Safe Squad Workshop

Today we were joined by the Safe Squad team. We learnt about fire safety, CPR training, online safety and hate crimes and peer pressure.

The children joined in maturely and learned lots of safety advice. 


It's a mystery?

To introduce our new English work this week we looked at a collection of clues and worked in groups to discuss theories to explain what could have happened.

We had lots of theories including shark attacks, mad scientists and archaelogical digs! We are now looking forward to delving into our new adventure stories next week. 


Advent Challenge- a time to think of others!

The Season of Advent is a time for thinking of others and challenging yourself to be the best possible!

That’s something that people of all faiths can get involved with so here is an  Advent Challenge with a difference.

On the attached for every day there is a different challenge to complete.


Well done Year 6!

This week our Star of the week went to Jessica. She is a delight to have in the class. She is always hardworking, enthusiastic and an excellent role model to others.

The whole class also won an award for their enthusiasm and knowledge during our science workshop this week- well done!

Well done to our Sports Ambassadors- Cameron, Harley, Brooke, Niamh, Tilly and Molly- some of them attended some training yesterday and they are now ready to go!

Well done to all of our Bronze Award winners too who have received at least 50 star points so far!


Quicksticks Final

The Year 6 Quicksticks team took part in the Tameside final on Wednesday night. They came 4th in their group and showed great resillience and teamwork. A special well done to Roban who got a school games badge for showing great passion during the competition and for being respectful. 


Evolution workshop

Year 6 had an amazing time during our evolution and inheritance workshop this week. I am so proud of how much knowledge you all remembered from our science topic, yet we still learnt so many new facts. We started the morning looking at the theory of evolution by natural selection and recreated the famous image from 'The Origin of Species'. We then went head-to-head in a competition to see who would survive picking up ping-pong balls with a spoon- and even using chopsticks!! We then explored how the human body is amazing using a circuit of PE activities.


Broadbent Fold vs Buckton Vale

The girls football team played a cup match against Buckton Vale Primary School on Friday. They played fantastic together and won the match 2-0. Darcy was the player of the match for her brilliant goalkeeping skills. Well done girls!
