Aldi Kit for School

Thank you to all the parents during Autumn term who brought in stickers from Aldi. We managed to fill 2 posters and so have recieved 2 bags of free sporting equipment. In each bag there are some bibs, cones, beanbags, relay batons, stickers, egg and spoons and some balls. Broadbent Fold will have a fantastic time using this equipment in the run up to sports day!

Rayner Stephens science

Year 6 have all passed their O.W.L's (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) during our Harry Potter themed experiments today at Rayner Stephens High School.  We have looked at chemical reactions caused by mixing bicarbonate of soda and vinegar and we have looked at the density of liquids. The children have had a really enjoyable day and used lots of scientific knowledge in their predictions and conclusions. I am really impressed with their efforts. 


Challenge Me Throwing and Catching Event

Broadbent Fold took part in the Challenge Me Throwing and Catching event on Monday. Pupils in EYFS ahd to throw and catch a large ball for 2 minutes, pupils in KS1 had to throw and catch a tennis ball for 4 minutes and pupils in KS2 had to try to throw and catch a ball with one hand for 6 mintues. Pupils enjoyed the event and all got stickers for taking part. 


Year 6 British Science Week

Well done to all of Year 6 for completing and sharing your 'Science Fair' projects with the rest of the class. The children have had the opportunity to share how they have worked scientifically to plan and investigate a scientific question during their home learning. The children produced a variety of scientific enquiries from investigating magnets and exploring density to looking at chemical reactions made to create volcanoes. We have also entered a competition to design a product for an engineer.


Yr 6 sculptures

We have finally completed our sculptures of Skellig from our class text. We started our sculptures with artist Sarah Hicks and we have now added the finishing touches. These have been diplayed around the school. I am really pleased with the end results- well done year 6!


Football match against St Stephens RC

The boys had a fantastic match tonight against St Stephens RC. Both teams played well with St Stephens RC scoring the first goal of the match however Broadbent Fold pulled it back to win the game 2-1 and qualify for the quarter finals. 


Dodgeball Competition

Broadbent Fold took part in a dodgeball competition against other schools in Tameside. They came 2nd in their heat beating Corrie and Mottram but losing to Russell Scott. A special well done to Aarron who got a school games badge for showing good teamwork throughout the competition.
