We had a lovely time this afternoon celebrating Broadbent Fold.

Year 3 learnt how to ask yes and no questions. They looked at branching databases and then created their own.

Year 3 have listened to stories including "I am Jazz" which Is a story about Jazz who always knew she was different from other kids. She had a girl's brain and a boy's body. Children discussed transgender and learnt how important it is to speak to others' so they understand differences. 

Year 4 were amazed to find so many insects outside on the school field. We found so many woodlice, ladybirds, slugs, spiders, beetles and black caterpillars. Fantastic hunting Year 4. 

2 Boards and a Passion Theatre Company worked with year 6 today about their transition to secondary school. After a few warm up games, the children listed their fears and hopes for moving on. They then worked in groups to role play a short sketch about a worst case scenario of their first day. We had bullying, hard work, strict teachers, being late, forgetting homework and many more fears. After performing their sketches, year 6 played a game called 'yes but...' where they thought of solutions to all of their worst fears.

Gardening club worked doing weeding and pruning to make the school planters look amaxing.

Well done to winners of the Historical Timeline Competition who planted the time capsule and the Cherry Tree as part of Broadbent Fold's 50th birthday celebrations. 

Look at our 50 years drone shots! 

What a wonderful assembly we had today with past pupils and staff. Thank you everyone for making it memorable. Look out for us in Tameside Reporter. 

What a wonderful momentous occasion as Broadbent Fold celebrated turning 50. So many past teachers and pupils turned up to celebrate. We shared an assembly, planted a tree and a time capsule and enjoyed a slice of cake and a cup of tea reminiscing. What a fantastic morning we all had.
