Librarians

The librarians have already started their roles so well. They have made sure the KS1 and KS2 libraries are tidy. They have organised lunch time boxes of reading books for children to read at lunch time. They also run a lunch time Library Club where they read, play games and make book marks.

They are all already wonderful! 


Broadbent Fold Girls Football Tournament

The Year 5 and 6 Broadbent Fold girls football team have had a great start to the year! They played in the Pokémon tournament against Flowery Field and St Mary's, Dukinfield winning both games 1-0. The girls showed great promise and have really developed their defensive skills . Well done girls!


Marvellous Maths

Year 4 have been working really hard at understanding numbers and their place value. Today, they had the opportunity to compare 5 digit numbers using the place value discs and place value dice. 


Humanist Speaker in Year 5!

Year 5 were fortunate to welcome a humanist speaker into the class today!  Kevin explained how his philosophy was to treat others the way we would like to be treated ourselves.  We watched a video about animals helping each other by instinct, which provoked some very interesting debates!  Year 5 asked some sensible and thoughtful questions and Kevin was extremely impressed with their behaviour and their enquiring minds!  Thank you to Mrs Slate, our RE Leader, for organising our visitor!  Mrs Blomeley

Victorian Timeline in Year 5!

Year 5 have started their journey back in time to learn about the Victorians!  We have learnt that the Victorian period began in 1837, when Victoria became Queen, until her death in 1901, when her son, Edward, became the new monarch!  We compared this to the recent coronation of our own new monarch, King Charles II who became King after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth lI, last year. Of course, we found out about many other dates and inventions during the Victorian period which we will explore in more detail during our topic.  Mrs Blomeley
