Year 1 really enjoyed swinging and just 'hanging around' in the hammock!

This week, we have been using the different effects on IT Paint to create a piece of art work. The children created some fantastic pictures of Bees linked to this half term topic. Well done everybody! 

Well done to the children who have received this weeks Good to be Green and Head-Teacher awards, keep up the super work/behaviour. Well done our two Silver Star points winners and to A and E who have been busy outside of school working on the swimming and football skills. Keep up the hard work!

Broadbent Fold welcomed Ash today who is freestyle footballer. He is an expert at tricks and skills with a football and became a Guinness World Record holder by practising for over 17 years, up to 5 hours a day. The children even got the chance to have a go at some of the tricks too. What a fantastic assembly!

A massive congratulations to all our award winners in Year 4. 

The snow didn't stop our girls taking part in #letgirlsplay last week. It was lovely to see so many girls in KS1 and KS2 taking part in our girls football tournaments. A big thank you to our Year 6 Game Changers in making the #letgirlsplay events successful and encouraging lots of other girls to play football.

The children loved relaxing in the hammock. We found some fantastic minibeasts, played The Zombie Game and found a beautiful heart shaped leaf. 

As part of our English work, we have been researching Jane Goodall who has observed chimpanzees in the wild for over 40 years and has changed the way people think about them. She is an activist and conservationist, teaching society about the importance of saving habitats and how closely related humans are to chimpanzees.  Read all about her in our biographies that will be posted next week.

To aid the children's memory of the organs and functions of the digestive system, Year 4 got the chance to make a life size model of the digestive system today, using one of their friends. It was lots of fun. 

Year 5 had a brilliant visit to Tatton Park today to go back in time to find out what lwas like for the Anglo Saxons!  They were confronted by the scary, Viking character of "Harold Bloodaxe" who had arrived in the Anglo Saxon settlement to claim his Danegelds (taxes).  Whilst there, the children helped to thresh the wheat, grind the flour and mix the dough, ready for baking bread.
