This morning, we have been exploring 6 different suffixes (-ation, -ly, -ness, -ment, -less and -ful). We worked in pairs to write as many words to fit each of the suffixes. Well done everybody.
Well done to the children who receievd last weeks Head-teacher and Good to be Green awards! Super effort!

The Iron Man needed help so Year 3 learnt about pulleys and decided to create a design to rescue him.
They planned, designed and tested their models in order to try to lift the Iron Man.
Great team work took place with lots of discussion on how to make models. Children asked each other how they could improve their designs.
Together we evaluated models, we decided models needed to be more sturdy and strong to stop the Iron Man from breaking the designs.
Our Pupil Leaders have decided that every Wednesday is a wellbeing 'check-in' day. On Wellbeing Wednesday we take time to chat, to do yoga, meditation and share things on our mind. Staff and pupils are joining in with these special days every week. Join in at home too and talk to each other.

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 class who worked really hard to organise and run the Science Fair today. They were superb role models for our younger children and have shared their scientific knowledge so well all morning. Please look through the photographs.

On Tuesday the Science Boffin Vicki visited Broadbent Fold as part of British Science Week.
During the assembly we watched paper disappear when she lit it on fire - this is special paper called 'flash paper'
Miss Harvey was kindly volunteered to have water tipped on her head... luckily the water had disappeared from the cup. This was because slush powder was in the bottom of the cup- this is a special powder which absorbs water. This is what is used in disposable nappies.

This week in science week, we are focusing on plants and 'growth'. Today we have started an investigation to see what a plant needs to stay healthy. The children planted their seeds in mixed groups. Firstly, they planted one ‘everything’ pot that has everything the children think that plants need. They then planted 4 more pots, with one pot for each condition they are testing (no light, no water, the wrong temperature, no soil). Each child is also investigating the life cycle of a plant.

Today, we have taken part in an incredible illusions workshop with Science Boffins. Oh what fun we had, finding animals hidden in the pictures.
The theme for the 2022 Science Week is ‘Growth’
