Broadbent Fold welcomed Ash today who is freestyle footballer. He is an expert at tricks and skills with a football and became a Guinness World Record holder by practising for over 17 years, up to 5 hours a day. The children even got the chance to have a go at some of the tricks too. What a fantastic assembly!

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.
As part of our English work, we have been researching Jane Goodall who has observed chimpanzees in the wild for over 40 years and has changed the way people think about them. She is an activist and conservationist, teaching society about the importance of saving habitats and how closely related humans are to chimpanzees. Read all about her in our biographies that will be posted next week.

To aid the children's memory of the organs and functions of the digestive system, Year 4 got the chance to make a life size model of the digestive system today, using one of their friends. It was lots of fun.

What a fantastic group of gymnasts we have in Year 4. We're only in week 2 and the children are perfecting their jumps and on hands work to get smooth transitions and bridges between their movements. They're really working hard as well. Well done Year 4.

For World Book Week, Year 4 made an exceptional non- fiction book all about The Tudor. They each had one area to research and make notes on and compile a few paragraphs about. The end result, I'm sure you'll agree, is exceptional. I am very proud of their efforts and hard work. It was no mean feat to create a book in a week. Well done Year 4.
Do you know what this famous Dame did for girls science education? Find out in our next assembly.
Today, the children got their first science lesson in our new topic- digestion. The children were able to identify some organs before the session, knowing that their food went into their stomach but were far more knowledgeable after the lesson. They were able to make connections easily between the teeth and how food is broken down with the stomach, small and large intestines. Inevitably, the children were 'grossed out' with discussing how the body gets rid of waste food!
