Today the KS2 Reading Ambassadors met together for their training with Cassie from and Joy from Tameside Libraries. They have ideas ready to set a whole school reading challenge.
Thank you for your ideas- what a great team!
Week beginning the 4th October is national space week. The school immersed themselves in learning about space. They have been fascinated about our solar system, the planets, the moons, space travel, astronauts and other galaxies. Year 2 even went to Jodrell Bank as a trip. Look at how fantastic the schools' display looks.
The whole school have been studying important black historical figures. The children have worked hard to learn and perform poems, find out about segregation and the American civil rights movement, to learn about inspirational figures and their fight for equality, freedom and reduce racism. We all hope in the future for an equal society, where regardless of the colour of our skin, we are treated fairly and with respect.
It was the third and final week of the cross country this Saturday and it certainly was feeling more like cross country weather but that didn't stop the pupils from Broadbent Fold. We had some amazing results with children knocking a minute off their time from previous weeks, pupils finishing in higher ranked positions and we even had George win the Under 9 boys race! It was lovely to see the Broadbent Fold community come together with pupils and parents all cheering on and supporting children in the different races.
Year 3 are very exciting to be starting The Linking Schools Project.
The process supports all children to build connections with others as they undertake an exciting, learning journey together with their class.
The key areas focused on are:
'Who am I ?'
'Who are we?'
'Where do we live?'
On display we have our Linking School's jumper and our Broadbent Fold jumper we've exchanged them as the first part of our journey.
Coming soon....bunting made my our Linking School!
Well done to these children for achieving a Mathletics award.
