Year 5 showed their excellent skills and knowledge this morning when they took part in a Cyber Security online live lesson, as part of Internet Safety Day!  They were able to identify which messages were scams and learnt that, if it’s too good to be true, it usually is!  They were surprised at how many computing job opportunities there are in Cyber Security and were interested to learn about Biometrics!  Great work Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Tonight, some of our Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in the Tameside dodgeball finals where they came 3rd in their group. They showed some fantastic dodging, catching and throwing skills but most importantly demonstrated great sportsmanship. Congratulations to everyone who played and a big thank your to Courtney for stepping in last minute to play.

Look at our wonderful Key Stage 2 enjoying our Valentine"s disco. 

We had a lovely time!

Year 2 joined an online lesson about Cyber Security learning about scams and firewalls.

Children listened really well.

We have continued to work scientifically in our science lessons. Last week we looked at the chemical reaction caused when you mix bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to make volcanoes erupt. Today we tried to make slime but actually ending up making goo. We still had lots of fun and explored the properties of the goo. 

Thursday 6th March is World Book Day and every year Broadbent Fold takes parts in lots of different reading activities and events to encourage reading for pleasure.

The skill we have been focusing on is Responsibility this half term All part of our Career Led Learning work. Well done to these amazing pupils, who I have noticed everyday being responsible. 

Our contemporary dance club have been working so hard this half term and enjoyed performing to parents and carers on Friday. A big thank you to Laura from United Sports Coaching for choreographing a fantastic routine and for running the club each week. 

Awards this week were presented to our Leaders of the new lunchtime Art Club which is proving to be a great success for Key Stage 2 children!  Our Vocab Ninja certificate was given for using and understanding a wealth of vocabulary!   Good to be Green awards were handed to those who have been following our school rules of being Ready, Respectful and Safe and a Bronze award given for achieving 100 star points!  Brilliant work everyone!  Mrs Blomeley
