Today our KS2 Reading Ambassadors went to Dukinfield Town Hall to take part in a celebration event with lots of other Tameside schools. It was lovely to see them up on the stage to receive their certificate to thank them for their hard work this year. I am super proud of them all.
Do you have what it takes to promote a love of reading next year? Maybe you could be the next Reading Ambassador to represent our school!
Today we had a visitor from Tameside Libraries who introduced the new Summer Reading Challenge which is now open to enter. This summer, join the Ready, Set, Read! team and their animal mascots for the Reading Challenge as they use their skills to weave their way through a summer obstacle course. The Challenge will celebrate play and participation, encouraging you to engage in games and sports in any way that best suits you!
What a day! Today, Year 2 visited Formby beach as part of our topic 'Can we help save the Oceans?' and our Science topic 'Living things and their habitats.' The children enjoyed walking through the forest whilst searching for Red Squirrels, having a picnic, playing games, building sandcastles on the beach and finishing our fabulous day with a refreshing ice lolly in the air conditioning! Thank you to all the staff and helpers who supported our visit today, we couldn't have done it without you!
We are ranked 2nd in engagement in active travel in Tameside! Well done everyone for all your hard work and keep it up!
Back to the 70s with 1970s song in our morning sing assembly! Everyone dressed ready in the era that Broadbent Fold was first opened the 1970s.
Well done to this week's Head-teacher and Good to be Green award winners, you have really stood out this week and the end of the academic year is creeping upon us. Well done to those children who have been working hard at their after-school clubs- lot's of awards received. Keep up the hard work everyone!
Year 6 performed a poem by Bill Bilston in assembly today. We first looked at this poem when we did our Windrush topic and it explores refugees. The poem can be read in two directions and at first year 6 were shocked at how racist the poem seemed to be!

They performed it fantastically today :)
