Thank you to the PTFA for our pumpkin picking fun yesterday. Everyone had fun and ate some delicious treats. Thank you for supporting our school. Our PTFA will share the funds raised and the focus of these funds.

We started our Halloween preparation a bit earlier this year! We made delicious chocolate apples and decorated masks ready for trick or treating next week! 

Well done to all of the children who receieved this weeks awards, you have all worked super hard. This week we had our Head-teacher, Good to be Green, Vocab Ninja, and the Summer Reading Challenge awards. Well done everybody, keep up the hard work! 

Year 2 got a head-teacher award today for... their super home learning activities about space. All of the children have settled into year 2 well and have really enjoyed this half terms topic 'space'. Well done Everybody. Have a lovely half term! 

This week it was extremely hard to choose our good to be green winners, we are very proud of the behaviour and hard work attitude. We also have our head teacher award winners.

A new award this week was to our two vocab ninjas - well done everyone.

A massive congratulations to our merit winner Isobel and Ruby  for their excellent attitude towards their home  learning. Sam and Nathan for their exceptional use of our vocabulary ninja words. Also to Oliver and Polly for earning their good to be green pencils. Lots of children have earned their bronze awards too. Exceptional work. 

Yesterday, we made star biscuits in design and technology. Firstly, we designed our biscuits, including the ingrediants we needed. Then, we made them in small groups, weighing out the ingredients, mixing it together, we then rolled it out and used cutters to make our star shape. Finally we got to eat them and discuss the texture (what they felt like) and what they tasted like.  

Today we banished boring sentences! We pretented to be teachers and corrected and improved boring sentences by adding exciting adjective and fronted adverbials. 

We had lots of fun today making and investigating shadows. We learnt that a shadow is formed when an opaque object blocks the light falling on it. We also noticed that the size of the shadow changed depending how close the object was to the light source. 

A big well done to the Year 5 and 6's who represented Broadbent Fold in the tag rugby competition this week. They all did the school proud coming 3rd in their group. They won against Moorside and Greenside 2 and lost to Russell Scott and Manchester Road 1. All pupils showed brilliant teamwork and great sportsmanship.
