In the Autumn term the Eco leaders and their chosen helpers from each class planted crocus and daffodil bulbs with the help of the members of the Tameside Rotary. The crocuses were donated by the Tameside Rotary to commemorate the End Polio Now campaign. Now that it is the beginning of spring the flowers are starting to grow. Fabulous job everyone! Please make sure that any litter is picked up, as we sadly found a number of pieces of litter near the new flowers.
This week we celebrate World Book day on Thursday. During the week, we have lots of fun reading and book events taking place. Each class will have story time swaps where a different adult from the school will come to read them a story. Each class will make books to be displayed in their library making every child an author!. On Thursday Years 4-6 will take part in a football themed reading quiz. All children may bring in their favourite books, comics or magazines to read on Thursday. On Friday you may choose to dress up as your favourite character- I can't wait to see who you come as.
This half term we will be looking at how Britain changed when people from the Caribbean and other islands came to Britain on HMT Empire Windrush to rebuild Britain's economy after the War between 1948 and 1971. We will explore some mature themes this half term including discussing racism and extreme views through our Topic, RE and Philosophy For Children lessons. We also have World Book Day activities and British Science Week activities to look forward to. Our Y6 children will plan and run a Science Fair for the rest of the school- this will be so exciting!
Broadbent Fold boys football team had a tough match against St Johns with a final score of 2-5. A special mention to player of the match Jack for showing great sportsmanship and encouraging the team throughout the match. Well done to everyone that played, you did our school proud.
Broadbent Fold loved taking part in the indoor athletics competition. They came 17th in Tameside (19th in the track events and 13th in the field events). The schools best events were the girls triple jump, the speed bounce and the boys over under relay. Well done to everyone that took part, you did the school proud.

Our Stars of the week in Year 6 are Heidi and Seth.
I love Heidi's completed Viking pop-up book. She has used a range of mechanisms and spent a lot of time making sure that her finished presentation was to a high standard.
Seth has being working incredibly hard in booster sessions- I loved his twisted fairy tale this week.
Jenson won our Vocabulary Ninja Award this term.
Our Good to be Green winners are Harriet and Thomas.

Year 6 have loved their DT Week creating Viking pop-up books. We started by conducting some market research- looking at pop up books and how they work and what we liked or disliked about them. We then practised creating lots of different mechanisms like levers, sliders, spinners and pop-up structures. In our designs, we had to create a pop up book with three different mechanisms in. Today Year 6 shared their completed books with the children in year 3 to get to constructive feedback.

Year 3 had a special treat this morning. Year 6 children shared their brilliant Viking pop up-books. We were very impressed! Thank you for sharing your amazing work.
