New to BBF - Wellbeing Wednesdays!

Our Pupil Leaders have decided that every Wednesday is a wellbeing 'check-in' day. On Wellbeing Wednesday we take time to chat, to do yoga, meditation and share things on our mind. Staff and pupils are joining in with these special days every week. Join in at home too and talk to each other. 


Science Fair 2022

We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 class who worked really hard to organise and run the Science Fair today. They were superb role models for our younger children and have shared their scientific knowledge so well all morning. Please look through the photographs. 


Science Boffins for British Science Week

On Tuesday the Science Boffin Vicki visited Broadbent Fold as part of British Science Week.

During the assembly we watched paper disappear when she lit it on fire - this is special paper called 'flash paper' 

Miss Harvey was kindly volunteered to have water tipped on her head... luckily the water had disappeared from the cup. This was because slush powder was in the bottom of the cup- this is a special powder which absorbs water. This is what is used in disposable nappies. 


Growth investigations

This week in science week, we are focusing on plants and 'growth'. Today we have started an investigation to see what a plant needs to stay healthy. The children planted their seeds in mixed groups. Firstly, they planted one ‘everything’ pot that has everything the children think that plants need. They then planted 4 more pots, with one pot for each condition they are testing (no light, no water, the wrong temperature, no soil). Each child is also investigating the life cycle of a plant.


Multi-skills

Today we did multi-skills in PE, focusing on developing our catching and throwing skills using a variety of different sized balls. 


Incredible illusions!

Today, we have taken part in an incredible illusions workshop with Science Boffins. Oh what fun we had, finding animals hidden in the pictures. 


Litter Picking

Our year 5 pupils are helping keep our grounds safe and clear. Each week a group of helpful pupils help me make our school tidy. Thank you year 5!
