It’s Friday Awards Time Again…

This week Head Teacher's certificates were awarded for brilliant behaviour and for extra effort especially in PE. We also had two pencils given for following our school rules and staying on Green. Great improvement in handwriting was awarded too and two children achieved Silver and Gold Awards. Well done everyone!


Outdoor Classroom Day

Today, we took our science lesson outside. After learning about how plants spread their seeds, we played seed dispersal game. We pretended to be squirrels preparing for winter. Each child got two raisins and two peanuts that represented acorns. The children were then asked to hide them as squirrels would do as a cache for winter when food is hard to come by. At the end, the children were challenged to retrieve their acorn cache for winter. Some of the squirrels didn't find any seeds as other squirrels took them. Some squirrels only managed to find one or two of the seeds they hid.


Anne Frank

Year 3 children used purple mash to learn more about Anne Frank, some children even managed to write diaries pretending they were Anne Frank.

Other children answered questions about Anne Frank showing excellent knowledge of WW2.


Digging up the vegetable beds!

In gardening club today we dug up the overgrown raised beds. We found a giant spring onion, some small onions and some very odd shaped carrots! While we were digging we found lots of worms, a red beetle chrysalis and a very friendly snail! We are going to relocate the vegetable plot and hopefully grow some more fruit, vegetables and herbs this year. The children all worked extremely hard. Well done everyone! 


Friday Awards Go To…

This week, Head Teacher's certificates were awarded for great work in Maths and effort in writing. We also had two Good to be Green lottery winners. Two children achieved Silver and Gold Awards. Well done! 


Plant investigation

Year 3 are investigating how water is transported within plants. We put celery sticks in water with food colouring to see how water travels up the stem. After an hour we noticed the celery stem changing colour and after a day even the leaves at the top turned red and blue. 


Can you guess the planet?

During our SATs morning breakfast we found a shape that looked like a planet. Can you guess it? Yes - it is Saturn in our rice crispies! Made all year 6 laugh. 


Good Luck Year 6!

All of us here at Broadbent Fold would like to take the opportunity to wish all of year 6 the best of luck for their tests next week.

We are very proud of how hard you have all worked this year- you are all stars!


Coronation Celebration

What a brilliant day we've had celebrating King's coronation! We decorated our classroom, made crowns and coloured place mats ready for our special lunch. We even had special visitors... Can you guess who they were? We would like to say BIG THANK YOU to our fabulous kitchen staff for making our yummy lunch and delicious cupcakes.
