Do you know how to keep safe online?

2020 is providing lots of opportunities for learning online. Below is an overview of some of the areas of Computing that children could be accessing as part of their home school learning.

E-SAFETY Home Learning 

As part of our Computing curriculum and RSE/PSHE lessons e-safety lessons are taught. 

We ask children how do they keep safe online?

Please send pictures of learning via the Seesaw app or using the school email if you wish for the work to be shared on the class blog. 

Other home learning activities include:

Reading - individual school books, tameside libraries- borrow box, books/comics or magazines from home


Our first term of Forest School

Everyone has had a fantastic time at Forest School this term.  They have been lighting 'fairy blankets', using tools safely for whittling and sawing logs to make wood cookies.  The children have also played new games, made natural paint brushes, identified leaves, balanced on the slackline and played in the mud.  Each group has been cooking in the mud kitchen and they have made smores by toasting marshmallows on the campfire.  What a busy few weeks.  I am very proud of them all!

 


Year 6 Autumn 2 Maths Workbooks

Please see the attached workbooks for the mathematical topics that we will be covering in Year 6 in Autumn 2. Please use these booklets to support home learning.

Don't forget to send in pictures/samples of work using the Seesaw app or send work to the school admin address.

Black History Month in year 6

During Black History Month Year 6 have explored the life of Rosa Park and how she was a catalyst for the Civil Rights Act in 1964 with her small but life changing act of refusing to move on a bus. Her defiance and determination helped to stop segregation in America. 

 

Year 6 have also researched a person from the black community who they find inspiring. They then created Powerpoint Presentations which they shared with their peers in the class. 

Well done for your fantastic work this week year 6. 


Y6 Stars of the week 23-10-20

Congratulations to our Year 6 stars of the week.

Oliver has completed some impressive word problems this week using his knowledge of multiplication and division. I am very impressed with him.

Reuben has been mature during our Black History Week and actively joined in with class discussions. I am impressed with his own research and presentation skills too. 

Well done boys. 

Thank you to all of Year 6 for a wonderful half term. All of them deserve a certificate. 

Have a lovely half term holiday :) 

 


Pumpkin Carving Competition!

What a fantastic collection of pumpkins we received back into school!  Children from all year groups at Broadbent Fold have been busy carving their pumpkins ready to return them to school to line our Key Stage 2 path.  We also had a selection of entries sent in by email from some of the children who are isolating at home.  Each pumpkin was unique and they all looked amazing!  This afternoon our Pupil Leaders had the difficult job of choosing some winners.  All of the designs were brilliant but the Pupil Leaders managed to choose four:
