Year 5 performed brilliantly at their "River Deep and Mountain High" assembly on Friday 17th July!  Based on this half term's theme they were able to share their knowledge and singing/dancing talents with their parents and the rest of school.  Following the assembly lots of parents visited the classroom to celebrate some of the fantastic work their children have produced this term.  Maths challenges and river word definitions games proved a hit with parents and the children really enjoyed this opportunity of sharing the classroom with their parents.

Their fabulous design of a new fruity smoothy called "Zogo 5" won a group of Year 5 children the opportunity to pitch their product at the Dragons' Den event at Ravensfield School this month. The children faced six "Dragons", including our very own Governor, Mrs Fielding, with some gruelling questions about their research and marketing ideas for their enterprise.  They demonstrated real teamwork together with excellent presentational skills and should be immensely proud of their hard work.

Children from Year 5 have been in demand this half term!  Three of our computing experts from Year 5 were invited to attend an event called KidsMeet with Mr Chaudry at Astley College.  This is a new initiative to enable children to share their learning across schools.  Our representatives showcased their recently created promotional videos and games to children from other schools in the area.  Teachers and children were extremely impressed by their excellent movie making and programming skills! Well done!

It was such a perfect summer's day for Year 5's visit to Park Bridge!  The weather was beautiful and the class were able to see for themselves some of the parts of a river they had been learning about in class.  Even our tour guide Lesley was impressed with Year 5's knowledge!  We saw an example of a meander, a weir and a culvert (a structure that allows water to flow under a road,)  We also found lots of plants around the river and evidence of different types of seed dispersal.

We had an amazing time at our sports day. Everyone tried their hardest and supported their teams.

A new sport!

Friday 10th July found Year 6 on their annual activity day at Debdale Sailing Centre. The weather stayed fine and all the children enjoyed all the activities. The day finished off at school for a sleepover in the hall!!!

End of year celebrations

Yesterday, Hannah, Tessa, Molly and Amber went to Copley High School with Mrs Gething to take part in a Maths Challenge. There were twelve Dukinfield and Stalybridge school teams taking part and the opposition was top class! Broadbent Fold did really well and came fifth with 153 points!
Well done girls!

We had an amazing time on our Blackpool trip. We saw some fascinating creatures in the Sealife Centre and had lots of fun at the beach. Thank you to all our helpers!
