Broadbent Fold were honoured to be visit by Olympic Gold Medallist Beth Tweddle last half term. Our Sports Ambassadors asked some in-depth questions about how to inspire young children to get involved in sport and the opportunities inside and outside of school to engage participation. Our Sports Ambassadors will publish the full interview so tuned for more details! We will hopefully be using Beth’s Total Gymnastics school programme in the upcoming year to develop our gymnastics skills.

Science Club members have been busy lately investigating scientific theories whilst making Gloop and Lava Lamps.  Firstly, we found out that Gloop is a non-Newtonian fluid.  It is a solution that behaves a little like a solid and a little like a liquid and seems to defy the laws of gravity.  You just need to mix Cornflour and water to make this substance and, although it is messy, it's a lot of fun!  The children were amazed by the actions they saw in their Lava lamps which, they learnt, were caused by hydrophobia!  .
