This half term Year 1 have researched different types of fruit and designed their own fruit kebab using a repeated pattern. They then used their cutting skills to create their own fruit kebabs. Which one do you think looks the tastiest?

Broadbent Fold girls football team had a tough semi final against St John Fisher with the final score been 0-2. Even though the girls didn't make it to the final they should be really proud of how much progress they have made as a team and how well they have played together and supported one another. Well done everyone!

Year 6 have had a fabulous day hosting the Science Fair this year. We have worked with KS1 and KS2 to investigate, research and consolidate our scientific learning across the school. We have explored magnets, electricity, scents, fingerprints, chemical reactions, famous inventors, space and beyond, rocks and fossils, light and shadow and human organs.

Thank you Year 6 you were fantastic leaders today and I am very proud of you all. 

To celebrate Science week at Broadbent Fold, the Year 6 children put together a Science Fair with lot's of cool, fun, science experiments for the children to take part in. Don't forget to ask your child which one was their favourite experiment and why. Thank you to Year 6 for an amazing morning. 

Thank everyone for your hard work making our first PTFA Comedy Night a success. Thank you especially Mr Andrews and Dukinfield Golf Club for their hard work and support. It was a great evening and the comedians were just brilliant. We will plan many more fun nights with different themes over the next year. We raised over £500 on the raffle alone and this will go to building up our KS2 collection of reading books. We will share our overall total once this has been calculated.Thank you again - hope to see you for our next event on Thursday after-school.

The children in Year 4 have really improved their culinary skills over the last 2 weeks whilst they followed a Tudor pottage recipe. The children to plan, peel, chop, dice and mix different vegetables to make their pottage, adding herbs and relishes to taste.They eventually made 5 different types of pottage: a leek and onion pottage, a carrot and leek pottage, a swede pottage, a swede and leek pottage and a spinach pottage. They all had the chance to taste test each soup and rate them. Their overall favourite was the leek and swede pottage made on Tuesday. Fantastic work Year 4. 

What a treat Year 4 today had when they went to the science fair which was run by Year 6. There was so much learning as the older children explained how shadows are formed and about day and night.  The children managed to experiment and make finger prints, electrical circuits, build the digestive system, use microscopes, torches, make potions and lots more. They all had an amazing time, what a great event. 

The Pupil Leaders had another dfficult decision to make on Thursday!  They had to select the winners of the Science Poster competition with the theme of "Connections".  There were some amazing posters but the team finally decided on the ones that |Miss Harvery will enter into the official British Science Week competition, where exciting prizes are to be won!    Good Luck to all of you! 

This half term's creative homework project was to make an Anglo Saxon shield, helmet or house. The children didn't disappoint!  Thet created an array of different shields and a few houses to share with the class and to put on display! Some children even made an Anglo Saxon village whilst they were at our afterschool club, Rainbow!   Brilliant work everyone!  Mrs Blomeley
