Year 1 at the Science Fair

Year 1 loved visiting the school Science fair. They got to guess the flavour of crisps by smelling them, see how many cubes could fit in a boat before it sank, make fizzy colours and so much more. They even got to pass electricity through everyone at the end to make the bar light up and learnt if they let go of hands and broke the circuit that it wouldn't light up anymore. A big thank you to the Year 4 pupils for running it; you were great and I'm sure you are Scientists in the making!


British Science Week

In 1994 British Science Week began - 30 years ago. Here at Broadbent Fold we are teaching our future inventors and scientists! Keep an eye on the blog for our workshops, experiments, awe and wonder! 


#Letgirlsplay day

What a great day seeing so many girls playing football! Some Year 5 and 6 pupils went to Rayner Stephens to take part in a girls football festival while others played football at breaks and lunchtime. Our amazing Game Changers were awarded their well deserved badges for their dedication to girls football too. 


World Book Day

Year 1 had a fantastic time today for Wolrd Book Day. They loved dressing up as characters from their favourite books - can you guess what any of them are? We also enjoyed sharing our favourite books with each other.


Game Changers Assembly

Our Game Changers were very brave today doing an assembly infront of the whole school telling everyone about their role as Game Changers and #letgirlsplay day which is happening tomorrow. #Letgirlsplay is all about promoting equal access in girls football by 2025. We cannot wait for th fun activities to continue tomorrow!


World Book Day events 2024

World Book Day is celebrated between 7th-8th March and children may dress up on Friday 8th in their World Book Day costumes or in their own comfy clothes- please remember to bring in your favourite book from home to read.   The Reading Ambassadors and Librarians have set a World Book Day competition. Your child needs to create a new front cover for their class text which they are reading this half term.


Planting beans

We loved planting our beans and are excited to watch them grow. We made predictions for which on we thought would grow the best- in the dark, with water and sunlight or with no water. Let's see what happens!


Sean Perkins visit

We met author and illustrator Sean Perkins today who read us his book 'Ben and Oscar birthday party' 

He was very creative and used sound effects to narrate his story. We even enjoyed a sing song with his guitar to finish.

Please remember that you can order one or both of his signed books. Bring in your slip and money next week.
