We have been investigating how light travels in straight lines using torches and mirrors. We then had lots of fun working in groups to make a periscope. A periscope is an optical instrument that uses mirrors to reflect images through a 3D shape. Light rays hit the top mirror and are then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope to the second mirror. At the bottom of the periscope, the light hits another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer's eye.
The Eco leaders would like to launch a competition to design a new sign for our blue paper bins in school. They would like the sign to explain why it is important to recycle paper - e.g. Save the world, recycle your paper. The sign should be eye catching and colourful on A4 paper. Please send your entries into school by Friday 4th November and the Eco leaders will be choosing the winners from each class.

We have started to develop our diverse section of books in the KS2 Library and in our KS1 classrooms. We are very excited about the range of books that we have added to our library. These include books, characters and authors from the Black, African and Minority Ethnic community and books which celebrate characters who are neurodiverse.
Have a look in the KS2 Library for our new books with the brown sticker bands.

This week Year 6 visited Rayner Stephens High School to take part in a Spanish afternoon. They started leaning vocabulary to use a train station, bank and cafe. After a game of pac-man to practise using the vocabulary, we then went down to the watinig room in the train ticket office. They then used their Spanish phrases to change a travellers cheque, order a train ticket and spend their remaining Euros in the cafe. It was fantástico!
October is Black History Month. At Broadbent Fold we continue to raise awareness of equality and diversity. Check out our year group blogs to see which significant black individual each class has been studying. We are here to learn from the past to make a difference to our present day and our future for everyone.

Broadbent Fold's girls football team had a fantastic first match of the season beating St Mary's 1-0. It was the first time a lot of the girls had ever played a football match but they all got stuck in and showed brilliant team work and their football skills really improved throughout the match. The player of the match this game was Kasia for her brilliant goal keeping skills and also for helping lots of the new girls on the team. Well done girls!
World Space Week begins on 4th October and Thursday 6th October is National Poetry Day.
We are going to combine them together for our new competition for Y1-6.
I would like you to create a space themed poem. This could be about the planets, our solar system or maybe you want to make a poem about aliens.
Present your poem colourfully and you may win a prize in your class. Hand your completed poem to your teacher by Friday 14th October and the winners will be announced in assembly in the final week of the half term.
Good luck.
Miss Harvey
