What a great morning! Today was Year 5's Takeover Day. In Year 4, our teachers, Miss Shepherd, Miss Lewis and Miss Morrison, taught us lines of symmetry in Maths, how to back up our answers with evidence using the text in Guided Reading and figurative language in Reading into Writing. The teachers were helped out throughout the morning by Miss Roberts and Mr Butterfield. Well done Year 5! You did a great job and showed so many characteristics such as confidence and enthusiasm.

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!

Today we had our first Forest School session of the year. It was a veyr hot day so we made the most of the tarpualins and made plenty of shelters to keep out of the sun. Whilst we were down there, some of us made jewellery using elder branches, some of us finger knitted and some of us explored the pond and surrounding area, where we saw lots of tadpoles and even a couple of frogs. We are looking forward to our next session.

Our Science unit this half term is focusing on the human body and how to stay healthy. We started by looking at the function of the heart before learning about the circulatory system.

Although it is a complicated concept. the children conducted an experiment using potatoes to demonstrate how osmosis works, which really helped to deepen their understanding.

During Thursday's assembly, Ella-Rose was presented with a bundle of books by Get Blackpool Reading as she won the National Literacy Trust poetry competition. Here is Ella-Rose’s poem:

Dont sin it, bin it! working together we can win it."

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.

"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.

They also painted a beanstalk as a challenge and made their own using various craft resources from the creative area.
"Fiee! Fi! Fo! Fum!" Kit.
"Jack's mum was angry because he sold the cow for magic beans" Lennox.
"The beanstalk grew very tall...it reached the clouds...Jack climbed all the way up to the Giant's castle" Ibrahim.

To finish off the week we made some tasty Easter nests!

It's wonderful when a certain activity really engages children and you can see their skills developing. One of our nursery superstars has really enjoyed exploring the constructuion area recently and has been working really hard to develop his skills. He has gone from building simple towers, to adding features to his towers and is now able to build with a purpose in mind - this week he has made a train! Amazing work!
