Year 6 performed a poem by Bill Bilston in assembly today. We first looked at this poem when we did our Windrush topic and it explores refugees. The poem can be read in two directions and at first year 6 were shocked at how racist the poem seemed to be!
Please watch our poem on this link: Year 6 Performance Poetry - YouTube
They performed it fantastically today :)

We had a brilliant afternoon... We enjoyed picnic food and played some games, including tug of war, sack race, hula hoop contest, penalty shootout and welly throw competition. Even the weather stayed dry, bright and sunny.
Big thank you to all the parents for their kind donation towards party food.

Year 3 learnt how to ask yes and no questions. They looked at branching databases and then created their own.

Year 3 have listened to stories including "I am Jazz" which Is a story about Jazz who always knew she was different from other kids. She had a girl's brain and a boy's body. Children discussed transgender and learnt how important it is to speak to others' so they understand differences.

What a wonderful momentous occasion as Broadbent Fold celebrated turning 50. So many past teachers and pupils turned up to celebrate. We shared an assembly, planted a tree and a time capsule and enjoyed a slice of cake and a cup of tea reminiscing. What a fantastic morning we all had.
What a way to end sports week with a visit from GB sprinter Andy Robertson to give out our sporting awards!
