Year 4 have drawn some fabulous pictures of the Caribbean in their Art lessons. They have particularly enjoyed researching about famous Jamaican people.

We have been looking at the paintings of Vincent Van Gough. We have recreated his famous 'Sunflowers' painting.

The children in Reception have been finding half of amounts.  They have been using the playdough, raisins, multilink and have loved playing a having board game.

Our topic this half term is growing. We have been reading Jack and the Beanstalk. Nursery have made pictures of what the top of the beanstalk might look like and Reception have been writing about magic beans and the story characters. 

During our Design and Technology session this week, we have made 3D circus settings and characters. The children had to colour, cut and fold their paper to create their amazing circus settings. Well done Year 1!

During this half term, we have been exploring art work by the famous artist LS Lowry. We have learnt how and why he became an artist and explored some of his work with a particular focus on his famous picture ‘The Football Match’. We have begun by taking a section of the painting and sketched in the missing section. We have explored using a range of pencil techniques to add effect and demonstrated our shading techniques with pencil crayons and pastels.  

Year 3 had a fantastic day making kites to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday. What a lovely day it was to fly them!

Good luck Year 6 with your Key Stage 2 tests next week. We know how brilliant you all are, just go out there and show everyone else how  fabulous you are! We are very proud of all your achievement. Believe in yourselves, we know you can do it! All the best from everyone at Broadbent Fold.

Year 4 are off to The Caribbean. Watch this space for information about where they have been jetting off to.

Our new topic is all about animals this half term. We are mainly looking at britsh wild animals. This week we have been discussing animals that we might find in our local environment. To start our topic work we went out onto the school field to search for evidence of animals. It was lots of fun and we found some interesting things!
