Y6 authors

This week Year 6 have created some emotional poems based on a migrant's story in our class text 'The Arrival' 

We have made our poems into our own class book which will be proudly displayed in the library for others to read. Please look through the photographs at all of their wonderful pieces of work. 


Well done

Thank you to our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians for their help during World Book Day. They received a certificate in assembly today :)

We will meet next week to look at the top hat designs and choose our winners...

World Book Day quiz

Today our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians worked together to organise and put on a book quiz at lunchtimes for the school. They helped the children work out emoji clues to guess the fairytale, nursery rhyme or children's book. The children have worked so hard on identifying books and we are really impressed with their efforts and how many books they could recognise.

Thank you so much to our Reading Ambassadors and Librarians :)

Story time swap in Y6

 

Year 6 have enjoyed their story time this week with Mrs Laitl and Miss Lewis. Mrs Laitl read 'Głodna gąsienica' 'The Hungry Caterpillar' in Polish. It was lovely to see the children recognising some of the language like days of the week and vegetables. Miss Lewis entertained us with one of her favourite stories 'The Wonky Donkey.'


Footy & Book Quiz

Year 6 enjoyed the Footy & Book Quiz that we took part in today as part of our World Book Day celebrations. 3 teams came joint first with a score of 17/20!


Our crocuses and daffodils are growing!

In the Autumn term the Eco leaders and their chosen helpers from each class planted crocus and daffodil bulbs with the help of the members of the Tameside Rotary. The crocuses were donated by the Tameside Rotary to commemorate the End Polio Now campaign.  Now that it is the beginning of spring the flowers are starting to grow.  Fabulous job everyone!  Please make sure that any litter is picked up, as we sadly found a number of pieces of litter near the new flowers.


World Book Day Events

This week we celebrate World Book day on Thursday. During the week, we have lots of fun reading and book events taking place. Each class will have story time swaps where a different adult from the school will come to read them a story. Each class will make books to be displayed in their library making every child an author!. On Thursday Years 4-6 will take part in a football themed reading quiz. All children may bring in their favourite books, comics or magazines to read on Thursday. On Friday you may choose to dress up as your favourite character- I can't wait to see who you come as.


Spring 2 Topic Information

This half term we will be looking at how Britain changed when people from the Caribbean and other islands came to Britain on HMT Empire Windrush to rebuild Britain's economy after the War between 1948 and 1971. We will explore some mature themes this half term including discussing racism and extreme views through our Topic, RE and Philosophy For Children lessons. We also have World Book Day activities and British Science Week activities to look forward to. Our Y6 children will plan and run a Science Fair for the rest of the school- this will be so exciting!


Broadbent Fold vs St Johns

Broadbent Fold boys football team had a tough match against St Johns with a final score of 2-5. A special mention to player of the match Jack for showing great sportsmanship and encouraging the team throughout the match. Well done to everyone that played, you did our school proud.


Indoor athletics competition

Broadbent Fold loved taking part in the indoor athletics competition. They came 17th in Tameside (19th in the track events and 13th in the field events). The schools best events were the girls triple jump, the speed bounce and the boys over under relay. Well done to everyone that took part, you did the school proud.
