This Saturday 27th February, our PSA are holding a bag packing fund raising event in our local Tesco store at Canonmills. This will take place from 10am to 4pm!
Several pupils, parents and staff have volunteered to help out at various points of the day, so come along and have your shopping packed by our helpful volunteers!
Hopefully we’ll raise a lot of money for the good of the school!
Here is some of the latest school information you may find interesting!
Broughton Primary have signed up to the Giving Machine. This is an organisation that allows schools and charities to get commission every time people shop online. To sign up to The Giving Machine simply visit the link below. Our PSA have also created a handy step by step guide to using the Giving Machine, which can be found in the ‘Parent Bodies’ section of our website.
Please sign up! It won’t cost you anything, and is a very quick way to help provide funds for the school.
Thanks!
Tuesday 9th February is Internet Safety Day.
At our assemblies this week, the children were developing their understanding of digital safety, and next week your child may be developing this further in class.
Below is a link to the Edinburgh Digital Learning Team’s website, where they have a range of resources, tips and advice for parents regarding internet safety.

The Pupil Council have counted all the money that was raised from the collections we had during both of our Christmas Celebrations at Broughton St. Mary’s church last term.
The final total raised was £207.48!
The Pupil Council have decided they would like to donate this to Cancer Research UK.
Huge thanks to everyone who gave towards the collections, and thanks also to our Pupil Council for counting it all up and choosing such a worthy cause!
