Year 6 planned a fair and comparative test on which beaks would be the most effective at scooping up foods. We had a lot of fun this week carrying out the investigation to see which birds are suitable to collect food and thrive and which would unfortunately eventually die off! I'm sure nobody tried to cheat their way into survival!! 

Have a look at our photographs. 

Can you have another go at this at home with materials around the house- send in your photographs. 

This week, year 6 supported anti-bullying week by wearing our odd socks on Monday.

We have discussed what bullying is and this years theme 'one kind word'

The children have produced these great posters to prevent bullying- we have displayed these all around school.

Year 6 please see the attached poster- 10 ways to show kindness online. 

Lots of awards for our lovely Year 3 children. There have been Bronze Awards, our pencil awards for following our school rules, Head Teacher's Awards for amazing work and attitude to learning and certificates for our cross country superstars. Well done everyone! 

Well done to the children who received this weeks Head Teacher and Good to be Green awards! Super effort! Keep up the hard work everybody!

On Monday, Broadbent Fold took part in the quicksticks competition where we had a Year 5 team and a Year 6 team taking part.

The Year 5 team came 4th in the tournament beating Audenshaw Primary School 3-0, drawing with Corrie Primary School (B team) 0-0 and Yew Tree Primary School 0-0 and losing to Corrie Primary School (A team) 0-2.

Year 4 have been working hard with Mrs Simpson in music. They are writing rhythms, reading music, learning songs and playing the penny whistles. Some children have decided to join the after school club too and will be performing in our Christmas carol service. 

Year 5 have been identifying the trees using their leaves and using their senses to find the trees.

Year 6 were really pleased that they managed to light a mini fire in forest school this week. Well done!

Year 4 have enjoyed identifying trees using their leaves and using the leaves to make faces, people and animals.  They have also listened to the story of The Green Man and used clay to make faces in the trees.
