Today in Gymnastics, we have been exploring different mirror moves with a partner. We created a sequence of work with a clear start, controlled twists, spins and turns. We discussed how we can improve our sequences by using different levels and transitioning from one movement to another. Well done everyone, some super mirroring work!

This half term, we have exploring different materials and their properties. We have been material detectives searching for different materials and objects around school, we have explored the properties of materials and investigated whether different materials are suitable to make certain objects, for example: a chocolate teapot. We have also been investigating whether different objects can change shape and discussed the most changeable and why we think this is. Well done everybody!

In Yoga this week, we have been learning about belly breathing and relaxing our bodies. We have learnt and performed a number of yoga poses including: tree, butterfly, mountain, cloud, shooting star, planet, moon and aeroplane. We then played a game called back to back. We finished off our session reading “Aliens Love Underpants” by Claire Freedman whilst the children lay or sat with their eyes closed. The children continued to sit or lie quietly and concentrate on their breath for up to a minute.
The Eco leaders would like to launch a competition to design a new sign for our blue paper bins in school. They would like the sign to explain why it is important to recycle paper - e.g. Save the world, recycle your paper. The sign should be eye catching and colourful on A4 paper. Please send your entries into school by Friday 4th November and the Eco leaders will be choosing the winners from each class.

We have started to develop our diverse section of books in the KS2 Library and in our KS1 classrooms. We are very excited about the range of books that we have added to our library. These include books, characters and authors from the Black, African and Minority Ethnic community and books which celebrate characters who are neurodiverse.
Have a look in the KS2 Library for our new books with the brown sticker bands.
October is Black History Month. At Broadbent Fold we continue to raise awareness of equality and diversity. Check out our year group blogs to see which significant black individual each class has been studying.
