Reading Ambassador Challenge Winners

The Reading Ambassadors met with me this week to choose winners for the book reveiw challenge that was set in December.

Thank you to all of the children who took part in the challenge- it was a very hard decision to choose a winner for each class. Please have a look at the winning book reviews which will be sent to Tameside Libraries to share on their social media.

Our winners were: Noah Hatton, Bella Rose, Kai Munro Taylor, Sam Sheppard and Abigail Taylor. 


Safer Internet and Mental Health Week

Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online’. We are also linking this with Mental Health Week - as they go hand in hand. I am asking our pupils to design a poster about life online, which links the themes. All entries are to be sent to Mrs Parker by 10th February. Pupil Leaders will help me to decide the winners. 


Year 5's Wearable Tech Creations!

Year 5 enjoyed their Crumble Coding Workshop yesterday  Dom, the Coding Organiser, was impressed with their computing talents; they quickly grasped the instructions to use the laptops and equipment to create different coloured lights, at different speeds!  They then went on to invent their own item of wearable tech, such as a hat, belt, wristband or sash, and added the lights they had designed.   Finally, they strutted down the catwalk in their pairs to display their creations to the class!  Amazing work Year 5.  Mrs Blomeley


RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2023

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is this weekend  27th-29th January.  By taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch you, and hundreds of thousands of other like-minded nature lovers, will be taking action to protect our birds for generations to come. The Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don’t need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, or your local park will play a vital role in helping us understand how UK birds are doing.


Dodgeball competition

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge....it's time for the annual Tameside dodgeball competitions.

Pupils from Year 5 and 6 loved taking part in a dodgeball competition against other schools in Tameside and everyone did Broadbent Fold very proud. 

Broadbent Fold Blasters (Y6) won games against Bradley Green Blasters and Aldwyn All Stars and also had some very close games against Greenside All Stars and Holden Clough coming 3rd in their group.

RSPB Big Schools Bird Watch

The Eco Leaders carried out the RSPB Big Schools Bird Watch this morning.  They were all excellent at spotting the birds that are living in and near the school grounds.  We saw Magpies, Carrion crows, Sparrows and Robins.  We even spotted some beautiful Goldfinches eating the seeds from the Alder trees.  Well done everyone you did a fabulous job!

 

 


Space in the Classroom!

Year 5 enjoyed putting their new inflatable planets of the Solar System to good use yesterday!   As part of their Earth and Space topic, the class were able to identify and order the planets from their position to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.  The Solar System has now taken its residency in the reading corner, together with a motarised version that rotates to bring the planets to life!
