Heritage Day 2022

Date: 4th Jul 2022 @ 2:15pm

What another amazing Boundary Heritage Day! This year our theme was ‘Significant people and events in Blackpool’. From a trip to Bloomfield Road to a visit from a Funny Girl's Drag Queen, the children have had a great day. Each year group was given a different key question to investigate and enquire about.

Nursery/Reception: How has the seaside changed? What was it like in the past compared to now?

Year 1: How did William Cocker and Sir John Bickerstaffe influence Blackpool tourism by building Blackpool Tower?

Year 2: How did Thomas Sergenson and Frank Matcham influence theatre in Blackpool by building The Grand Theatre?

Year 3: Who are the Thompson family and more specifically who is Amanda Thompson?

Year 4: What is Fisherman’s Friend and how did Doreen Lofthouse help and continue to help the community after her passing?

Year 5: Who is Ian Holloway and what did he and Blackpool FC achieve in 2010?

Year 6: How has Basil Newby influenced the LGBT community in Blackpool?

Head to your child’s class page on the school website for more photos and information about their day. Well done everyone!
