Summer Term 1 Year 6

Dear  Parents, CarersI 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, 11th May.  Over the next 19 school days, we will be gap-filling their knowledge and practising 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


Basketball competition

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 basketball teams who competed in a tournament against other schools in Tameside just before the holidays. Both teams showed fantastic awareness of themselves and their opposition and worked well to move the ball around the court. They persevered with their shooting skills and managed to successfully score points on many occasions by the end of the tournament. Well done everyone! 


Team Winners!

Team Sapphire have won the house points this half term with 1056 points! Well done Team Sapphire, please enjoy your non-uniform day tomorrow. 


Girls Festival at Manchester City

The girls attended an under 11s festival - they played 4 teams and did not concede a goal - outstanding defence and goal keeping. We got knocked out in the final on penalties - however Woman of the Match was Captain Matilda who saved at least 8 penalties. Super proud of our girls! 


DFE Attendance Filming.

It's been an exciting day in school today as we took part in a film for the Department for Education on school attendance. It shows the value of school and shows how it’s more than schoolwork. Being in school can help children build resilience, learn social skills, boost their confidence, and teach them that they can do hard things. In short, this is about the social and emotional benefits of school, which we put at the heart of at Broadbent Fold. Thank you for all staff and parents for taking part.
