Y6 Stars of the week 28-1-22

Congratulations to our stars of the week Scarlett and Lucea.

Scarlett did thorough research about Viking warrior Ivar the Boneless and created a really detailed biography about his life. I am very impressed with your writing Scarlett.

Lucea has been practising her times tables facts and this is really clear in the progress that she is making in Maths Booster. Fantastic!

Our Good to be Green Awards go to Reuben and Harley this week.


Year 5 and 6 Dodgeball Competition

Year 5 and 6 pupils represented Broadbent Fold at the dodgeball competition this week. The Year 5 and 6 teams played against Arlies, Greenside, Holden Clough, Pinfold and Manchester Road primary schools. A big well done to everyone who took part! Pupils got much more confident as the tournament went on and got a lot more stuck in working really well as a team and encouraging each other. 

A special mention to Xander who won the schools games respect award for showing great respect to his team mates, the opposiing team and the referees in all of the matches. 


Y6 Star of the week 21-1-22

Congratulations to our Y6 Stars this week.

Cameron really impressed me in his extra maths booster lesson after school this week. He confidently worked on dividing numbers representing his answers as a decimal- this is not easy but you made it look like it was!

Annabelle is a delightful young lady who contributes to all lessons with confidence and enthusiasm.

Our Good to be Green winners are Matilda and Laura. Well done for following our school values this week. 


Philosophy For Children in Y6

Year 6 have really impressed us this term in our Philosophy For Children (P4C) lessons. We have started the sessions looking at identity and what it means to be human. Over the next few weeks we will move on to look at extremism and terrorism. The children have been mature, respectful and sensitive in discussing such important topics. During the sessions, the children have had  the opportunity to choose their own lines of enquiry to discuss and debate.


Y6 Star of the week 14-1-22

Congratulations to our superstars Roban and Hannah who were awarded with a headteacher's certificate this week.

Roban is enjoying learning about the Vikings in history and produced some good research about Viking life.

Hannah has persevered with difficult work on fractions in maths- keep this up.

Our Good to be Green awards go to Darcy and Oliver- well done for staying on green all week!!


Freeze Frame

We played a game called Freeze Frame in English this week. The children had to re-create a frozen image depicting the Viking attack on the monastries at Lindisfarne. They had to then come alive and make inferences about what each character would say. We had some great actors during this who were very entertaining. Hopefully this will help us to get into character when writing quotes in our newspaper reports. 


Fractions in Y6

We have used online manipulatives this week to help us explore fractions. We used the fraction wall on mathsbot.com to find equivalent fractions.
