As part of their Design Technology work Year 2 designed pirate ships.

Children are designing them and will test them in water! 

Excellent team work skills shown by Year 2.

Year 6 are working hard to create a dance through the ages. They have used dance aspects from the Charleston, moved on to the Lindihop and are practising their hand jives. They are very enthusiastic about it and loved sharing ideas with a partner. 

Year 3 are enjoying learning techniques and rules of basketball with our sport's coach Mr Williams.

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

Welcome back to Spring Term in Year 5 where our topic will test the children's geographical knowledge of the world and make them aware of the impact of climate change.  In our topic "Why should the world's rainforests matter to all of us?", we will learn about Greta Thunberg and her efforts to save our planet, as well as researching endangered animals via the WWF.   Persuasive Writing is on the agenda in our English lessons, as well as reading the award winning novel "The Explorer" by Katherine Rundell, about four children who find themsel

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!
