. On the 11th Hour of the 11th day of the 11th
month in 1918, World War 1 officially ended when an agreement
(known as an armistice) was signed by Germany and the Allies. This
date is known as Armistice Day, and is still commemorated each year
when people wear poppies to remember those who fought and died in
conflicts around the world - the pretty red flowers were the only
things that grew on the battlefields of Western Europe. Sadly, by
the time World War 1 was over, more than 18 million people had been
killed worldwide. It was hoped it would be the war to end all wars
but this wasn't the case. Just 21 years later, World War 2 began.
This concert, on the eve of the Centenary of the Armistice that
ended World War 1, is the culmination of four years of
commemoration concerts. It is a fitting tribute, not only to those
who lost their lives in the Great War, but all those who have
fought and died for our country over the past century. Supported by
BBC Radio Lancashire, and in aid of the Royal British Legion, it
brings together Musicians, Singers, Forces cadets and the Standard
Bearers of the RBL from all over Lancashire - truly a ''people's''
concert. The concert will also be broadcast on Radio Lancashire on
Sunday 11th November. It is an ideal opportunity to show our
appreciation of those who defend us, or defended us, in this unique
way.
On Saturday we remember those Lancashire Pals Regiments.
Tickets are £12.50 and can be purchased from
the Guild Hall booking office tel: 01772 804444.
All proceeds will go to the Royal British Legion.

Sporting News
Football On Tuesday, the U16 girls' football team were playing
Archbishop Temple away in the English Schools’ Cup. The two teams
have been very evenly matched at this age group since Year 7 and
with many of the girls playing together at clubs outside of school,
both teams always want to win bragging rights. Broughton have been
the narrow victors the last couple of years, but it was not to be
this time. Archbishop scored two early goals on the counter attack
and despite Broughton dominating most of the play in the middle of
the park, it was Archbishop who were more clinical in front of
goal. Broughton brought the score back to 3-2, but were unfortunate
not to receive a penalty when Daisy Mason was brought down in the 6
yard box having beaten the keeper. Archbishop then went down the
other end and scored to ensure themselves of the win.

Wednesday saw the U14 girls’ football team in action with a home
match against St Augustine's. St Augustine's started the better of
the two teams, and it was clear they had quality across all three
lines. With ten minutes to go, Broughton had come from 3-0 down to
3-2 and looked likely to equalise before full time. However, an
unlucky deflection from one of the Broughton defenders gave St
Augustine's a fourth goal and finished the game off. A great effort
from all the Broughton girls.

girls’ football team were back in action in the Preston district
league with a game against Ashton. Still frustrated with their loss
on Tuesday, the girls started the game much more brightly and it
was not long before Daisy Mason opened the scoring after a lovely
pass from Georgia Hills. Broughton then completely dominated. They
played some fantastic football and went into half time 5-0 up. With
confidence high, Broughton continued to push for more goals second
half, with some of the midfielders getting on the score sheet and
leaving a final score of 10-0. A fantastic performance. Well
done.

Root of the Week A root word is a word or part of a word which
can form the basis of new words, through the addition of prefixes
and suffixes. Understanding the meanings of common word roots can
therefore help you work out the meanings of new words when you come
across them. If pupils use the Root of the Week correctly in any
form and label it, they will be awarded a point on ClassCharts.
