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!

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. 

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.

Well done to all of Year 5 who won a class award this week for their fantastic work and impeccable behaviour during our visit to George Street Chapel on Tuesday, which consolidated our learning about the Victorians!  We are very proud of all of you!  Other awards were given for amazing enthusiasm towards their work, both in and out of school, and for being Ready, Respectful and Safe!  Great work!  Mrs Blomeley
