Year 1 had a virtual workshop with a South Pole Explorer today. We learnt all about what they would need to take on a South Pole expedition, what it is like in Antarctica and we got to ask lots of questions. We loved finding out that the explorers had to wash themselves with ice and even used ice instead of toilet paper! We found it funny that it was that cold that one of the explorers had an icicle hanging off his nose!

As part of Year 3's outdoor learning children explored the great outside and looked closely at trees and leaves. On our school field we have hornbeam and silver birch trees. We used iPads to photograph trees and leaves. In class we sketched leaves and trees.

We hope our school will be tree champions. 

Which trees can you identify?

Year 1 loved taking part in the Freddy Fit circuit training session and had fun completing all the different activities - hula hooping, lunges, star jumps, squat jumps and more! 

Year 3 had a brilliant day supporting Pyjamarama fundraising campaign! We shared our favourite stories with our friends and played Who Am I game where we had to ask questions and guess book character's name. 

Year 5 have had an amazing morning creating images for our mural. Today, they used pastels and watercolours to create a tree collage. Look at the amazing images they've created. 

Congratulations to our Y6 Stars of the week Niamh and Amelia.

Niamh joined in with our Speakers Trust Workshop with confidence even though she felt a little nervous. Fantastic efforts Niamh- this is a difficult thing to do.

Amelia is incredibly hardworking in the class and always joins in with enthusiasm and positivity. You are a fantastic role model. 

Noah achieved the Headteacher's Award for his fantastic public speaking skills- perhaps a future Prime Minister :)

It is lovely to see how much the children's handwritng and presentation skills are developing from the start of the year. All of these children have impressed their teachers with these skills! Their magnificent work has been displayed on our writing display near Mrs Parker's office.

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Park Bridge today!  They were able to see first  hand some of the features of rivers that they have already learnt, as well as finding out much more about the history of the local landscape.  Finding mini beasts in the river helped to show how clean the water was and they used floating oranges to find the speed of the river!  As always, Year 4 were amazing ambassadors for Broadbent Fold!  We were very proud of all of you today!  Mrs Blomeley, Miss Laitl and Mrs Anson.

Year 4 enjoyed their session with Freddie Fit!  He was looking for potential leaders for September, when they will be the new Year 5s!  He spotted quite a few children who impressed him!  Well done Year 4!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 4 finished off their Tudor topic with six amazing plays based on Henry VIII and his wives!  The class wrote and performed their own play scripts and even had a special visitor to watch some of their performances - Mrs Parker!  We definitely have some future actors and actresses in this class!  Brilliant work Year 4!  Well done!  Mrs Blomeley
