Year 4 have been quizzing each other over their times tables knowledge. They are doing alright, but a lot of them would agree that they need to be a lot quicker with their responses. 

Broadbent Fold watched a live online assembly today 7th February 2023- An Internet Legends Assembly. Children were encouraged to used their critical thinking skills when online.Remember 'Be kind online' and make time to have conversations about being online.

What type of password is a strong password to use? What should you do if you see something unkind online? 

This week children are taking part in lessons about online safety.

The theme for 2023 is, 'Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online'. 

A big well done to the 2 boys who represented Tameside in the cross country championships on Saturday. You did Broadbent Fold proud! 

Today our pupil leaders met our Chair and Vice Chair of Governors. They discussed current themes in school, shared the policies they have been working on and asked our governors some questions. We are planning a question and answer session in the next few months. 

Internet Safety 2023 is "Want to talk about it" Today in class we talked about how we use the internet. We looked at what to do when we are confronted with issues. The children were quite aghast at the age restrictions on some social media sites and games that they regularly use. However, they did come up with some fantastic solutions and were very sensible when they talked openly about using the internet. 

Year 4 was met with a plethora of disguised cakes this morning. Have a look at the exceptional creations from Year 4. This is definitely going to improve our mental health this week when we're sampling them. Fantastic work Year 4. 

Well I've never been prouder of Year 4. As part of our homework projects I challenged the children to create a cake that was mysteriously disguised as something else.  Here are a few of their designs that were posted on Seesaw this weekend. I'm so impressed with them all and the ingenious ideas. Who would have thought about making a cake to look like pizza, bread, a candle, a Rubix cube, a dog food bowl, a football stadium or a diary. I hope mums and dads have thoroughly enjoyed helping too. I look forward to seeing more in the morning. 

Lots of pupils at Broadbent Fold have taken part in the PaninI design a football kit competition. Our sports council selected these fabulous entries as our school winners. All entries have been submitted to Panini, fingers crossed we win! Well done to everyone that took part. 

Year 5 have started their D&T Project by learning to sew!  They began by learning to thread a needle and tying knots in the thread, then quickly moved on to using a basic running stitch to join two pieces of material!   Fantastic concentration and a  great start by everyone!  Mrs Blomeley
