Dilemma in Year 5!

Year 5 were excited, and a little confused, when a  mysterious parcel arrived through the post for them!  Amongst other things it contained a faded football, a variety of shells and pebbles, a cryptic message in a bottle and a letter from “Michael” asking for advice.  Year 5 have already discovered that the story is none other than Michael Morpurgo’s Kensuke’s Kingdom and they are waiting for the story to unfold to help them to solve Michael's dilemma!   Watch this space!  Mrs Blomeley


Year 5's pledge to join the Mini London Marathon !

Year 5 made their pledges last week to join the TCS Mini London Marathon!  The challenge in schools around the country is for every pupil to pledge to take part and help set a new Guinness World Records title!  We are hoping to receive an official Guinness World Records certificate to keep and display with pride at Broadbent Fold!  The class ran their first daily mile this week and had great fun!  Mrs Blomeley


Football Skills in Year 5!

Year 5 have started their Football sessions this week with Mr Williams the Sports Coach.  He was impressed with the class and, as a result, they were awarded the Sports Trophy in Friday's assembly!  In this unit of PE, the children will recap some of the fundamental skills of football and work on their decision making in game situations.  Well done Year t!  Mrs Blomeley

Matt Goodfellow returns to BBF!

On Thursday 27th April we will be joined by Manchester based poet Matt Goodfellow. He will perform some of his poems in assembly and during poetry workshops throughout the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed working with him last year and I am sure they will create some amazing poetry with him again next week.
