Simon Hunt visit

Today, Simon Hunt (A Teacher and an Author) visited Broadbent Fold to celebrate and share his stories with us! He read his book 'Billy the Bottom Burping Pirate.' The children found this story very amusing and even join in with the bottom burping sound effects. 


Black History Month

Today, Agnes (one of our school Governors) came to work with key stage one and to teach the children about Adinkra printing from Ghana in Africa to celebrate Black History Month. The children used different symbols (which have different names and have different meanings) to create their own prints by hand. Thank you to Agnes from all of us in Year 1 and 2, the children really enjoyed the activity and producing their own art work.
