Tennis in year 6

Year 6 have great skills in tennis and have enjoyed our block of tennis work with coach Jordan.

This week we had lots of matches.


Science challenge- what is this?

Can you guess what is in the picture this time? 

Can you describe the colour, texture and shapes that you can see? Does it remind you of anything?

If you think you know the answer write it down with your name and give it to Miss Harvey. 


Explorify...

Well done to those who guessed correctly today- it was a starfish!

Did you know that a starfish is not actually a fish and it cannot swim? It is an echinoderm which uses its suckers to crawl across the ocean floor. 


Book Look

Thank you for parents and carers who attended our book look. It was very successful and really nice to see faces in school again. 


GMP visit Year 6

Today Greater Manchester Police visited us to talk about knife crime and staying safe in our community.

The officers explained about 'Joint Enterprise' This is when you may be involved in an incident where somebody dies- you may not have physically hurt the person but could still be charged if you were there and knew that somebody had the knife or had gone intending to fight. 

The children were very mature and asked lots of sensible questions.

Outdoor Learning Day in Year 6

Thursday 19th May was Outdoor Learning Day so year 6 took the opportunity to continue their learning about animal and their habitats in our outdoor environment. The class have been learning about classification keys in science so we used a key to identify different invertebrates. We looked at where the animals were found to identify the preferred living conditions of them.

Please send in any photographs of any other invertebrates that you find at home year 6. 

 


Y6 Star of the week 20-5-22

Well done to our superstars this week Harley and Ava.

Harley enjoyed our invertebrate hunt yesterday and was able to use his classification key to identify animals.

Ava has produced some outstanding writing recently- especially her spokky narrative writing about a girl that turned into a doll.

Brooke and Sophie have won the Good to be Green Award today.


Cricket champions

Broadbent Fold had a fantastic afternoon at the cricket and we had lovely weather for a change too! In the first round we played Arlies Primary School winning the game 79-49. We then played Bradley Green Primary Academy and won 85-42 putting us in the final.


Year 6 Arts Award

Today we celebrated our Arts Award achievement. Our year 6 pupils received their Arts Award certificate linked to working with an artist in school around the topic of ‘Keen to be Green’. Where we had a focus on our environment and clean air.
