Year 3 had a fantastic forest school session this week: Empathy eggs, hotdogs, pizza wraps and even toasting marshmallows!

Year 1 made their bug hotels at home and some children decided to put them into the Forest School area. Great job everyone!

The pupils that represented Broadbent Fold in the basketball competition did us proud coming 4th in Tameside! They worked really well together as a team both attacking and defending on the court and showing great sportsmanship throughout. They only conceded 2 goals throughout the entirety of the competition and had some fantastic shots themselves.

Broadbent Fold vs Our Lady of Mount Carmel 0-0

Broadbent Fold vs St Mary's, Droylsden 0-0

Year 1 had so many entries to the Easter bonnet and egg competition, it was so hard to pick some winners. A big well done to Mason and Norah who were the winners for Year 1 with their amazing home made designs. Well done to everyone that took part. 

There are free, family activities at Tameside Libraries during the upcoming Easter holiday, all with the theme of In the Garden. These are open to all, although aimed at children aged 4-11, and are drop in. There are also workshops available run by Explore Learning for 7-9 year olds at Ashton and Droylsden libraries which need to be booked in advance.

Please see the attached posters for more details.

Year 5 brought in some EGGSCELLENT eggs yesterday to enter into the Easter Egg Competition!  What a tough decision it was to choose the two winners!  The Adams Family and the Anglo Saxons won and the winners were very pleased with their prizes!  Well done everyone!  Mrs Blomeley

Well doen to our Y6 Egg Winners Mia and Lexi for their stunning creations.

This was a very hard decision as the standard this year was so high!

Today, the children have been using Scratch Jr on the ipads in small groups to create simple algorithms. The children started the lesson by choosing a Sprite and a suitable backdrop. The children then explored some basic algorithms to get their sprite to move. The children were given s challenge to get their Sprite to move to create different shapes. The children took notes of the different algorithms that worked which they can refer back to next lesson.The children have also explored adding another Sprite and got both of their Sprites to move and have a conversation.

Well done to our two Easter Egg competition winners.
