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!

It was a day full of fun and one that we will all remember for a very long time.

 

Key Stage 2 Multi-Skills team

Date: 28th Apr 2023 @ 2:13pm

A huge well done to our KS2 Multi-Skills team who travelled to Bolton Arena on Thursday to compete in Panathlon's Multi-Skills Regional Final. To qualify for the final, Boundary had to compete against other primary schools across Blackpool, so getting to this stage was a huge achievement in itself. 
 
Out of 7 schools Boundary placed 4th after collecting points in games such as table cricket, bowling, kurling and other target games.
 
They also had the chance to meet Nathan Maguire, who has represented Great Britain in various events, most recently achieving a silver medal in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. He inspired the children with his story of a major setback in his life and how he overcame it through his love for sport.

Year 3 Desktop Publishing Invitations

Date: 26th Apr 2023 @ 11:52am

This week in Computing we used our Desktop publishing skills on Google Slides to create Royal Coronation Invitations. We were given specific information then we had to include but we needed to edit the content when we realised there had been a (deliberate) mistake! We changed the font style and colour, page orientation, included pictures and tried to make it look appealing to our intended guests. Here are a few examples of our work so far...

Reception receive a letter from the Giant!

Date: 24th Apr 2023 @ 5:07pm

This afternoon, Reception received a very exciting letter from the Giant in the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Also enclosed, were a bag of beans to plant. The letter was asking the children if they would plant some beans to grow a beanstalk.

Of course, the children were delighted to do this and couldn't wait to get planting outside with Mrs McAllister.

"I'm going to grow mine so I can climb up it!" Kian.

"First we need soil in a pot" Dolly- Anne.

"We need to make a hole with our finger and put the bean in it then cover it over with the soil so the birds don't take it!" Dillan.

"Don't forget to water it and put it in the sun to grow" Albie.
