As part of Health Week, our class explored the inspiring journey of an England Lioness, learning about her achievements both on and off the pitch. We discovered how her dedication, resilience, and healthy lifestyle contributed to her success in women's football. Through this lesson, we gained a deeper understanding of the importance of physical and mental wellbeing in reaching personal goals. The session also highlighted the value of teamwork, perseverance, and having strong role models in sport, encouraging us to lead active, healthy lives ourselves.

A group of our School Council representatives from Boundary Primary School joined children from Stanley Primary School at the Blackpool School Council Symposium, hosted by St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School.
It started with some fun icebreaker games, helping everyone get to know each other and work together as a team.
Our pupils proudly presented to the group, sharing:
- What they have been working on recently
- What issues are important to the children in our school
- Topics they were keen to discuss
It was a fantastic opportunity for our children to build confidence, share ideas and collaborate with peers from other local schools.
Well done, everyone!

The children and staff in Year 5 were excited to kick off Health Week with our first big event—inflatable football! It was a fantastic way to get everyone moving and having fun right from the start. The energy was high, and the children threw themselves into the challenge (sometimes quite literally!). For those who preferred something a bit different, archery offered a great alternative, and it was lovely to see how focused and engaged they were. Overall, it was a brilliant start to the week, and we’re looking forward to what’s next!

We them decided to keep the Microbits for Always Time and programmed them to display our names, play rock, paper scissors and some of us were even able to programmed them to display different emojis.
