Today in Science lesson, Year 3 children investigated contact and non-contact forces. We had different activities and were exploring which of them involed contact. We found out that non-contact forces are magnetism and gravity. 

Year 4 started their healthy eating lesson today by identifying and classifying foods into the correct food groups. They then got the chance to look at the school menu and to unpick which meals included elements from all 5 food groups. There was lots of discussion about how healthy some meals actually were. 

All of the children in Key Stage 2 have worked so hard to transform our Art Gallery into a celebration of the forthcoming Coronation of King Charles III.  They have used different medium to create their images; Year 3 used digital media to produce their versions of crowning King Charles, Year 4 used their portrait skills, Year 5 created new Royal crests by researching the King's hobbies and Year 6 chose stained glass windows as a backdrop for their amazing portraits. Well done everyone!  

Year 5 loved the visit from Ash Randall yesterday!  No wonder he is in the Guinness Book of Records - his skills are just amazing!  What a great role model he is to the children, making sure they know they can achieve anything they want to with hard work and perseverance!  He was happy to sign any books we had too.  Thank you to Ash and to Miss Mainprize for organising his visit!  Mrs Blomeley

Everyone at Broadbent Fold loved their visit from freestyle footballer Ash Randall today. He holds 25 records in the Guinness book of Records and spoke to everyone about the importance of not giving up as he has been practising for 17 years. Ash Randall taught some of our pupils and even Miss Lewis and Miss Mainprize some new tricks. Thank you for your visit Ash! 

Year 6 loved their visit from Ash this morning.

We were blown away with his incredible skills!

Well done to our Stars this week Kasia and Sam. 

Kasia has fantastic leadership qualities as a Sports Ambassador. She is a great advocate for women and girls playing football and her passion for this comes across so well. She is also a great helper when working in KS1 at lunchtimes playing games and supporting younger children. I was also impressed with her leadership skills last week helping to lead a PE lesson in year 6.

Broadbent Fold had the enormous pleasure to have a visit from The Hive North this afternoon. They were here to perform a play about how families are all different. The children had an amazing time being trainee zoo keepers and completely interacting with the performance. Thank you so much for  a fabulous afternoon. 

Congratulations to Year 3 children who received their certificates today. We had Head Teacher's Award for great effort in writing, Good to be Green Awards for following our school values as well as our first Gold Award. Well done!
