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.


Lighting Up The World

Wow! Today, Dom from Skillsupply came into Year 4 to teach the children how to code electrical diodes. The class had an amazing time programming, writing algorithms, reading digital literacy, using Crumble equipment and electrical items, making lights change colour and flash and they even wrote a loop code and programmed a switch. A super morning was had by all. 


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!

A massive congratulations to our Head teacher Merit winner, the children who gained the Good to be Green pencils and our first 4 silver certificate awards. Well done everyone. 


Mindfulness in Year 4

Peace and calm reigned in Year 4 this afternoon in our yoga session with Miss Harrop. The children practised mindfulness during breathing exercises and yoga poses. How very relaxing on a very wet and windy day. 


Our Amazing Visitor

Today, Imran came into class to teach Year 4 about the Prophet Mohammad. It was fascinating to find out about the life of the Prophet. The children were amazed to find out how the Prophet lived through so many tragedies in his life. The calling from Allah was strong and Mohammad went into the wilderness to receive messages from God through Angel Gabriel, writing these down in the Quran. The children were very respectful and listened intently to Imran when he was explaining. They also asked some very good questions too.


Our Scottish Visitor

What an amazing opportunity we had today as Joseph's dad came and shared his childhood stories from Scotland. We revelled in his stories about The Loch Ness Monster and the Goddess Beira. The children loved the taste of Scotland as he'd brought in Iron Bru and homemade shortbread.  A massive thank you for coming and talking to the class, it really brought the Scottish myths and legends to life and gave them meaning. 


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.
