Well done to the children who received their awards today.  Head Teacher's Certificates were awarded for brilliant fact files on Bessie Coleman and Good to be Green pencils were given to two children who demonstrated they were ready to learn, respectful and safe. 

In Yoga this week, we have been learning about belly breathing and relaxing our bodies. We have learnt and performed a number of yoga poses including: tree, butterfly, mountain, cloud, shooting star, planet, moon and aeroplane. We then played a game called back to back. We finished off our session reading “Aliens Love Underpants” by Claire Freedman whilst the children lay or sat with their eyes closed. The children continued to sit or lie quietly and concentrate on their breath for up to a minute.

The Eco leaders would like to launch a competition to design a new sign for our blue paper bins in school. They would like the sign to explain why it is important to recycle paper - e.g. Save the world, recycle your paper. The sign should be eye catching and colourful on A4 paper. Please send your entries into school by Friday 4th November and the Eco leaders will be choosing the winners from each class. 

Well done to the children who received this week's Head-teacher and Good to be Green awards, they are well deserved! Well done. Keep up the hard work!

A fabulous awards week this week. I'm very proud of all our winners. Great work everyone. 

Year 3 have been performing Space poems, their voices have been so clear when they performed their poems. Thank you to parents for supporting children who have obviously rehearsed at home.

Children have enjoyed sharing their Space poetry in Space week.

Yesterday, Year 5 stepped back in time to the Victorian era when they visited George Street Chapel in Oldham!  Whilst there, they met with real characters from Victorian times who explained about many aspects of the hard life that Victorians were faced with.  In the afternoon, Year 5 enjoyed taking part in some fun and interesting activities including handwriting with ink, playing historical detectives, making peg dolls and completing a challenging jigsaw!  Well done Year 5 - you were amazing!  Mrs Blomeley

We have started to develop our diverse section of books in the KS2 Library and in our KS1 classrooms. We are very excited about the range of books that we have added to our library. These include books, characters and authors from the Black, African and Minority Ethnic community and books which celebrate characters who are neurodiverse. 

Have a look in the KS2 Library for our new books with the brown sticker bands.

This week Year 6 visited Rayner Stephens High School to take part in a Spanish afternoon. They started leaning vocabulary to use a train station, bank and cafe. After a game of pac-man to practise using the vocabulary, we then went down to the watinig room in the train ticket office. They then used their Spanish phrases to change a travellers cheque, order a train ticket and spend their remaining Euros in the cafe. It was fantástico!

October is Black History Month. At Broadbent Fold we continue to raise awareness of equality and diversity. Check out our year group blogs to see which significant black individual each class has been studying. We are here to learn from the past to make a difference to our present day and our future for everyone.
