This week has been Science Week. We had a super afternoon playing on the Potato Bus, learning all about how potatoes grow, weighing potatoes and making healthy food plates. Well done to everybody who also brought in thier worst invention ever!!!!!!!! Super work everyone

Last week we celebrated World Book Day and we had a lovely time sharing books together.  The outfits were amazing!  Luke was our class winner as Fantastic Mr Fox but everyone looked fantastic really.  Well done to everyone and a big thank you for all of your support.  A special thank you to the lovely Grandparents that came into our class and shared stories with us as well.

We have been reading an Australian story called Wombat Stew! We decided to make our own Wombat Stew outside with ingedients from the book such as mud, twigs, leaves and stones.  We had lots of fun acting out the story and singing along whilst we made the stew.

Year 2 have been really enjoying their Australia topic.  We have taken a quick trip to Australia and explored the local environment.  We've been finding out so much about the fantastic animals that live there.

We have had a super day today. We all came dressed up as book characters and had lots of lovely stories read to us by our visting Grandmas and Grandads. Thank you to everybody who came into year 1.

We all looked fabulous in our World Book Day costumes. We loved our grandparents coming in to read stories to us. A magnificent day was had by all! 

Have you seen the latest creatures to be roaming the classrooms of Broadbent Fold? Year 6 have been busy researching, writing and filming their own nature documentaries about endangered animals. A couple of particular class favourites are the giant panda and the sun bear. 

How can we help these endangered animals to survive in the wild? We have written to Sir David Attenborough, using our best formal letter writing, to suggest an animal that we would like him to film next. Let's hope he listens and raises awareness of our furry friends!

Year 4 have been really creative with their new topic- Robots. They are thoroughly engrossed in the Iron Man story and our air raid shelter from WW2 has been converted into a cave to enable the children to imagine the cliff that Iron Man fell from, scattered along the beach. The children have been really imaginative using imotion and are really eager to create a Stop Motion movie using robots. Mrs Slate and Mrs McCoy have been highly impressed with the amount of effort they have put in already at home, as the children have been bringing in electronic gadgets, robots, models and information related to their new topic. What a great start to the second part of the Spring term.

We had a wonderful time on our treasure hunt. We followed a trail of diamonds, jewels and coins which led us to different clues and finally to the treasure! We helped the pirate to sort out his treasure matching all the same coins together.

Our new topic for this half term is The Secret Garden written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The children will be transported into a magical world of flowers, plants and animals. We will use the story to inspire our writing and it will be the focus for our art sessions. Keep watching our blog to see what we get up to over this half term.
