Year 5 Takeover Day 2024

Date: 20th Jun 2024 @ 11:14am

Today In Boundary Primary School Year 5 had Takeover Day when they takeover the teachers, teaching assistant, site staff, administration staff and social media roles!
About a week before Takeover Day, each child from both classes got to choose one job to work for the day - they then had to apply and interview for their chosen role.

Throughout the day Year 5 have been doing a wonderful job learning what it takes to have a real job. The reporters have been interviewing pupils and mini teaching staff; Mrs. Farley says that she wouldn't change anything about this Take Over Day.
Children told us that they have had a great time, the Deputy Head Teacher's were invloved with lesson observations, the Admin Team were taking phonecalls and ensuring classes had the correct letters to take home (and that the lunches for next week were ordered!). Mr. Humble our Sports Coach enjoyed having his Year 5 helpers, telling us "the Year 5 mini teachers were very organised and I would let them do it more often".

Overall the day has been a great success - with feedback from the adults who have the real jobs saying that this has probably been the best Take Over Day yet!
