The Pupil Leadership team met yesterday to discuss After School and Lunchtime Clubs!  Broadbent Fold are proud of their wide variety of sporting clubs, as well as the hugely popular After School Musical Theatre club.  We discussed that there had been a dip in the amount of Upper Key Stage 2 children signing up to clubs lately.  Other commitments outside of school (eg swimming, attending own football clubs etc) seemed to be some possible reasons for this.  We are all so active!

Year 6 have worked ever so hard to create a double page spread about the invasion of The Vikings in 793 AD at Lindisfarne. Their work is coming on really well. 

Year 6 have been applying their place value knowledge to decimalisation. Here the children are working out multi-step word problems with manipulatives to support their understanding. 

Year 5 have started two new disciplines in PE this week: Gymnastics and Basketball!  As always, they have impressed us with their skills, behaviour and ability.  We are looking forward to seeing their progress as the weeks go by.  Mrs Blomeleyt

Year 5 received many awards this week!  Headteacher's awards for fantastic progress in Maths and Handwriting.  Good to be Green awards for beng Ready, Respectful and Safe, and amazing Mathletic certificates for achieving Platinum awards.  Bronze certificates and badges were given to those children who have achieved 100 Star Points so far in Year 5!  Brilliant work everyone!   Mrs Blomeley

This week, we have fully immersed ourselves into our class text 'How to Grow a Dinosaur.' The children have loved doing lots of predicting before revealing what happens next in the story. Well done Year 1! 

Well done to this week's award winners! Super first week back after the Christmas break! Keep up the hard work! 

Well done to all the children who won awards and pencils today in assembly. We had so many Bronze Award winners.

We also won the PE trophy this week for being voted the best class by our sports coach Mr Williams.

Year 3 enjoyed their first lesson on OAA in PE yesterday.
