Today, Year 4 had the fantastic opportunity to virtually meet John Dougherty. He started off his festival with a song about Stink Bomb and Ketchup. He got us all up dancing and went on to explain his stories. It was fabulous to be online with other schools in Tameside. John told us some ideas about how and why he wrote his stories and where he got his inspiration from. It was truly brilliant.
On Thursday 2nd March, Broadbent Fold will celebrate World Book Day. Please see the attached newsletter with all of the information and events that will be taking place.

Year 4 had the chance to experiment with electrical components todays. They were predicting whether certain circuits were complete or not. They were extremely pleased when they made the circuit complete and light the bulb. Some groups even managed to create a working motor and got the buzzer working too and managed to break the circuit using a switch. What a great scientific afternoon.

Internet Safety 2023 is "Want to talk about it" Today in class we talked about how we use the internet. We looked at what to do when we are confronted with issues. The children were quite aghast at the age restrictions on some social media sites and games that they regularly use. However, they did come up with some fantastic solutions and were very sensible when they talked openly about using the internet.
