Indoor athletics competition

Broadbent Fold loved taking part in the indoor athletics competition. They came 17th in Tameside (19th in the track events and 13th in the field events). The schools best events were the girls triple jump, the speed bounce and the boys over under relay. Well done to everyone that took part, you did the school proud.


Y6 Star of the week 17-2-23

Our Stars of the week in Year 6 are Heidi and Seth.

I love Heidi's completed Viking pop-up book. She has used a range of mechanisms and spent a lot of time making sure that her finished presentation was to a high standard.

Seth has being working incredibly hard in booster sessions- I loved his twisted fairy tale this week.

Jenson won our Vocabulary Ninja Award this term.

Our Good to be Green winners are Harriet and Thomas. 


DT Viking pop up books

Year 6 have loved their DT Week creating Viking pop-up books. We started by conducting some market research- looking at pop up books and how they work and what we liked or disliked about them. We then practised creating lots of different mechanisms like levers, sliders, spinners and pop-up structures. In our designs, we had to create a pop up book with three different mechanisms in. Today Year 6 shared their completed books with the children in year 3 to get to constructive feedback. 


Sharing Work

Year 3 had a special treat this morning. Year 6 children shared their brilliant Viking pop up-books. We were very impressed! Thank you for sharing your amazing work. 


International day of women and girls in science

Today Year 6 presented an assembly about different women and girls who have made a great impact in the world of science. We discussed how primatologist Dr Jane Goodall has worked tirelessy to rehome chimpanzees who have lost their habitats for various reasons. We explored how Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie discovered new elements called radium and radioactivity.


E-Safety / Competition Winners

Our pupil leaders have chosen 6 brilliant winners of our E-Safety Competition. They looked at how social media affects mental health and what we can do to improve this. We had many entries from across school and it was very difficult to decide. Well done everyone. 


Let’s spread the love

Broadbent Fold's Valentine disco was a massive success. The turn out was phenomenal and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you to everyone who turned up. Happy Valentine's Day!

What makes your heart rate rise?

We have planned fair and comparative tests in year 6 today. The children have planned a scientific enquiry on which exercises raise our heart rates the most. The children chose their equipment and discussed the variables and constants in the investigation. We had a lot of fun doing our experiments outside. Next week we will display our results in an appropriate way and draw conclusions to answer our investigations.
