Wellbeing Wednesday

Today we did a special Halloween themed 'Draw with Rob' for our Wellbeing Wednesday activity. These are chilling! 


Black history visitor

Year 3 and 4 loved their visit today from our school governor Agnes. She taught us all about how babies are named after the day of the week they are born on in Ghana. We got to role play the naming ceremony and everyone found out what their name would be based on the day they were born. 


Tag rugby heats

Last week, some Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a tag rugby competition against other schools in Tameside.

Our A team qualified for the finals winning 2 games, drawing 1 and losing 1, scoring 8 tries overall.

Our B team came 5th in their group scoring 7 tries. 

Both teams used both attacking and defensive strategies that they have learnt with Charlie from the Jason Robinson Fou ration and showed great teamwork throughout. Well done Broadbent Fold!


Black History

Today we were visited by our new governor Agnes Fough. She shared with us the special 'Asante naming the child ceremony'

The children learned some of the words for naming babies after the day of the week they were born on. We also practised reading out a script which a privileged person would read out to name a new baby in the Asante culture. 

This was fascinating.


Artistic skills in Year 5!

Year 5 sketched some great chimney sweeps in their sketch books, then used the medium of charcoal to create amazing pictures for their Victorian display!  Fantastic artwork Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley
