Outdoor maths learning

Year 6 have enjoyed their maths lessons in the outside environment today.

We started with a treasure chest with varying questions revising measures.

Then we found and identified different types of angles. Can you spot any acute or obtuse angles in our photographs?

Finally we drew and measured angles using protractors in the playground.


Diversity Week 2022

Year 6 enjoyed discussing how we are all similar and different during Diversity Week. We read an extract from 'The secret sunshine project' in our guided reading sessions and discussed the issues that the characters were facing linked to their idenity. We found out about PRIDE and how it is celebrated across the world.

I love their PRIDE posters which we have displayed in the school hall. 


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. 


Anderton Centre fun

Year 6 have had a fabulous day at the Anderton Centre today.

We have been on the low ropes, traverse climbing and crate stacking this morning.

This afternoon the children went off down the lake on their canoes. They then daringly jumped in the water from the jetty.

We had a few tired snoozers on the coach journey home.

Well done year 6 you were amazing today! 


Dukinfield football tournament

Broadbent Fold loved taking part in the very first Dukinfield 5 a side 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.


Y6 Star of the week 24-6-22

Today Year 6 were presented with a special, keep-sake dictionary from the Rotary Club.

Our stars of the week are Ellie and Brooke.

Ellie always produces homework to a great standard. She has created a chocloate cake in her creative homework task and this week she produced a fabulous persuasive advert for her cake. 

Brooke is a fabulous mathematician. She has really understood how to analyse and draw pie charts accurately this week.

Annabelle and Maisie won our 'good to be green' pencils for staying on green.


Magistrates in the commnunity

Year 6 were joined by two local magistrates this week to learn about how the court system works. 

The children took part in a quiz to test their knowledge and learn new information. We looked at how magistrate and crown courts are different. We found out that the 'Magna Carta' rule means we must be tried by our peers which is why magistrates are not legally trained. 

It was very interesting. 


Rotary Club Presentation

The Rotary Club presented our year 6 pupils with a Dictionary for Life. These lovely gifts were presented by Angela Robbins

Tameside Rotary President 221/22, Joyce Howarth and Brian Travis in our assembly today. 


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
