Year 5 smashed the Hoola Hoop Challenge today- Well done!

Thank you to all Broadbent Fold pupils for starting the year so well. Our new behaviour system is working very effectively. 

Our values are to be:

Ready

Respectful

Safe

Pupils know these already and are receiving stars for displaying excellent standards in behaviour. I would specifically like to thank Daniel Swift for sharing in assembly that he has discussed the policy at home with his mum. This is great to hear! 

Year 4 are enjoying our current topic - It's a Mystery!  Our journey began when we used torches in our darkened classroom to recreate the conditions of a dark cellar and the discovery of a set of long forgotten images that had been left with a publisher; all with a title and a suggestive caption.

We were delighted to be asked to work with sculptor Michael Condron again!   Michael  last worked with some of our pupils back in 2016 when he was commissioned to create a sculpture for the new Ashton Interchange, which is now nearing completion.  On Friday, pupils from Key Stage 2 created some designs based on 'Journeys' to be included in the final artwork.  Twelve children drew their designs before scratching them onto plaster disks.  Michael will fire glass onto the plaster disks in his kiln so their designs will be moulded into the coloured glass circles that will form part of the publi

When we came into school this morning, we saw a trail of footprints. After being archaeologists this afternoon, we decided as a class that we thought they belogned to a dinosaur. 

Year 1 enjoying their Christmas dinner, Christmas party and visit from Santa.

Year 4's Christmas Party began with dancing, playing statues, corners and pass the parcel!  Then it was time for party food, gratefully received from parents, Christmas music and joke telling! It was a lovely atmosphere in Year 4 and a wonderful time was had by all!  Merry Christmas!   Mrs Blomeley

As part of their topic - Christmas around the World - Year 4 wanted to help children who are not so fortunate as they are.  They used their maths skills to see just what they could buy to help them from the UNICEF site "Inspired Gifts".  All of the class, helped by Mrs Gething, enjoyed making delicious Peppermint Creams to sell to children at school.

Year 4 created some fantastic homework projects when they were given the task of researching how people celebrate Christmas around the world!  They shared their presentations with the class and we all learnt some interesting and unusual facts.
