Thank you to everyone who came to our first phonics workshop. It was fabulous!

Our Art Gallery in Key Stage 2 looks amazing with artwork from this half term!  Year 3 learnt about George Bridgetower - a famous violinist from Poland - and their sketches are brilliant!  Year 4, inspired by their Roman topic, created people in motion and produced some great Roman Soldiers!  Year 5 have been learning about the lives of poor Victorian children who had to work for a living.  They used the medium of charcoal to create their images of grubby chimney sweeps.  Year 6 have produced some fantastic work, inspired by street artists Keith Haring and Banksy.  We are very proud of our

We loved taking part in the tag rugby competition today with our A team coming 2nd and our B team coming 4th in our group. The A team won a match against Broadbent Fold B team, drew against Pinfold and lost to Aldwyn Primary School. Our B team also played against Aldwyn and Pinfold primary schools and were fantastic at tagging the other teams.  

Lots of tries were scored, lots of sliding in the mud and lots of fun by all. Well done everyone, you did Broadbent Fold proud! 

Year 1 loved being outside in the rain and mud! We did a team challenge to make the longest line from forest school resources than relaxed under the shelter. 

Look at Year 4's amazing mosaic tiles 

For World Mental Health Day we have explored growth mindset in Year 6. After talking about how we can train our brain to try and think more positively I set the class a tangram challenge. They had to use the shapes to create a selection of pictures. They did not give up! 

We have been looking at different techniques for tag rugby and yesterday we started our first mini matches. 

As part of their Victorian Topic, "What was life like for Victorian children" Year 5 enjoyed travelling back in time to George Street Chapel in Oldham today!  They met families from the past who explained that life was tough for most Victorians.  Children had to work both inside and outside their homes without, of course, some of the inventions that were discovered during the Victorian era.  They enjoyed "washing day" and their time at school, followed by some creative activities in the afternoon such as making peg dolls, stained glass windows and handwriting with pen and ink!  Everyone con

Year 4 have worked ever so hard to create their own mosaic tile. They manipulated, measured and scored the clay to create a 10x10 square tile. They then either engraved or embossed their pattern into the clay. I can't wait for them to be painted tomorrow. 

Today to celebrate World Mental Health Day Year 6 joined in with a national campaign to promote the well-being benefits of reading by simply taking 10 minutes out of our day to read, relax and escape from the pressures and stresses of daily life.

It was a joy!
