Lunchtimes at West Boldon Primary have never been more exciting thanks to OPAL play! We’ve seen such incredible creativity, teamwork, and joy as the children dive into activities that bring learning and play together.

One of the most popular areas has been the den-building zone, where students can gather materials, share ideas and work together to create their own little hideaways. From imaginative forts to cozy spaces, it’s wonderful to watch friendships deepen and see how proud they are of what they’ve built.

These moments not only make lunchtimes fun but also support important skills like problem solving, cooperation and resilience. A big thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible – seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter from our playground is priceless!
