What an amazing opportunity we had today as Joseph's dad came and shared his childhood stories from Scotland. We revelled in his stories about The Loch Ness Monster and the Goddess Beira. The children loved the taste of Scotland as he'd brought in Iron Bru and homemade shortbread.  A massive thank you for coming and talking to the class, it really brought the Scottish myths and legends to life and gave them meaning. 

Today, we started our new Svience topic 'Aniamals including Humnas. We worked in small groups to describe how animals change as they grow. We matched offspring's to their adults and learnt the names of baby animals. . 

Our new topic in Year 5 will stretch our geographical skills, as we learn about the importance of rainforests to our planet.  This will lead us into the ongoing debate about Climate Change, where we will learn more about Greta Thunberg and her efforts to save our planet.   Find our Topic Information and Home Learning Challenge Grid below.

Year 1 loved working in groups to design and build castles. They even tested them to see if they would hold up weights and they were all strong enough that none of them collapsed. Well done everyone!

Last half term, Broadbent Fold loved taking part in the Urban Extreme Dance Fest and came away with a trophy for team spirit. We were really proud of everyone who took part; they encouraged and supported everyone in their own team and also cheered on other schools too. A big thank you to our dance coach Zoe for helping us with our routine and a special well done to Lottie who represented our school in a dance off. 

During the first half term, Year 6 wrote a letter to King Charles III as part of their learning about the royal monarchs. This week we received a very special reply from the Palace which we are delighted with. This is very special and will be framed in school for others to read.

Well done Year 6! 

Look at our amazing Year 4 dancers.They had a fantastic day out and won the 'Team Spirit' award. Well done everyone.
