We are very proud of our wonderful cress gardens that we have been growing in class. Over the past few weeks, we have carefully planted our seeds, watered them regularly, and observed the changes as they began to grow. The children showed great responsibility and patience while caring for their cress gardens each day. We enjoyed watching the tiny shoots appear and measuring how much they grew over time.

This week is Careers Week at Broadbent Fold. We have engineers, a Team GB athlete, a sports journalist, scientists and designers attending our school to inspire our pupils to a world of employment. We held a careers fair and pupils had the opportunity to ask questions to our visitors. A big thank you to the magistrates, mental health practitioner, GMP, Findel Education, Ashton Sixth Form and the Director of Sports from the Stamford Park Trust. It was a fantastic morning and our pupils fully engaged with all the information to help them with their own future.  

Year 4 wrote Mrs Parker lots of letters to presuade her (or not) to climb a mountain and raise monies for school. She replied to every letter and commented on how excellent they are were. She would love to climb a mountain, aslong as year 4 joined her! 

What a fantastic set of workshops for Year 6. They had the opportunity to meet so many people and talk about their jobs, identifying skills they need to succeed in the further. What a wonderful activity. 

We had a range of professions that the children could learn about: Finder Education, GMP, Education Mental Health Practitioner, Dentisty, Stamford Park Trust, Sixth Form College and The Magistrates Court. 

Year 3 enjoyed visiting the careers' fair. Thanks to Dental team, school nurses, magistrates courts and Ashton 6th Form.

Our Year 5 and 6 cricket team smashed their heats today where they won both of their games and will progress to the Tameside finals! They won one of their games by 130 runs! Fantastic work boys, well done!! 

Our superb year 3 pupil Harry has been shortlisted from all schools in the UK for his engineering design. We also received a special award as a school for our entries, led by Mrs Higham our science leader. Just brilliant achievements. Well done Harry, an engineer in the making. 

What an amazing turn out for our sponsored walk this morning. It was a fantastic event that raised £2,833.50 for our sensory room. Thank you everyone for joining us. 

Our school curriculum ensures it gets our children ready for a future in employment. This week we look closely at the jobs in Greater Manchester and beyond. We have lots planned and many visitors.
