This afternoon, Year 4 took part in a live lesson on 'Tech in space' where they learnt lots about how technology is used in space and how it has advanced over the years. They also learnt about possible careers in technology and linked to space. 

Year 6 used the IPads today to help inspire them to design their final Cauliflower Card in Broadbent Fold Primary School. We hope you purchase these for Christmas. 

We have been studying Lindsey Stirling in music, specifically her musical piece named Shadows. Year 6 are creating their own Shadow Theatres to create a musical story using shadow puppets. This also links in with D&T and Science! 

Reading is an important life skill so in Year 6 we are promoting the love and enjoyment of reading a good book. We are lucky to have a visitor who reads with Year 6 on Mondays and additional reading happens throughout the week with Mrs Gao and Mrs Higham. The children are presently thinking of creative ideas to spruce up our reading corner. I will  keep you posted with photographs when it's complete.  

Year 6 practised their Indian dribbling skills today, ensuring they were moving the hockey stick to move the ball in and around and  through the cones. This skills became handy when the children got into small groups and had to move the ball away from the opposition. Great work Y6. 

John from Front Row Music came in to school today for an assembly. The children were amazed at how simple it was play the guitar and were shown how to play chords, melodies and sang along to many songs. If you're interested in taking ukukele or guitar lessons with Drew on Fridays, please ask at the school office for details. 

Year 3 are working hard on learning their new spellings this year. We have some very tricky words on our spell it out boards and I have been so impressed with how many children have practised their words at home. Remember to use the spelling games which I posted on Seesaw to help make learning your spellings more fun!

To enhance their diary writing, and to improve their oracy skills, Year 5 took on the roles of workhouse children and the main character of our class text “Street Child”.  The characters and the class were amazing and used all the information they have learnt so far to ask and answer questions!  We definitely have some budding actors and actresses in Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Headteacher awards in Year 5 last week were given for brilliant Hot Seating and amazing reasoning in our Guided Reading task.  Being Ready, Respectful and Safe earned awards for our Good to be Green winners!  Great work Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

This week we have designed and made our very own Supertatos. Here are a few for you to take a look at.
