This half-term, children in year 5 have been learning how to write a biography. We have read biographies of several famous people including, Roald Dahl, Stormzy and Wayne Rooney, and identified the language and structural features that make them different to other text types. Follwing the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, pupils carried out research, planned, drafted and edited a biography of her life, before presenting a final, polished piece of writing.
Year 4 Queen Elizabeth II tribute
Date: 21st Sep 2022 @ 1:09pm
On Friday, we learned more about Queen Elizabeth II's love for corgis and horses. Over her lifetime, the Queen had over 60 dogs and numerous horses - her favourite being Burmese a Canadian horse. The children used numerous images showing this love for animals to create collages. We think they look fantastic!

Today we learnt about the Christian belief that the Church community is like a family and considered why it might be important to welcome new people into the Church family. We listened to the story ‘All Are Welcome’ and discussed the different ways the characters were made welcome and how we make new children feel welcome in our classroom.
We learnt that parents ask for the child to be baptised so that it can belong to this family and develop a relationship with God. We discussed the importance of Christians making new members of the church family welcome. We then completed a task in groups to recognise and name basic artifacts and practices of a Christian baptism.
Year 2- Exploring the Commonwealth
Date: 15th Sep 2022 @ 3:02pm
As part of our remembrance of the Queen, Year 2 explored the commonwealth. We looked at the 56 countries that are part of the commonwealth and identified some of these places on a world map as well as exploring each of the nations different flags. Also, we discussed the role the Queen had in the commonwealth and looked at a variety of pictures of her visiting the different members. We found it interesting looking at pictures of the Queen from the time across her reign and created a collage using pictures, flags and facts to display our learning.

We started our Rubgy lessons today with Tom from Wigan Warriors. We will be learning lots of new rugby skills over this half term when Tom comes in every Thursday! We absolutely loved it. We learned how to hold the rugby ball and even started to tag each other with it when we were trying to score a try!
Year 2 - Promises, promises, promises.
Date: 7th Sep 2022 @ 8:19pm
The beginning of a new school year is the perfect time to recap on our all important Boundary Promises. We discussed why we have rules and why they are important in a range different of environments, not just in school. We then recapped on our five key Always Promises at Boundary; be in the right place at the right time with the right things, act with honesty and respect, always try your best, work well together and use safe and friendly words and behaviours. We then worked well together to sort different scenarios, discuss how they linked to each Promise and whether they were a good choice or a bad choice.

This week Reception took part in the Boundary Choral Speaking competition, reciting the nursery rhyme 'Old Mother Hubbard'.
The children tried to communicate the mood through drama, costumes, choreography of body movements and emphasis of certain words in the rhyme.
They were amazing and we are so proud of them all!
Year 3- Choral speaking champions!
Date: 12th Jul 2022 @ 6:00pm
Across the school children have been learning a range of poems to perform in our choral speaking competition. Year Three have spent the last few weeks rehearsing and preparing our poem 'Don't Quit' by Edgar Albert Guest. We chose this poem because of it's link to growth mindset, by sending the message that we mustn't give up when things seem challenging.
Year Three did an amazing performance today which made us become KS2 choral speaking champions!

This week we had our Heritage Day. It was a fantastic day learning all about the history of Doreen Lofthouse and Fisherman's Friend. We began the day by learning all about how Fisherman's Friend are made and how they first came to be. We then tried a lot of the different flavours (some were much better than others)! Then, we created our own timelines to show the development of Fisherman's Friend over time and how Doreen Lofthouse and her charitable donations benefited the local commnity for years after her death.

As part of heriatge day, Year 3 answered the question 'Who are the Thompson family and more specifically who is Amanda Thompson?' We started by looking at the jounrey of the Pleasure Beach and discovered how much it has changed since it was first opened. We ordered pictures to create a timeline of the Pleasure Beach. Did you know that the Pleasure Beach was originally built on the sand dunes?
We then went on to look at the significance of the Thompson family and everything they had done for the pleasure Beach and Blackpool. We used our art skills to create an artistic fact file about Amanda Thompson. We were inspired by her achievements, especially in her achievements as a female. We found out that the role she is holds is mainly held by men!
It was very interesting learning about Amanda Thompson and her family and we are grateful for the jobs she creates in Blackpool and the tourism that she helps to bring in to our home town.
