DFE Attendance Filming.

It's been an exciting day in school today as we took part in a film for the Department for Education on school attendance. It shows the value of school and shows how it’s more than schoolwork. Being in school can help children build resilience, learn social skills, boost their confidence, and teach them that they can do hard things. In short, this is about the social and emotional benefits of school, which we put at the heart of at Broadbent Fold. Thank you for all staff and parents for taking part. 


A beekeeper's visit

Today in Year 2, we had a special visitor—a beekeeper—who came to tell us all about looking after bees. We examined a frame that contained royal jelly, wax, and honey, as well as the beekeeper’s suit. We tasted four different types of honey and tried to guess which one was the beekeeper’s honey.

We had so many wonderful World Book Day competition entries. All of the winners received their book prize in assembly today. The winning characters will be displayed in our school library. 


Baking honey cakes

Year 2 learnt how to weigh ingredients and made honey cakes.

Of course they all know where honey comes from due to our bee themed learning.

Can children remember the ingredients?

Lots of skills are needed in baking and children are looking forward to baking at home to improve their skills further.


Science Fair

Year 2 had a brilliant time at the science fair. Thank you to Mrs Higham and Year 6 children for organising and running it.
