Last week, some Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a tag rugby competition against other schools in Tameside.

Our A team qualified for the finals winning 2 games, drawing 1 and losing 1, scoring 8 tries overall.

Our B team came 5th in their group scoring 7 tries. 

Both teams used both attacking and defensive strategies that they have learnt with Charlie from the Jason Robinson Fou ration and showed great teamwork throughout. Well done Broadbent Fold!

Today we were visited by our new governor Agnes Fough. She shared with us the special 'Asante naming the child ceremony'

The children learned some of the words for naming babies after the day of the week they were born on. We also practised reading out a script which a privileged person would read out to name a new baby in the Asante culture. 

This was fascinating.

We have really enjoyed our hockey lessons this term and had the chance to play matches today.

Year 5 sketched some great chimney sweeps in their sketch books, then used the medium of charcoal to create amazing pictures for their Victorian display!  Fantastic artwork Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Our amazing winners this week were awarded Headteacher merits for beautiful manners to their peers and staff, and for brilliant sketching skills!  Our Good to be Green winners have followed our school rules by being Ready, Respectful and Safe!  The first Vocab Ninja award in Year 5 was given for outstanding use of vocabulary in discussions and writing.  Finally, certificates were awarded for the children who participated in the 2024-2025 Pokemon Primary Schools' Cup.  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

It's been a FLYING start to Year 1! Today we celebrated all the hard work we have been doing this half term around our theme 'Where will your powers take you? The children all dressed up as their favourite Superhero and took part in some fun activities! The children have been busy drawing, colouring, cutting and sticking to create a scenery for their live art work.

Well done to this weeks Head-Teacher, Good to be Green and Vocabulary Ninja award winners. You have all worked super hard this week! Well done to T, Z and O who have been busy working hard at their after-school club and achieving special awards. Well done everyone!
