Reading Ambassadors Display

Tameside Libraries set our Reading Ambassadors a task to create a genre display of books to persuade children to read a certain text type. They chose a fantasy theme which is books about magic, legendary creatures and faraway lands. The children put the display together themselves in the KS2 library and I think this will definitely encourage children to read these books.

Well done Ambassadors!


Mad Science Visit

Broadbent Fold were lucky to have a visit today from Mad Science today to deliver us an interactive assembly on 'What you should know about H2O' where we learnt all about solids, liquids and gases and how water is the only thing that can change between all three. We also learnt how water gets from the sea to our tap through the water cycle. We had some fantastic volunteers who showed us how water is checked to make sure it is clean enough to drink and the role that engineers and scientists play in this.


TCS Mini London Marathon

Year 4 have been enjoying taking part in the TCS Mini London Marathon this week and we have had the perfect weather for it too! They are ttying to run 2 miles each by Friday 2nd May. Come on Year 4, you can do it!


Maths in Art!

Most classes took part in an Art activity during the recent World Maths Day!  It was a great opportunity to investigate different shapes and the children were inspired by artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian.  Year 4 focussed on M.C. Escher and his infamous tessellations whilst Year 6 included some 3D art into the equation!  Fantastic artwork by everyone!  Mrs Blomeley.

We were lucky enough to have a visit from GB sprinter Andy Robertson who recently won the bronze medal at the European indoor athletics championships. He told us all about his life as an athlete and how he started athletics when he was 8 years old! He answered lots of our questions and even brought his medal in to show us!


Our Fantastic Lighthouses

Year 4 had lots of fun researching, designing and making their own lighthouses. They used their scientific knowledge from our Science topic on electricity to make their lighthouses light up. Well done everyone!
