The whole school have been studying important black historical figures. The children have worked hard to learn and perform poems, find out about segregation and the American civil rights movement, to learn about inspirational figures and their fight for equality, freedom and reduce racism. We all hope in the future for an equal society, where regardless of the colour of our skin, we are treated fairly and with respect.
The first football match of the week saw Broadbent Fold girls team play St Mary's Catholic Primary School with a final score of 2-4. There were some brilliant defensive skills and teamwork throughout the match. A big thank you to Mia for stepping up to play for the team last minute when a couple of our usual players couldn't make it.

It was the third and final week of the cross country this Saturday and it certainly was feeling more like cross country weather but that didn't stop the pupils from Broadbent Fold. We had some amazing results with children knocking a minute off their time from previous weeks, pupils finishing in higher ranked positions and we even had George win the Under 9 boys race! It was lovely to see the Broadbent Fold community come together with pupils and parents all cheering on and supporting children in the different races.
Year 3 are very exciting to be starting The Linking Schools Project.
The process supports all children to build connections with others as they undertake an exciting, learning journey together with their class.
The key areas focused on are:
'Who am I ?'
'Who are we?'
'Where do we live?'
On display we have our Linking School's jumper and our Broadbent Fold jumper we've exchanged them as the first part of our journey.
Coming soon....bunting made my our Linking School!

Our Art Gallery in Key Stage 2 looks amazing with artwork from this half term! Year 3 learnt about George Bridgetower - a famous violinist from Poland - and their sketches are brilliant! Year 4, inspired by their Roman topic, created people in motion and produced some great Roman Soldiers! Year 5 have been learning about the lives of poor Victorian children who had to work for a living. They used the medium of charcoal to create their images of grubby chimney sweeps. Year 6 have produced some fantastic work, inspired by street artists Keith Haring and Banksy. We are very proud of our
We loved taking part in the tag rugby competition today with our A team coming 2nd and our B team coming 4th in our group. The A team won a match against Broadbent Fold B team, drew against Pinfold and lost to Aldwyn Primary School. Our B team also played against Aldwyn and Pinfold primary schools and were fantastic at tagging the other teams.
Lots of tries were scored, lots of sliding in the mud and lots of fun by all. Well done everyone, you did Broadbent Fold proud!

As part of their Victorian Topic, "What was life like for Victorian children" Year 5 enjoyed travelling back in time to George Street Chapel in Oldham today! They met families from the past who explained that life was tough for most Victorians. Children had to work both inside and outside their homes without, of course, some of the inventions that were discovered during the Victorian era. They enjoyed "washing day" and their time at school, followed by some creative activities in the afternoon such as making peg dolls, stained glass windows and handwriting with pen and ink! Everyone con
