Do you know who this brave woman is from our history? February is LGBT History Month and we’re focussing on the lives and work of some courageous LGBT women. If you find out any details let Mrs Parker know for house points - we shall do some research together in assembly.

Congratulations to our superstars this week Thomas and Keaton.
Thomas has really tried hard this week with his writing and I am impressed with his character description.
Keaton is a keen reader and he is starting to justify his opinions by referring to what has happened in the text.
Lucy and Jenson won our Good to be Green Award today.
Well done to Abigail for her great book review too.

We have had a smashing day today dressed as Vikings. We worked collaboratively in groups to plan and then perform our own Viking sagas. These were really incredible, and I am so impressed with the acting skills in the class. Your knowledge of Vikings shone through today in your re-enactments.

The Reading Ambassadors met with me this week to choose winners for the book reveiw challenge that was set in December.
Thank you to all of the children who took part in the challenge- it was a very hard decision to choose a winner for each class. Please have a look at the winning book reviews which will be sent to Tameside Libraries to share on their social media.
Our winners were: Noah Hatton, Bella Rose, Kai Munro Taylor, Sam Sheppard and Abigail Taylor.
Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online’. We are also linking this with Mental Health Week - as they go hand in hand. I am asking our pupils to design a poster about life online, which links the themes. All entries are to be sent to Mrs Parker by 10th February. Pupil Leaders will help me to decide the winners.
The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch is this weekend 27th-29th January. By taking part in Big Garden Birdwatch you, and hundreds of thousands of other like-minded nature lovers, will be taking action to protect our birds for generations to come. The Big Garden Birdwatch is fun, free and for everyone. And you don’t need a garden to take part! Counting birds from your balcony, or your local park will play a vital role in helping us understand how UK birds are doing.
Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge....it's time for the annual Tameside dodgeball competitions.
Pupils from Year 5 and 6 loved taking part in a dodgeball competition against other schools in Tameside and everyone did Broadbent Fold very proud.
Broadbent Fold Blasters (Y6) won games against Bradley Green Blasters and Aldwyn All Stars and also had some very close games against Greenside All Stars and Holden Clough coming 3rd in their group.
In 2023 Chinese New Year begins on 22 January and 2023 is the year of the rabbit. In Chinese culture, the rabbit is the symbol of hope. People born in the year of the rabbit are said to be very sociable and have lots of friends!

The Eco Leaders carried out the RSPB Big Schools Bird Watch this morning. They were all excellent at spotting the birds that are living in and near the school grounds. We saw Magpies, Carrion crows, Sparrows and Robins. We even spotted some beautiful Goldfinches eating the seeds from the Alder trees. Well done everyone you did a fabulous job!
