Again the year 6 class have impressed us with their talks about how they are unique. Today we had gymnastics, aerial hooping and swimming amongst other talents.

Thank you for sharing. 

It was the boys football team's turn to play tonight where they had a game against St John's CE Primary School with a last minute goal by St John's in the final minute resulting in a final score of 2-3. There was some fantastic goalkeeping with a penalty saved and lots of great shots on target at the goal. Our defensive players really improved upon our last match holding their space better and working as a team. Well done boys, you did our school proud!

To finish our Roman topic off, Year 4 have been answering the question- how did the Romans change Britain? They have been fascinated by all the things we use today that the Romans introduced. Their research has led them to find out about the Romans introducing language, money, religion, stone buildings, straight roads, central heating and much more. They are definitely gearing themselves up for our Roman quiz tomorrow. Well done Year 4. 

Week beginning the 4th October is national space week. The school immersed themselves in learning about space. They have been fascinated about our solar system, the planets, the moons, space travel, astronauts and other galaxies. Year 2 even went to Jodrell Bank as a trip. Look at how fantastic the schools' display looks. 

The whole school have been studying important black historical figures. The children have worked hard to learn and perform poems, find out about segregation and the American civil rights movement, to learn about inspirational figures and their fight for equality, freedom and reduce racism. We all hope in the future for an equal society, where regardless of the colour of our skin, we are treated fairly and with respect. 

We discussed clubs at lunchtimes and after-school. They told me that we had plenty of sports but wanted - bakery, chess, computing, drawing, singing and games clubs. Our leaders will take charge of these in autumn 2. 

The first football match of the week saw Broadbent Fold girls team play St Mary's Catholic Primary School with a final score of 2-4. There were some brilliant defensive skills and teamwork throughout the match. A big thank you to Mia for stepping up to play for the team last minute when a couple of our usual players couldn't make it. 

It was the third and final week of the cross country this Saturday and it certainly was feeling more like cross country weather but that didn't stop the pupils from Broadbent Fold. We had some amazing results with children knocking a minute off their time from previous weeks, pupils finishing in higher ranked positions and we even had George win the Under 9 boys race! It was lovely to see the Broadbent Fold community come together with pupils and parents all cheering on and supporting children in the different races.

As part of our topic, How are we unique?' year 6 have had the chance to share their talents and hobbies with the class. Today we have had it all from swimming and painting to singing and making animal noises. 

What a talented bunch! I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the class over the week.
