The Hive North

Broadbent Fold had the enormous pleasure to have a visit from The Hive North this afternoon. They were here to perform a play about how families are all different. The children had an amazing time being trainee zoo keepers and completely interacting with the performance. Thank you so much for  a fabulous afternoon. 


Friday Awards

Congratulations to Year 3 children who received their certificates today. We had Head Teacher's Award for great effort in writing, Good to be Green Awards for following our school values as well as our first Gold Award. Well done!


The Great Big School Clean

The Great Big School Clean campaign runs from 17th March to the 2nd April 2023. I have pledged that as a school we can collect 12 bags of rubbish.  Hopefully we can collect more! 

Well done to all of the children who have already started litter picking on their way to school and around the school grounds.  You are doing a fantastic job to help the environment! 


#letgirlsplay

The snow didn't stop our girls taking part in #letgirlsplay last week. It was lovely to see so many girls in KS1 and KS2 taking part in our girls football tournaments. A big thank you to our Year 6 Game Changers in making the #letgirlsplay events successful and encouraging lots of other girls to play football.

Bridge Blunder in Year 3

Year 3 children worked cooperatively to design and build a bridge as part of British Science Week. This activity was designed to get children thinking about connections between weights, forces and measures. Children clearly explained how to make a fair test, they spoke about the strength of materials and how to make a sturdy bridge using only 5 pieces of paper. This investigating really did test the science skills in Year 3.


International Womens Day

We are very proud that Evie was featured in the international womens day poster for basketball in Tameside. What a great photo! Thank you for sharing this with us!


Design Technology in Year 3

The Iron man needed to be rescued. Year 3 learnt about pulleys and how to move a load. Children researched cranes then designed their own crane to rescue that could rescue the iron man. In groups their decided on a final design and selected the materials they needed.

Working cooperatively children made a crane and tested whether the Iron man could be rescued. Fabulous design technology skills shown In Year 3.
