Safer Internet and Mental Health Week

Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online’. We are also linking this with Mental Health Week - as they go hand in hand. I am asking our pupils to design a poster about life online, which links the themes. All entries are to be sent to Mrs Parker by 10th February. Pupil Leaders will help me to decide the winners. 


RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch 2023

The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is this weekend  27th-29th January.  By taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch you, and hundreds of thousands of other like-minded nature lovers, will be taking action to protect our birds for generations to come. The Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don’t need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, or your local park will play a vital role in helping us understand how UK birds are doing.


Making bows, arrows and bird feeders.

Year 3 enjoyed making bows and arrows using tools safely to cut branches from the willow and practice their knot tying skills.  They also made bird feeders and used their senses to play the owl and mice game.  The children enjoyed investigating the ice and warmed themselves up with some delicious hot chocolate.


RSPB Big Schools Bird Watch

The Eco Leaders carried out the RSPB Big Schools Bird Watch this morning.  They were all excellent at spotting the birds that are living in and near the school grounds.  We saw Magpies, Carrion crows, Sparrows and Robins.  We even spotted some beautiful Goldfinches eating the seeds from the Alder trees.  Well done everyone you did a fabulous job!

 

 


Vicious Volcanoes

Our creative project in Year 3 this half term is a volcano model. The children worked really hard to creative some amazing models. We had smoking volcano, erupiting volcano and even a chocolate panettoni cake volcano. The cake looked and smelled delicious and we all wanted to eat it! The children practised their oracy skills when they shared their models and described the process of making them and materials they used. 


Friday Awards

Year 3 has started this term with lots of certificates. Head Teacher's Awards were given for brilliant attitude for learning and great work in reading and phonics. Congratulations to our Good to be Green lottery winners. Some children achieved Bronze and Silver Awards. Well done!


Engineers of the future

Year 3 have been learning about earthquakes and their devastating effects. The children designed earthquake proof buildings and used junk modelling to make them. They will test their buildings on the shake tray to see if they can survive an earthquake. 


Muslim visitor

Imran, a Muslim visitor taught Year 3 stories of Muhammad, we learnt Muhammad had so much sadness in his life as lots of his family had died. 

However, later in his life he had a calling from Allah. Muhammad went to live in the wilderness to receive messages from God. 

Did you know Imran loved Muhammad more than anyone else? A good Muslim does and Imran has even been to Mecca.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Urban Extreme Dance Fest

Last half term, Broadbent Fold loved taking part in the Urban Extreme Dance Fest and came away with a trophy for team spirit. We were really proud of everyone who took part; they encouraged and supported everyone in their own team and also cheered on other schools too. A big thank you to our dance coach Zoe for helping us with our routine and a special well done to Lottie who represented our school in a dance off.
