King Charles III Coronation

Year 1 had lots of fun celebrating King Charles III's coronation on Friday. We had fish and chips in the classroom, came wearing red, white and blue, had our faces painted, designed crowns and designed place mats to eat off. We even had a visit from King Charles and Camilla themselves.


African necklaces

As part of our topic 'Hot or Cold?', we have been looking at Kenya. We learnt about the clothing that people wear here including the African tribes and made necklaces in this style using lots of patterns. 


World Daily Mile Day

We loved taking part in World Daily Mile day last week. Some of us said we were very tired after taking part and some of us carried on running at break time too! Well done everyone for not stopping!


Good Luck Year 6!

All of us here at Broadbent Fold would like to take the opportunity to wish all of year 6 the best of luck for their tests next week.

We are very proud of how hard you have all worked this year- you are all stars!


Litter picking at Gorse Hall

The Eco Leaders did a fantastic job when they went litter picking at Gorse Hall.  With the help of Mr Pickles from the Friends of Gorse Hall and Mr Moon from Tameside Rotary and we collected 4 big bags full of litter.  All of the children worked really hard even in the pouring rain.  Well done everyone for helping to improve our local environment which will help our wildlife to grow and thrive.


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.

Please ask your child to share their poetry with you on Thursday.
