I hope you've had a restful February break, and the children are eager to return to school. They have been working ever so hard last half term, and I hope they're buzzing to get started on our What did the Windrush scandal teach us topic. In Geography, they will be researching the HMS Windrush; we will be linking this knowledge closely to our writing skills.  In science, the children will be organising and running the Science Fair, which takes place in British Science Week on 9th March 2026. This term, we have our outdoor activities day is organised for Monday, 16th March.

This half term (Spring 2), our exciting new topic is “How Does Your Garden Grow?”

Broadbent Fold is pleased to be taking part in The National Year of Reading which is a major UK-wide campaign led by the Department for Education and the 

Year 3 will be exploring Ted Hughes' The Iron Man- is he a hero or a villain? We will explore the themes of prejudice, bravery and acceptance through our class text which will inspire us to create our own hero narratives. In maths we will continue to learn our 3, 4 and 8 x table facts- can you practise this at home? We are looking forward to our Crumble Coding workshop on 2nd March- please ensure this is paid for so it can go ahead. Don't forget World Book Day events in the second week back. We have a very busy 5 weeks. 

Enjoying our treat afternoon. Happy half term everyone! 

Well done to these superstars!

In our mental health work this week, Year 6 explored their emotions. They wrote poems about feeling anxious, bullied or down and then wrote advice and positive affirmations to support their mental health. I was very impressed by their work, so it was put on display in the library area. 

Well done to all of our super stars this week.
