Year 6 Daily Mile

As part of our work to improve our wellbeing, we've been taking part in the mini London marathon. What a great day to walk or run around the field!


Year 6 Summer Term 1

 I do hope you have all had a fantastic Easter break. As you are aware, your Year 6 child's Key Stage 2 tests start on Monday 12th May.  Over the next 13 school days, we will be gap-filling their knowledge and practicing a lot in maths, reading, and SPaG to ensure they are fully prepared. Please continue to support your child with any revision. Alongside our new topic:  Skellig- Is it a bird or a Mythical Creature? we will be locating deserts, classifying living things, and using the story to inspire us in our narrative writing.  Important Dates and Information


5 Ways of Wellbeing

Year 6 started their first sessions to support their well-being. Nechen supported the class to develop their understanding of how to improve their own wellbeing. 


Maths in Art!

Most classes took part in an Art activity during the recent World Maths Day!  It was a great opportunity to investigate different shapes and the children were inspired by artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian.  Year 4 focussed on M.C. Escher and his infamous tessellations whilst Year 6 included some 3D art into the equation!  Fantastic artwork by everyone!  Mrs Blomeley.


Visit from GB sprinter Andy Robertson

We were lucky enough to have a visit from GB sprinter Andy Robertson who recently won the bronze medal at the European indoor athletics championships. He told us all about his life as an athlete and how he started athletics when he was 8 years old! He answered lots of our questions and even brought his medal in to show us!


World Maths Day Awards!

Well done to all our award winners following World Maths Day last week!  The whole school took part in the Mathletics challenge to play with almost 10,000 children across the country!  Our children at Broadbent Fold excel at Maths and we are very proud of their brilliant efforts!  Certificates were awarded to the top 5 children in each class, with prizes for the top scoring children across the country.  Our Year 4 winner came 51st in the country!  How amazing!  Prizes were also given for fantastic homework and for trying to find a job that doesn't need Maths!  Of course, every job needs Mat

The entries were amazing and super creative. Choosing our winner and runner up wasn't easy but a huge well done to the winner who created an Indiana Jones entry! Our runner up was the Castleton entry which brought back good memories of our residential trip. We also had 2 lucky raffle winners from our class!
