Year 5 Awards!

Well done to the children who have received their Head Teacher's and Good to be Green awards today.  Keep up the hard work!


Computing in Year 5 - Creating Databases!

Year 5's task today was to create their own paper based version of a record card database!  They learnt that a database is a collection of organised data that is usually stored on a computer. Each group were asked to sort the records of their databases alphabetically and then  select different criteria to answer questions.  They showed great team work throughout the task!  They are looking forward to our next lesson when we move onto databases on the computers!  Well done Year 5!


Swimming Gala

 Well done to our year 5 and 6s who represented Broadbent Fold in the Tameside Swimming Gala. Pupils swam so fast and we even had a couple of 1st places! We came 6th overall and the pupils were a great team supporting and cheering each other on. We are very proud. 


Year 5 Awards!

Well done to Year 5 - they have all been award winners lately!  Especially for making us all proud when they visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park recently!  More  Headteacher's awards, Good to be Green and Silver awards followed this week!  Mrs Blomeley


Dukinfield football tournament

Broadbent Fold A team came 2nd in their competition losing 2-0 to St Mary's Catholic Primary School but winning 2-0 against Lyndhurst Primary School. A special mention to Jack for his wonder goal.


Internet Matters

Children talk about ways to keep safe online through e-safety lessons. At home, children can increase their knowledge further by using the APP Internet Matters.

Internet Matters’ is an app designed to help parents talk about online safety issues with their children, and to ensure that they make smart choices to stay safe online.

The split-screen collaborative app helps them think about what they would do if they were faced with different situations online; from cyberbullying to sharing content with someone they don’t know


Year 5 Topic Information for Summer Term 2

Our question this Half Term is "What makes South America a continent of contrasts?  Our class text is "Trash" by Andy Mulligan; a thought provoking and exciting fictional novel.   Please see below the Medium Term Plan and the Home Learning Challenge Grid for this final Half Term in Year 5.   Mrs Blomeley


Year 5's Visit to Yorkshire Wildlife Park!

Year 5's visit to Yorkshire Wildlife Park was AMAZING!  We saw so many animals, including wallabies, lemurs and monkeys as well as a majestic polar bear!  Wow!  During the classroom session, the teacher was impressed with their rainforest knowledge.  They also got to handle a huge snail, the cockroaches and a snake!  But our favourite part had to be the cute red panda, which was really how the whole idea of visiiting a zoo started.  Brilliant behaviour made the teachers extremely proud ! Well done Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley


Jubilee Celebrations!

On the last day of term the whole school got together to sing the songs throughout the decades that they had been  practising each week!   Great fun was had by all as the children sung Doris Day's "Que Sera, Sera", Madonna's "Holiday" and many others, including their favourite "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees!  They had a great celebration, dressed in their red, white and blue to commemorate HRH our Majesty the Queen's platinum Jubilee!  


Year 5's Sponsored Walk to Gorse Hall!

What a great time we had on our last day of term! Year 5 enjoyed the opportunity to be outdoors and were very lucky to be accompanied by many parents too!  Mr Pickles, from the Friends of Gorse Hall society, was also on hand to tell us some interesting information about the various sites.  As always, Year 5 made us extremely proud in the way they represented Broadbent Fold and made a fantastic contribution to the Sponsored Walk collection.  Thank you everyone for your generous contributions!  Mrs Blomeley
