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.

Year 3 as evacuees

Year 3 dressed as evacuees and experienced life as it would have been during WW2.

They learnt ever so much about the Air Raid Shelter and it's history. Children looked at artefacts and had wardens teach them all about the history and what life would have been like. 

Do you know how deep the Air Raid Shelters are?What jobs did the women do while the men went to war?
