A fantastic group of Barnham Broom parents are taking on the Blickling Half Marathon on 18 October, running in support of the Friends of Barnham Broom School (FOBBS).

FOBBS works tirelessly to raise funds that support and enrich the activities, facilities and equipment at the school, making a real difference to the education and experiences of every pupil.

You can show your support by sponsoring these dedicated parents — every donation, however small, goes directly towards enriching school life for every child at Barnham Broom.

Forest Fridays are back and the children in Apple class have been using their new conker drill to make some fantastic autumn creations!

Here at Barnham Broom, Apple class spend every Friday afternoon in outdoor learning — whatever the weather. We can never decide who loves it more, the children or the teachers!

In June, the whole school went on a fun and very hot trip to Pensthorpe. Unfortunately the day started with a bit of a delay due to some coach issues, but everyone dealt with it so well and waited patiently in the hall until we left. The rest of the journey was uneventful and on arrival, everyone still had plenty of time to enjoy all the activities on offer.

Everyone had a chance to go pond dipping, which many children had never done before, and we found pond skaters, water hog lice, pond snails and dragonfly nymphs. All children had a chance to play in both the indoor and outdoor play areas. They had a brilliant time racing down the slides, challenging themselves on the obstacle course and playing lots of vast games of hide and seek.

Finally, we found time to build some dens, and there was also time to walk to see some of the birds that live around the Pensthorpe site — flamingos, cranes, geese and lots of kinds of ducks. Several of the ducks tried to join us for lunch too — there were some very cheeky ones trying to steal our sandwiches!

There were lots of very hot, tired and happy children on the way home! Well done Barnham Broom on a fantastic trip!
