October is Black History Month. At Broadbent Fold we continue to raise awareness of equality and diversity. Check out our year group blogs to see which significant black individual each class has been studying. We are here to learn from the past to make a difference to our present day and our future for everyone.

What a fun lesson we've had today experimenting with mirrors! We used mirrors to write secret messages. We also played a game where we had to use mirrors to find out what letter or word our partner wrote and stuck to our back. We investigated if light really travels in straight lines by shining a torch on a mirror and looking where it was reflected on the ceiling.
We are celebrating World Space Week at Broadbent Fold. Look out for our competitions set by our Science Leader Miss Harvey. How do astronauts do their cleaning? With a vacuum!What's an astronaut's favourite tea? Gravitea!Where do astronauts train? At universe-ity!

Congratulations to Year 3 children who have been awarded certificates this week. Head Teacher's Award for artwork and brilliant behaviour. Good to be Green pencils for following our school values and a Handwriting Award for beautiful handwriting and presentation. Well done! You make us proud!
World Space Week begins on 4th October and Thursday 6th October is National Poetry Day.
We are going to combine them together for our new competition for Y1-6.
I would like you to create a space themed poem. This could be about the planets, our solar system or maybe you want to make a poem about aliens.
Present your poem colourfully and you may win a prize in your class. Hand your completed poem to your teacher by Friday 14th October and the winners will be announced in assembly in the final week of the half term.
Good luck.
Miss Harvey

Today, we investigated reflective materials. We shone torches on different materials and used iPads to measure brightness of the reflected light. We found out that shiny and smooth materials reflect light best.
A massive well done to our Year 3 award winners this week. These children received Head Teacher's Award for their hard work, immaculate manners and Good to be Green Awards for following our school values.
