Year 6 Blog

The boys football team played against Bradley Green Primary Academy on Friday night. The boys had a fantastic game but unfortunately lost 4-0. Xander was player of the match for his energy and attempts at feeding the ball into other players to have shots at the goal. A special thank you to Daniel who volunteered to help the team last minute too. Well done to everyone who played, you did Broadbent Fold proud. 

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. 

Today Year 6 took part in some science activities at Rayner High School for British Science Week.

The children worked collaboraitvely to design and then make towers using only spaghetti and marshmallows. This was very tricky but the they rose to the challenge thinking about the strongest shapes to use to make a balanced structure and using the marshmallow as glue. Well done to our winning team Bobby, Ayden and Albert.

We then split into two groups to either dissect a sheep heart or make parachutes for an egg.

In Year 6 we will have a competition to see who can grow the healthiest, tallest sunflower. We will look after these in class at first but then will eventually plant them on the school grounds.

We have taken part in the British Science Week competition to design a growth poster- we will choose a winner from the class to win a certificate.

We will be investigating the best conditions for plants to grow by measuring the growth of spring onions to discover the variables which affect growth.
