The Year 6 Quicksticks team took part in the Tameside final on Wednesday night. They came 4th in their group and showed great resillience and teamwork. A special well done to Roban who got a school games badge for showing great passion during the competition and for being respectful. 

Year 6 had an amazing time during our evolution and inheritance workshop this week. I am so proud of how much knowledge you all remembered from our science topic, yet we still learnt so many new facts. We started the morning looking at the theory of evolution by natural selection and recreated the famous image from 'The Origin of Species'. We then went head-to-head in a competition to see who would survive picking up ping-pong balls with a spoon- and even using chopsticks!! We then explored how the human body is amazing using a circuit of PE activities.

Year 4 have been safely using peelers to whittle wood and make some Christmas decorations.  They also enjoyed playing a hiding game called Closer, Closer.

This week Year 5 have been having a go at fire lighting and making clay tree faces after learning about the story of the Green Man.

Year 1 have had another busy week and impressed everyone with their hard work. 

Elwin got the headteachers award for being a fantastic role model and always using his manners and Austin received one for his brilliant subtraction skills. 

Well done to Reeva and Olivia who got the good to be green pencils for staying on green all week and being ready, respectful and safe.

Alfie, Harry and Eva earnt their bronze award for receiving 50 star points. 

Keep up the hard work Year 1!

The girls football team played a cup match against Buckton Vale Primary School on Friday. They played fantastic together and won the match 2-0. Darcy was the player of the match for her brilliant goalkeeping skills. Well done girls! 

Broadbent Fold were amazing at Cross Country this weekend, running for a third Saturday- representing the school with pride. Well done to everyone involved. I was very proud of you all. Just fabulous!

Congratulations to this weeks Stars of the Week- Bobby, Ava, Matilda and Scarlett

Bobby has had a fantastic week- he has worked hard in science and English producing a great biography about Mary Anning. He has also researched megladons and why they became extinct.

Our super librarians- Ava, Matilda and Scarlett- have shown great dedication and enthusiasm keeping the library organised and tidy. They even took it upon themselves to talk to KS2 about damaged books they had found and to encourage other classes to look after our books. You are doing a great job ladies!!

Year 6 planned a fair and comparative test on which beaks would be the most effective at scooping up foods. We had a lot of fun this week carrying out the investigation to see which birds are suitable to collect food and thrive and which would unfortunately eventually die off! I'm sure nobody tried to cheat their way into survival!! 

Have a look at our photographs. 

Can you have another go at this at home with materials around the house- send in your photographs. 

This week, year 6 supported anti-bullying week by wearing our odd socks on Monday.

We have discussed what bullying is and this years theme 'one kind word'

The children have produced these great posters to prevent bullying- we have displayed these all around school.

Year 6 please see the attached poster- 10 ways to show kindness online.
