The name of the new sensory room is...The Cosy Cave. As voted and created by our pupils. We are having a special sign created for this. The old computing room in KS2 has been cleared of all IT equipment, repainted and new furniture and resources have been purchased to make a calming space. We just wanted send an enormous thank you to our community your generosity developing our new sensory room. We also want to thank Lifeline4Kids, who also donated to the room, which again is fantastic.

Children were very creative and imaginative whilst outside today. 

There art work was based on the artist and sculptures of Andy Goldsworthy.

Their wellbeing on Wellbeing Wednesday most definitely improved by being outside in our school grounds. 

Year 5 went to each careers station to look at what school subjects could lead to in the world of work. They chose the top few they were most curious about and did some research to find out more about them. 

Well done to this week's Head-Teacher and Good to be Green award winners! 

We are very proud of our wonderful cress gardens that we have been growing in class. Over the past few weeks, we have carefully planted our seeds, watered them regularly, and observed the changes as they began to grow. The children showed great responsibility and patience while caring for their cress gardens each day. We enjoyed watching the tiny shoots appear and measuring how much they grew over time.

This week is Careers Week at Broadbent Fold. We have engineers, a Team GB athlete, a sports journalist, scientists and designers attending our school to inspire our pupils to a world of employment. We held a careers fair and pupils had the opportunity to ask questions to our visitors. A big thank you to the magistrates, mental health practitioner, GMP, Findel Education, Ashton Sixth Form and the Director of Sports from the Stamford Park Trust. It was a fantastic morning and our pupils fully engaged with all the information to help them with their own future.  

Year 4 wrote Mrs Parker lots of letters to presuade her (or not) to climb a mountain and raise monies for school. She replied to every letter and commented on how excellent they are were. She would love to climb a mountain, aslong as year 4 joined her! 

What a fantastic set of workshops for Year 6. They had the opportunity to meet so many people and talk about their jobs, identifying skills they need to succeed in the further. What a wonderful activity. 

We had a range of professions that the children could learn about: Finder Education, GMP, Education Mental Health Practitioner, Dentisty, Stamford Park Trust, Sixth Form College and The Magistrates Court. 

Year 3 enjoyed visiting the careers' fair. Thanks to Dental team, school nurses, magistrates courts and Ashton 6th Form.
