80th Anniversary Celebrations
In 2011 Broomhall Nursery School celebrated its 80th Anniversary, making us the oldest nursery school in Sheffield. To mark the occasion we organised lots of special activities including, a memorial newspaper, planting an anniversary oak tree and a grand reunion Garden Party.
Garden Party: Saturday 25 June
Past and present pupils, their families and friends; members of the local community and partner organisations joined us at our celebratory Garden Party. It was a wonderful day enjoyed by all.
The Garden Party was officially opened by Dr Sonia Sharp, Executive Director for
Children, Young People and Families, Sheffield City Council. There was lots to see,
hear and do for young and old including craft activities, plant and cake stalls,
a tombola, a children’s funzone, face-
Photos and cine film from through the years were displayed and past pupils enjoyed trying to spot themselves and their friends!
Entertainment came from Sheffield Young Singers performing songs from the musical ‘African Jigsaw’; morris dancing from Sheffield City Morris and more music from Jellybean Jazz and the Bus Pass Buskers as well as a chance for the children to share their singing with everyone.
The Grand Raffle was drawn at the end of the day and our celebratory balloon release saw balloons fly as far as Wartmannsroth in Germany.
We owe a huge debt of thanks to all of the parents, staff, governors and friends who gave of their time so generously to make the day such a success and to our sponsors for the amazing array of donated raffle prizes. We raised £2,390 to develop further our outdoor learning environment.
Commemorative Newspaper
A team of parents created a commemorative newspaper featuring photos, stories, memories and reflections from pupils through the ages. A copy of the newspaper was given to every child in nursery and to all our guests at the Garden Party.
