We were all very excited for our new trim trail to open! This week we have been practising how to use each section of the trim trail, ensuring we keep ourselves and others safe. We showed lots of determination to try and get as far round the sections as we could!

We were so excited to find a frog in our garden a few days ago! We got it safely back to the pond area only to find it had returned a few days later - he must like us! With the children so excited, we took the opportunity to learn about the life cycle of a frog. We carefully collect some frogspawn from the pond and the children are fasinated watching all the little changes that take place. Fingers crossed we will get to see some tadpoles emerging from the frogspawn soon!

In PSHE, we looked at how each one of us are different. We then looked at how we need to value and respect the differences between us all. We looked at some topic cards and had a class discussion about how we would act in different situations and how people would be feeling. We used our oracy skills to agree, build and challenge. The children looked at instigating the conversation and taking ownership of them moving the conversation on between themselves.

Nursery made a superb effort for World Book Day! We had Willy Wonka, but he forgot to bring his chocolate, Dorothy who had lost her way from the yellow brick road and Zog who was taking a break from his dragon training! We had a wonderful day sharing our favourite stoires, drawing book characters and making book marks.

This half term we have been learning about Amy Johnson in History. We began by learning about who Amy Johnson was and how she ended up flying solo to Australia! We retold the story of Amy's life and picked out lots of qualities that Amy showed throughout her life. We also went on to look at why flying to Australia was so difficult for Amy and the hazards that she faced! Finally, we turned into detectives to solve the mystery of what happened to Amy. We looked at different sources of information, before using this information to make our own decision to solve the mystery!
Year 1 The Disgusting Sandwich!
Date: 11th Mar 2025 @ 4:23pm
This week we have started to read the story 'The Disgusting Sandwich.' In today's lesson we learnt how to follow instructions to achieve an outcome - making our own disgusting sandwiches! Firstly, we gave instructions to Miss Kay, telling her how to make a disgusting sandwich using different ingredients. We learnt that we need to be clear and specific when giving instructions to enable a final goal to be reached successfully. We then worked with a partner, developing our verbal instructions further, to give them a set of instructions to make a sandwich. We worked hard to give clear and precise instructions!

We went on a Pilgrimage! Today we discussed journeys and why some religions, especially Christianity, consider the act of pilgrimage as a key part of learning more about their faith.
We began by looking at journey’s we have been on and how we prepare for them and we packed a suitcase in preparation! Next, some of us undertook a real pilgrimage to learn more about holy sites in the Christian religion while others looked closely at why these sites are important.
Finally, some groups used Choose It to consolidate their new learning, identifying the correct sites of pilgrimage while others shared what we had learnt in a class collaborative discussion.

Year 3- Stop motion animation!
Date: 11th Mar 2025 @ 1:12pm
In this lesson, Year 3 looked at learning how to use the computers to create stop motion animation. Last week we created flipbooks looking at changing one thing per frame to make a smooth animation. This week we applied this to the animation software and used a white board to create simple animations using a stickman.

Today, Year Two enjoyed a fantastic visit to the zoo. We looked at the different animals enclosures for what things they have to meet their needs of survival as well as exploring their habitats for adaptations to help them. We were lucky enough to see some baby animals including the Orangutans and looked at how they differed from their adult. We also loved watching the sea lion show and watching all of their amazing tricks. We had a fabulous time!

Today, we had the pleasure of Noor Fatima bringing in her prayer mat and prayer beads to show the class. It was such a lovely addition to our lessons! We have been learning all about Islam, and Noor was eager to share her faith with her classmates. She explained the significance of each item, and it really opened up an important discussion about different cultural practices.
Not only that, but she also crafted a model of the Kaaba, the cubed structure in Mecca that holds great significance for Muslims. It was impressive to see her creativity and effort! The children were thoroughly engaged and curious, asking questions and sharing their thoughts.
What a wonderful experience for her to share her beliefs and values with everyone! It truly enriched our understanding and appreciation of different cultures and religions. Thank you, Noor Fatima, for such a meaningful contribution!

This week, we looked at what happens to sounds the further away they get. We used the school hall and measured (using a sound meter) the sound (in decibels) of four different sources. We used a whistle, a drum, a whispered sentence and crumpling paper. Using a trundle wheel, we measured 5m, 10m, 15m and 18m. We found that the further away the sound got, the more quiet it became. This is because the sound energy starts to run out - this is called dissipation.

On World Book Day the whole school took part in a giant 'Book Swap' in order to recycle books.
Lots of children had books in good condition that they had read so they swapped them for another book they had not read before.
" I bought in Winnie the Witch- I have read it loads of times... I have chosen Minecraft! I can't wait to read it at home- it's my favourite!" Harry in Reception.

This week sees the launch of Waste Week but what is waste? Waste is something that someone doesn’t’ need or want anymore.
Here at Boundary we are trying reduce the amount of food left on our plate at lunchtime. Every year, we waste approximately the equivalent in weight to that of an elephant!
Also, the Eco warriors will be ensuring that everyone in school recycles all the paper, card and cardboard by placing it in the brown recycling bags and not the bins where it will be sent to landfill!
Don’t forget we also recycle school uniform and batteries.

This week the children in Reception have been making pancakes. We talked about the tradition of pancake day how some people decide to give something up, during the Christain period of Lent. The children then enjoyed following a recipe to make and then eat their own pancakes. When we returned to the classroom we sequenced the pictures correctly and wrote our own insgtructions.
"You have to mix the eggs, milk and flour with a whisk" Harley
"Cook it in a frying pan" Dina
"The pancakes were yummy. I liked the chocolate the best" Kevin.

Yesterday, we enjoyed our second Forest school session. We began by looking around the area for blackthorn trees so we knew where to be careful before we used the equipment to build some dens. Some of us helped clear out the pond area and helped to dig some of it out to try and make it deeper so the frogs will have a better habitat.

This week pupils in year 5 were investigating the force of friction. Using force metres, pupils measured the force rquired to move a 500g load up an inclined ramp made from different materials. We discussed how to make it a fair test by keeping certain variables the same: E.g. the people conducting the test, the weight of the load, the incline of the ramp and even the force of gravity! Pupils then discussed their findings and made conclusions about the smoothness of a material and the amount of friction that it creates.
