Date: 19th May 2023 @ 12:02pm

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:

"Litter, litter goes in the bin,
To throw it on the ground is a really big sin.
The earth is home to lots of creatures and bugs, they don't come in our home and throw litter on rugs.
Dont sin it, bin it! working together we can win it."

Ella's class were also given their own copy of "The Creature Choir" by David Walliams. Well done to everyone who took part!

Year 2 Forest School Fun Part 2

Date: 4th May 2023 @ 7:58am

Last week in Forest School, we learnt all about the Elder tree. We begun the lesson by creating a shelter using a parachute to protect us from the wind and after we came out we went on a hunt to find the only Elder tree in our Forest School area. We then used parts of Elder to use a hack saw to make a small piece and pushed the middle out so we could thread some string through to create necklaces or bracelets. We had so much fun and enjoyed getting creative with the Elder. Those that decided they didn't want to make something had plenty of fun den building and planting some seeds. 

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 2's Summer Forest School Fun

Date: 20th Apr 2023 @ 2:57pm

Today, Year Two enjoyed the first of their final three forest school sessions whilst they are in Year 2. Today we began the session by checking on the progress of the tadpoles and thought about where in their life cycle they are at. Then, Jenna and Michelle had set up lots of different dandelion activities for us to do. We could choose from making dandelion patterns on a piece of fabric by bashing rocks onto the dandelions and leaves to leave marks on the fabric, we could make dandelion pom-poms using wool as well as washing dandelions ready for us to make dandelion tea. At the end of the session, we tried the dandelion tea we had made, some of us enjoyed it whilst others thought it tasted disgusting. We are looking forward to continuing our forest school fun next week.
