Following the fascinating find of a sheep's skull during the Easter holidays, some children from Year 5 shared this amazing example with Year 3 to support their learning on teeth The Year 5 Learning Leaders asked questions to their younger school friends who were able to inspect (first hand) a real example of molars that belonged to this plant eating herbivore. Great job! Mrs Blomeley

Today, we were visited by Mo and her owner from The Dogs Trust. They taught us how to be a responsible owner and how to be safe around dogs. Remember: always ask the owner to stroke their dog and let their dog smell you first to see if it wants to be stroked!

Today, Beth Tweddle MBE came to visit Broadbent Fold. She visited every class and we got to ask her questions about her gymnastics career. We watched clips of her at the World Champions and at the London 2012 Olympics. We asked her lots of questions: 1. How old were you when you won your first gold medal? “I was 8 years old.” 2. What age did you start gymnastics? “I started gymnastics when I was 7 years old.” “I retired when I was 28.” “Can you work out how many years I trained being a gymnast?” 3. What apparatus did you find difficult?

On Tuesday 5th February, the whole school participated in Internet Safety Day. This years theme was: Create, Connect and Share Respect: a better internet starts with you. In Year 3, we explored why we use the internet and how we can play the role in helping create a safer online community. Year 5 came to talk to us about cyberbulling and how to think SMART. We then created posters which we shared with Year 1 children. We taught them everything we know about internet safety. At the end of the session, Miss Lewis asked lots of questions to see how much we had learnt.

Following the lesson the class visited Year 3 to share their knowledge. Both classes enjoyed the activity and some fantastic learning took place. It sees we have some budding health advisors and dentists in our school! Well done everyone! Mrs Blomeley
