Game Changers

Well done to our new Game Changers who completed their training last night. They are going to help promote girls football as part of a national campaign to have equal access by 2024. They have some fantastic ideas already and are loving wearing their new hoodies.


Year 5’s busy first Forest School session

Year 5 had a fabulous, busy forest school session this week. They played their favourite game Closer, Closer then did lots of different activities such as den building, making conker necklaces, bug hunting and making some delicious cakes, magic potions and filtering water in the mud kitchen. They all enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks too! Well done everyone. 


Autumn 2 Spies Topic Year 5

Autumn Term 2 in Year 5 will be action packed in more ways than one!  Our new topic is 'Can you crack the codes to become a Spy?'  A firm favourite in Year 5, this topic presents some fantastic opportunities for writing!   The children will create interesting character descriptions and mysterious settings, resulting in spine tingling spy narratives!  They will adore Spy Day, with its opportunity to dress up as their very own spy, as well as being able to design and make their own spy gadgets!  Here is the Medium Term plan for this term, together with the Home Learning Challenge Grid.

Girls Pokémon Semi Final

Our girls football team had the Pokemon semi final tonight against St Raphael's and Dowson Primary School. They lost 3-0 to St Raphael's and 2-0 to Dowson. The girls showed great team spirit and enthusiasm throughout all of the games, supporting each other and did the school proud. Izzy showed some fantastic goal keeping skills and Reiss was very calm in defence and showed great control in the game. Evie-Mae was our player of the tournament for some brilliant tackles and for really throwing herself into every game. 


Reading Ambassadors training

Today the KS2 Reading Ambassadors met together for their training with Cassie from and Joy from Tameside Libraries. They have ideas ready to set a whole school reading challenge.

Thank you for your ideas- what a great team! 


Broadbent Fold vs St John’s

It was the boys football team's turn to play tonight where they had a game against St John's CE Primary School with a last minute goal by St John's in the final minute resulting in a final score of 2-3. There was some fantastic goalkeeping with a penalty saved and lots of great shots on target at the goal. Our defensive players really improved upon our last match holding their space better and working as a team. Well done boys, you did our school proud!


Super Space Week

Week beginning the 4th October is national space week. The school immersed themselves in learning about space. They have been fascinated about our solar system, the planets, the moons, space travel, astronauts and other galaxies. Year 2 even went to Jodrell Bank as a trip. Look at how fantastic the schools' display looks.
