Children talk about ways to keep safe online through e-safety lessons. At home, children can increase their knowledge further by using the APP Internet Matters.

Internet Matters’ is an app designed to help parents talk about online safety issues with their children, and to ensure that they make smart choices to stay safe online.

The split-screen collaborative app helps them think about what they would do if they were faced with different situations online; from cyberbullying to sharing content with someone they don’t know

Year 1 had a very busy time in their forest school session.  They have been playing a game that involves searching for wool 'worms', making nests and animal homes.  They have been climbing trees and made a new friend called Slowy the snail!

The children in Reception had a fantastic climbing and hiding in the trees.  They also decorated wood cookies to make spinners and medals for Fathers Day.

Children have enjoyed assemblies and reading information about our diverse world.

We are proud of ourselves and our differences. 

Year 3 have produced acrostic poems about ' Diversity'.

In Science today, we got into small groups and we used a Venn diagram to discuss and sort some living and non-living things. The children discussed each of the pictures / things and put them where they thought they belonged. We then discussed as a class some items that the children place in the middle and gave explanations as to why it was living or not living and came to final conclusion. The children decided that a living thing eats, drinks, moves and reproduces. We then discussed how we know humans are alive and I introduced the children to MRSGREN and what this acronym stands for.

Diversity week - Today the children had lot's of discussions and compared how they were all different. They talked about pets, hair colour, skin colour, favourite fruit, who they live with, who is in their family, what is their favourite weather, favourite colour, what is their hobby and what language they speak. They then drew a picture of themselves to show if they are the same or different. Every picture was different!

Last week year 6 learnt the rules of the Ancient Mayan ball game 'pok-ta-pok'. We had a go at using the rules to play our own games- we decided to leave out the decapitation for the losing team. The children became very inventive with ways to pass the ball without using their hands, feet or head. 

We then created our own similar games with specific rules about which body parts to use. What a fun way to hook into our new topic about Ancient Maya. 

Congratulations to our stars of the week Maisie and Joshua. 

Maisie really enjoyed our health and wellbeing sessions last week. She joined in with great enthusiasm giggling all the way through her yoga moves.

Joshua impressed me with his skill playing the Ancient Mayan game 'pok-ta-pok'. As you are not allowed to pass the ball with your head, hands or feet he made up a very inventive elbow pass.

Reuben and Ava were awarded the good to be green pencil for being ready, respectful and safe. 

A great first week back to Summer 2!

Welcome to School Diversity Week 2022!

This year, School Diversity Week is bigger than ever – thousands of primary and secondary schools are signed up to take part and celebrate, showing their pupils that being LGBT is something to be celebrated. From talking about diverse families and hearing from children's authors in our storytime series. We are delighted that Broadbent Fold are supporting young people across the UK.

The Year 6's enjoyed taking part in a rounders competition this week against other schools in Tameside. They showed great progress throughout out the tournament and really developed their understanding of the rules and their teamwork. Well done to everyone who took part!
