Thurston 2024 – Day 3

23rd September 2024Fiona Goodwin
‍♂️ What an adventure! Our incredible Year 5 and 6 students from West Boldon have been exploring the stunning Lake District. They’ve taken on the challenge of canoeing across beautiful lakes and even ventured deep into the caves! ️
From paddling in crystal-clear waters to discovering hidden caverns underground, their courage and teamwork have been inspiring to see. We’re so proud of their adventurous spirit and how they supported each other every step of the way.
Here’s to more unforgettable outdoor experiences and memories that will last a lifetime!

Thurston 2024

23rd September 2024Fiona Goodwin

It was an exciting day for many of our year 5/6s as they headed off to Thurston in the Lake District. They had a nice drive over and stopped en route for some lunch. They have just arrived now safe and sound; they are busy unpacking and getting allocated their dorms.

First Day Back!

4th September 2024Fiona Goodwin

What an amazing first day back we’ve had! It was so nice to see the school full of children again. They were all so excited to see each other and get into their new classes. They all looked so smart too. We are going to have a fab year!

 

Welcome Back!!

4th September 2024Fiona Goodwin

Welcome back!! We hope you’ve enjoyed a relaxing summer break. We’re excited to welcome you back for another amazing year, full of learning and opportunities for everyone to dive into!

We are looking for everyone to achieve their best this year and we are here to support all the children to achieve that. This doesn’t always mean in purely academic ways, it may be about becoming the best gymnast you can become, the most creative artist or just becoming the best friend to someone.

We understand that some of you might be feeling a bit nervous about coming back (both children and parents) – that’s totally normal and okay. 6 weeks is a long time to be off but as a school community we are all here to help and support. Just ask.

To our parents and carers, you are a crucial part of our school, our staff couldn’t do what they do without you, thank you so much.

We are going to have a fab year.

 

Getting ready for the new academic year

14th August 2024Fiona Goodwin

Whilst the school is closed for the summer holidays there’s still lots of activity at West Boldon Primary getting it ready for the new academic year. We’re sanding the Hall floor back to its original colour, getting new flooring in many of the classrooms and getting new fixed displays up. It will look fab for the children when they return.

Year 6 Leavers 2024

14th August 2024Fiona Goodwin

Our school gives the year sixes a clap of honour each year to celebrate all their hard work over the last 7 years. It’s a rite of passage. Today was no different and is something that these children will remember for the rest of their lives. Westies for life. ❤️

Rugby Awards Presentation – 18th July 2024

19th July 2024Fiona Goodwin

John, a kind and dedicated coach from Westoe Rugby Club, visited our school on Wednesday morning to present trophies and medals to our children. John regularly volunteers his time to coach our pupils at West Boldon Primary School, providing expert tutelage under his skillful direction. His efforts have been instrumental, with some of our former pupils going on to represent Westoe Rugby Club thanks to his keen eye for talent.

John’s generosity extends beyond the rugby field. If you ever see him in Asda or Tesco raising money for Cancer charities, please consider donating any of your loose change to the charities that mean so much to him. Our children are truly fortunate to benefit from John’s commitment and kindness.

Rocksteady Concert & Staff vs Y6 Rounders!

19th July 2024Fiona Goodwin

What a busy day! We started off with out first ever Rocksteady concert, this was fantastic and to think that these children have only been playing since Easter! We then had a staff BBQ at lunchtime followed by the annual staff vs Year 6 rounders match. This is always keenly contested and today was no different! For once the staff actually achieved a deserved victory.
