As part of our oracy work Year 3 played Opinion Continuum this week. In our class text Carrie's War evacuated child Nick is almost beaten by his host family for stealing a biscuit. We discussed the question 'Is it ever okay to steal?' We had some scenarios and we had to decide if we agreed, disagreed or were somewhere in the middle of both. We had an interesting discussion- well done year 3.

Broadbent Fold were lucky to have a visit today from Mad Science today to deliver us an interactive assembly on 'What you should know about H2O' where we learnt all about solids, liquids and gases and how water is the only thing that can change between all three. We also learnt how water gets from the sea to our tap through the water cycle. We had some fantastic volunteers who showed us how water is checked to make sure it is clean enough to drink and the role that engineers and scientists play in this.

Year 3 role played what it would be like to be evacuated as a child during WW2 today. They showed great understanding and empathy skills.
This term our new topic is 'Does your country need you?' where we explore WW2 especially looking at the children who were evacuated which we will discuss through our class text 'Carrie's War'. We have our experience day on Friday 9th May so please read the previous messages for more details. Please see the attached topic web with all of the planned learning for the next five weeks.

Most classes took part in an Art activity during the recent World Maths Day! It was a great opportunity to investigate different shapes and the children were inspired by artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian. Year 4 focussed on M.C. Escher and his infamous tessellations whilst Year 6 included some 3D art into the equation! Fantastic artwork by everyone! Mrs Blomeley.

We were lucky enough to have a visit from GB sprinter Andy Robertson who recently won the bronze medal at the European indoor athletics championships. He told us all about his life as an athlete and how he started athletics when he was 8 years old! He answered lots of our questions and even brought his medal in to show us!
Last half term, our Year 3 and 4 pupils loved taking part in disco dodgeball. It was lovely to see many of them representing our school for the first time whilst having fun! Well done everyone!
