Victorian Role Play !

Year 5 asked some sensible and interesting questions to various Victorian characters who they have met recently in their class texts.  They questioned Jim Jarvis and Rosie from "Street Child" as well as Jimmy Turton, whose job was a Trapper down the mine.  The class enjoyed delving further into the lives of these poor Victorians.  Mrs Blomeley


Space in the Year 5 Classroom!

Year 5 enjoyed putting their inflatable planets of the Solar System to good use last week!   As part of their Earth and Space topic, the class were able to identify and order the planets from their position to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.  They also created their own Mnemonics to learn the order as well as presenting facts they had learnt about different planets to the class!  Very impresive Year 5!   Mrs Blomeley

Broadbent Fold vs Hollingworth

Our Year 5 and 6 boys football team had a great first match of the season with a close game against Hollingworth Primary School where we won 3-2. The boys showed great teamwork and positivity throughout the match and communicated well. There were some amazing goals scored and fantastic goal keeping skills throughout the match. Well done to everyone who played!
