Year 5 have had a great 6 weeks of football coaching in PE, delivered by our local FA qualified coach. In our final lesson this week we were playing small-sided, competitive matches on the MUGA. To be successful pupils had to use the skills that they have learned over the course of the unit: controlling the ball, dribbling, defending and shooting. As we were playing as a team, pupils also had to work together to attack and defend as team, and support others to win the match. Pupils developed their tactical awareness, developing tactics to beat the other team by scoring and defending. Everyone enjoyed this, and has made progress with their football skills and their tactical awareness in games. A big 'thank you' to Mr Williams for supporting our learning this half-term.

Over this half term Year two have been learning about ways to keep ourselves healthy. We have been learning about how sleep, excercise, a balanced diet and looking after our mental wellbeing are all important parts of staying healthy. This week our focus was on hygiene. We took part in a little experiment where we covered our hands in glitter to represent how bacteria can spread so easily if we do not wash our hands properly. We also practsied a good hand-washing regime.
Boundary's Football Team - Back in Action
Date: 13th Oct 2021 @ 9:13am
As part of the EFL Kids Club / Blackpool FC Community Trust Partnership, our school team played in their first tournament with other local schools (for what seems like years...and it has been!) this week. They were able to reach the semi finals after topping the group with 5 wins and 1 draw. Unfortunately we were beaten in the semi finals but it was great to be back in action.
Well done to all who took part, we are very proud of you all!

Rosie the hen is going for a walk- but she'd better watch out as there is a sneaky fox hot on her tail feathers! Rosie then leads the fox into a series of accidents, completely unaware that she is being followed!
Reception listened to the story and laughed out loud at the fox's mishaps! Through this engaging story, the children learned how to retell the story, sequencing the events using the correct prepositions (across, around, over, under). They drew story maps, collaged a paper plate fox, painted Rosie and even made an obstacle course outside!
Here are some of our photos!

We were so excited to go on our first trip in such a long time. The children were overwhelmed by getting on a coach and had such fun. We went to the Globe Theatre and watch a Ballet demonstration. The children danced so beautifully and we learnt so much about Ballet poses and what being in a Ballet School is really like.

This half term, Year Two have began learning about healthy lifestyles and thinking about all the things we do to keep ourselves healthy. The children all drew pictures of the things they do to keep themselves healthy and wrote some sentences to accompany it. Miss Duckworth and Miss Hooson were impressed with the answers the children came up with and we discussed how the amount of sleep we get, eating a balanced diet, speaking about our feelings as well as making sure we challenge ourselves is all included in keeping ourselves healthy.

This week in Geography we began to learn about physical and human features. We learnt that human and physical features are things we can see all around us. We discussed how physical features are natural and would be here even if there were no people around. We identified physical features such as seas, grass, mountains and rivers. We also talked about how human features are man made and built by people. It was then time to visit the outdoor areas around school and the Forest School area to identify as many human and physical features as possible. Have a look at what we found!

Year 3 were lucky enough to start their journey with The Royal Ballet School. The children loved this new experience and were mesmerised by the musician that played for us while we danced. We pointed our toes, stretched our arms and learnt lots of new positions. We are looking forward to continuing out lessons and our going to The Globe Theatre to watch the experts dance!

This half term, Year Two have been enjoying a dance unit focused on animals. We have been listening to different styles of music and moving like a range of animals including lions, elephants, giraffes and monkeys. We have shared lots of ideas about how these animals might move and we have been couting in sets of 8 to try and ensure we move in sync with our partners. We have been working togtether to create our own motifs and Miss Hooson and Miss Duckworth have been very impressed with our creativity and enthusiasm.

Here are some of our Year 4's bustin' some moves in our dance lessons. What a great way to exercise and keep fit whilst having some fun along the way! Our Year 4's are loving our dance classes this half term and experiencing new movement sequences whilst getting a great core workout at the same time!

This half-term we are lucky enough to have our FA coach, Mr Williams, supporting our learning in PE. We will be learning some of the key skills of 'invasion games', which include football, netball and rugby. All of the skills and tactics are transferable to a variety of different sports and games.
This week we were looking at dribbling the football with both feet and passing the ball through a target. Children were challenged by the size of the target, by using both feet, and by using different parts of their feet to kick the ball. All the pupils enjoyed this session and were successful!

What a brilliant time the children (and staff) had on our annual residential to PGL. The children were absolutely amazing and a real credit to Boundary. They worked so well as a group and took part in a range of activities, showing resilience and determination. We hope the children had a great time - they have made memories that will last a lifetime!!

During P.E this week Fern class enjoyed learning a dance routine. We worked together to ensure we knew the choreography and that we were dancing in unison. This tested our team work skills as well as being a fun workout!

This week we began our new PE topic Outdoor and Adventurous Activities. Mr Willets, our sports coach, set up a number of team work activities. But there was a twist... we had to do the activities blindfolded! This meant we had to use our speaking and listening skills and put our trust in our peers to guide us through the activities. We had a great time and learnt so much!

What a great first day back we have all had! Our WOW this afternoon was all based around teamwork - we discussed as classes the importance this year of working together and the characteristics we need to demonstrate in order to achieve our goals. Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Jones planned a series of orienteering courses for us to work through as teams; the aim was to show our teachers just how well we can work together and communicate. It was tricky at times but most of us managed to finish the 8 courses through good teamwork and collaboration.

The children thoroughly enjoed taking part in Sports Day. They demonstrate excellent sportmanship by supporting the other children in their house teams. The children tried their hardest when competing in the different races and showed resilence and determination. We are very proud of you all.

We had a fantastic sports week and we were very lucky that the sun was shining for us. We made our teachers proud with vast amount of characteristics we displayed this week! We worked brilliantly in teams yet. We managed to be competitive yet supportive of each other and a good time was had all around.

Lots of children have been chosen this week by the Royal Ballet Teachers and invited to participate in a club from September which will give them Dance opportunities with the Royal Ballet School. We have been practising galloping, balancing, moving to the music and coping the different stretches that the teachers have shown us. It has been a fabulous opportunity for Year 3 and we know the next Year 3 class will really enjoy taking part in September!

Along with the rest of Boundary this week we have taken part in and enjoyed sports week!
We had two brilliant afternoons filled with balloon races, speed bounce, hurdles and egg and spoon races.
We all had lots of fun, showing lots of our Boundary characeristics throughout the week and supporting our friends and team mates.
We enjoyed all these activities in the lovely sunshine and contributed to our Road to Tokyo goals with each physical activity we completed.

This week the children have took part in various sports day activities to earn points for their house teams. A favourite of theirs was completing the speed bounce and balloon races in their teams.

For Sports Day this year Nursery took part in some fun balloon games. We practised skills included passing, throwing and catching and also developed our team work skills! We had so much fun and there were balloons flying everywhere!

It was the last of our activities! Who will win? Your guess is as good as ours! We took part in more team games: over and under, side to side, elbow passing and speed bouncing. There wasn't a particular team who won all of the games so this means it must be tight between the winners! We can't wait to find out which team takes the Number 1 spot! Fingers crossed it's your team...

What a brilliant Sports Day Year 6 have had! We competed in lots of different events:
- Relay race
- Team work races
- Shot put
- Javelin
- Hurdles
- Sprint
As well as encouraging our team mates, we also cheered our entire year group on! We showed many characteristics during our afternoon: resilience, team work, tolerance, paitence, kindness, confidence, self-control, respect, fair and supportive. We worked hard in our teams (Chepstow, Bathurst, Elston and Rodwell). We wonder who'll win! Stay tuned...
