Last weekend, Broadbent Fold had a fantastic cross country championships where we had 4 runners selected to represent Tameside in the Greater Manchester cross country championships. Everyone cheered each other on and showed great determination in their races - one pupil even lost their shoe and carried on the race! We are so proud of all the runners that took part!

Year 3/4 girls = Courtney 3rd, Chloe 6th, Amelia 10th, Ella 13th, Reeva 22nd, Lois 23rd

Year 3/4 boys = George 2nd, Jacob 3rd, Dominic 7th, Noah 24th, Harry 25th

As part of their Rainforest Topic, and to enhance their reading of our class text,"The Explorer", Year 5 enjoyed tasting a variety of fruit on Friday!  In the book, the characters have just discovered pineapples, after eating grubs to survive!  On offer were pineapples, blueberries, lychee, kiwi fruit and mango.  Most children tried them all and rated them, with a view to persuading others to eat them (or not!)   Even Mr Foley tried lychee for the very first time! He rated it 5/10!   Mrs Blomeley

Well done to our Award winners in Year 5 this week!  Headteacher's certificates were given for fantastic persuasive letter writing in English and amazing work in mastering Fractions in Maths!

Congratulations to Eva for winning this half term's Handwriting award.

This week is National Story Telling week. The children have listened to their favourite poem ‘no breathing’ by Michael Rosen and the children were introduced to a Pirate book ‘Pirates love underpants.’ The children have had opportunities to independently and together share pirate stories. Happy story telling week everyone!

Well done to this weeks award winners (Head-Teachers, Good to be Green and Handwriting) . Year 2 also received the sports award this week for their super work in dance. Well done to the two children who have been busy at their after-school clubs achieving awards in swimming and dancing. Keep up the good work everybody!

Well done to these children for receiving awards this week! 

Look at the array of merits for week 5 in Year 4. Well done everyone. 

This fantastic annual event is a celebration of the power of sharing stories.

In PSHE we discussed how everyone in our British community have similarities and differences. We looked at images of different people and their interests then the children used these images to list the similarities and differences that they could see. They generated some fantastic ideas and everyone agreed that we should treat everyone equally and respectfully.
