Year 5 enjoyed their Crumble Coding Workshop yesterday  Dom, the Coding Organiser, was impressed with their computing talents; they quickly grasped the instructions to use the laptops and equipment to create different coloured lights, at different speeds!  They then went on to invent their own item of wearable tech, such as a hat, belt, wristband or sash, and added the lights they had designed.   Finally, they strutted down the catwalk in their pairs to display their creations to the class!  Amazing work Year 5.  Mrs Blomeley

Tranquility spread through Year 4 today on Well-being Wednesday's yoga lessons. Look at how much they have improved from last time, how flexible the children are getting and how proficient they are at their yoga poses now. 

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is this weekend  27th-29th January.  By taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch you, and hundreds of thousands of other like-minded nature lovers, will be taking action to protect our birds for generations to come. The Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don’t need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, or your local park will play a vital role in helping us understand how UK birds are doing.

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge....it's time for the annual Tameside dodgeball competitions.

Pupils from Year 5 and 6 loved taking part in a dodgeball competition against other schools in Tameside and everyone did Broadbent Fold very proud. 

Broadbent Fold Blasters (Y6) won games against Bradley Green Blasters and Aldwyn All Stars and also had some very close games against Greenside All Stars and Holden Clough coming 3rd in their group.

Wow! Today, Dom from Skillsupply came into Year 4 to teach the children how to code electrical diodes. The class had an amazing time programming, writing algorithms, reading digital literacy, using Crumble equipment and electrical items, making lights change colour and flash and they even wrote a loop code and programmed a switch. A super morning was had by all. 

Today in Science, the children got into small groups and were given pictures of different types of food. The children were asked to sort them into different ways. Most of the groups put the foods into ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ groups but one group put theirs into ‘healthy’, take away’, ‘sweets and chocolate’ and ‘proteins.’ Another group put theirs into ‘healthy’, ‘unhealthy’ and ‘unsure.’ We discussed the unsure groups and decided if they were healthy or unhealthy.

We have been reading 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson. We have written rhyming spells for the witch and some marvellous sentences about who we would take on the broom with us.

We celebrated Chinese New Year by making dragon puppets, listening to Chinese music, creating our own dragon dance and by having a tasty Chinese banquet. It was fantastic!

This year is the Year of the Rabbit. 

We spotted lots of signs of Winter on our walk. Bare trees, frost, snow, chilly weather etc. We took our thermometer with us and read it was 3 degrees. ❄️❄️❄️

We had a fantastic time learning all about the Muslim faith with Imran. We made our own Prayer Mats afterwards using a weaving technique.
