James Harris visits Boundary

Date: 10th Jul 2023 @ 1:36pm

We were so thrilled to be visited by author, James Harris on Friday 7th July. He conducted a whole school assembly where he talked about writing books and how he got into it. James grew up in  seaside town, near Middlesbrough (just like Blackpool). James definitely inspired some of our aspiring young writers to follow in his footsteps and begin writing their own books. 

Throughout the day, Year 5 and 6 took part in workshops, where James talked about creating stories from things he was most interested in. James got the children to draw a random shape on a piece of paper and told them to swap them and then he told them to create the shape into a monster. The children could shout out a number between 1-40 and James would give them different ideas to help create a monster. This showed the children that they could let their imagination run wild and create something from 'nothing'! 

Year 5 - Heritage Day

Date: 4th Jul 2023 @ 10:40am

For Boundary’s Heritage Day 2023, we were asked to answer the question, 'Why did Boundary become a popular tourist resort?' We discovered lots of interesting facts about our town's history, including that in the 1930s the town had over 10 million visitors per year! We presented our finding on a google slideshow and shared these with the rest of the school in an assembly.

Year 5 Takeover Day Success!

Date: 22nd Jun 2023 @ 11:48am

Year 5 Takeover Day Success!
 
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. Rose 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. Perkins 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". Mrs. Farley, who had John from Year 5 as her mini teacher, has even given him a regular job that he will now perform on a daily basis, helping to set up the outdoor area in Reception!
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!

Year 5 - Careers Fair

Date: 22nd Jun 2023 @ 10:50am

The children in Year 5 had the opportunity to talk about a variety of careers such as Tysons, Eric Wright, different roles throughout the NHS at Blackpool Teaching Hospital, a captain of a ship, Blackpool Business Project Manager and discussing sustainability with Inspired. Kirsty and Ida, from Inspired, kindly donated 100 flower bombs for Boundary to plant too. The children thoroughly enjoyed their morning learning about these different occupations and it has given them an insight into a future that they would like to have for themselves. Another huge thank you to everyone who was involved!

What an amazing day at Blackpool Zoo! The pupils all had a fantastic time, their behaviour was a credit to the school and their families, and they walked there and back again without a moan. We saw many of the wonderful animals, including: ring-tailed lemurs, monkeys, giraffes and a close-up with the red panda, and we also had talks from the zoo's education team about sea lions, elephants and penguins. Khari the lion has been returned to Blackpool zoo into his new enclosure, and has been out exploring for the first time this week. It was great to see him back again!
