Year 3 enjoyed a calming yet energetic yoga session this week, focusing on strength poses to build balance, control and confidence. The children practised a range of positions including downward dog, high plank, side support plank, high lunge, boat, bridge, chair and back support. Everyone showed great determination as they held each pose with growing strength and focus.
To finish, the children worked in pairs for a fun communication challenge: one partner described a pose using clear instructions while the other tried to recreate it. This led to lots of concentration, teamwork and giggles. A brilliant session full of movement, mindfulness and cooperation!

The Christmas spirit is in full swing at school today as the children arrived bursting with excitement in their bright and cheerful Christmas jumpers. Sparkles, reindeer, and festive colours filled the classrooms, bringing a wonderful sense of warmth and celebration. To make the morning even more magical, the children headed out to the playground for some lively Christmas Zumba with Mrs Darwen. Laughter, music, and dance moves filled the air as everyone joined in the festive fun. It was a joyful start to the season and a lovely reminder of the happiness and togetherness that Christmas brings to our school community.

Cinderella, the pantomime came to Boundary. Some of our Acorns students enjoyed watching the performance in the hall, and even enjoyed shouting out!
Acorns had the pleasure of welcoming Cinderella and Buttons to class. We got to see some interactions between the performers and then engage with some of their masks and props. We had lots of fun exploring the props and even gave our own starring performance, signing 'twinkle, twinkle' whilst engaging with the magic wand.

Acorns enjoyed sharing their Christmas jumpers and noticing different Christmas images on their peers Jumpers. We all looked so smart.
Some of Acorns enjoyed trying the Christmas dinner for lunch and we all celebrated with a Christmas cracker and tried our Christmas hats on.
To get into the Christmas spirit, we were excited to take a trip to the grotto and explore a magical place. We loved seeing the sparkling lights an sitting in Santa's chair. We also found an elf or two!!
Some of us finished off our day with a lovely Christmas disco and pass the parcel.
What a great day.

🕵️♂️ Our Crime Story Writing Adventure
Over the past couple of weeks, our class has been diving into the world of crime stories. We started by reading lots of different examples—from mysterious robberies to daring escapes—and collected exciting ideas and vocabulary to use in our own writing.
Armed with inspiration, we set out to create our very own crime tales. Some of us imagined robberies in grand mansions, while others wrote about missing laptops or stolen artefacts. We hope you enjoy reading through some of our work below—see if you can spot the clues and solve the mysteries yourself!

Year 5 and 6 had a magical afternoon watching the pantomime Cinderella! From the moment the 'curtain rose', the children were full of excitement—laughing, cheering, and joining in with all the pantomime fun. They loved the dazzling costumes, the fairy godmother’s magic, and of course shouting “He’s behind you!” throughout the show.
It was a joyful day filled with laughter, wonder, and festive spirit—one the children will remember for a long time!

Year 5 - What a balancing act!

This half-term we have been developing our gymnastic skills. This week, we have worked in pairs and larger groups to demonstrate our core strength, balance and team work abilities. As you can see from the photos, some of our pupils challenged themselves and, with the support of teachers and our Sports Coach, worked in larger groups to create a variety of shapes.

Year 5 have been learning about the Christmas Truce during World War I. We explored a diary entry written by a soldier and discussed the events and emotions described. As part of our work, we focused on developing our vocabulary, looking closely at words such as fleeting, truce, and sorrow to deepen our understanding. We also spent time imagining what life might have been like for soldiers spending Christmas on the front line—considering the harsh conditions, the mixed feelings they experienced, and the significance of the brief moments of peace and humanity during the war.

In Maths, Year 5 have been learning how to compare fractions with both the same and different denominators. The children have learned that when the denominators are the same, the fractions can be compared easily. However, when the denominators are different, we need to analyse the fractions more carefully. Sometimes we use our knowledge of equivalent fractions to help, and other times we reason about the size of the fractions. For example, 4/6 is greater than one half, so it must be larger than 2/9. We then looked at how we would order and compare fractions when the numerators are the same!

Year 5 - PSHE - Personal Hygiene
Date: 5th Dec 2025 @ 2:04pm
In our Year 5 practical lesson on personal hygiene, we explored the many ways we can keep ourselves clean and healthy. We began by creating a colourful spider diagram to organise ideas such as handwashing, brushing our teeth, showering regularly, and wearing clean clothes. Then, in small groups, we acted out different hygiene habits without speaking, while the rest of the class tried to guess what we were demonstrating. It was a fun, active way to understand why looking after ourselves is important for our own wellbeing and for the people around us.

We have been reading the story The Gingerbreadman.
It is one of our favourite stories and everyone loves joining in saying "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the Gingerbreadman!".
Everyone collaged and painted a Gingerbreadman, wrote a list of the characters from the story and retold the story at the story telling table.
"Everyone chased the Gingerbreadman" Raya
"They couldn't catch him" Ibrahim
"He was a very fast Gingerbreadman" Harrison- Bleu
"The fox was sneaky- he tricked him and ate him all up!" Bonnie

It has been a very exciting week in Reception- Christmas has arrived!
All the children have been enjoying dressing up in the home corner as Elves and reindeers. They sang songs, made "hot chocolate" and "Christmas dinner" and wrote Christmas lists to Santa. They also helped each other put their costumes on too.
