We do things differently at West Boldon!

12th February 2025Fiona Goodwin

Here at West Boldon Primary, we love to think outside the box – and after February half-term, we’re proving it with the launch of our brand-new Monday Night Darts Club for KS2 children!

If your child fancies themselves as the next Luke Littler or Eric Bristow, this is their chance to sharpen their skills and have some fun.

Interested? Ask your child to request a letter from Mr. McCormack to get signed up. Let’s hit the bullseye together!

Shrek the Musical at Boldon School

12th February 2025Fiona Goodwin

What an absolutely amazing performance by the talented senior school students! Our Year 5 children were captivated from start to finish (as were the staff!)

It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces on stag, including several of last year’s Year 6 pupils and past students, shining with confidence and talent!

A huge well done to our Year 5 children, who were impeccably behaved throughout the afternoon and represented West Boldon Primary with pride!

Thank you to Boldon School for inviting us – what a fantastic experience!

What a fantastic day at West Boldon Primary!

We kicked things off with our Star of the Week assembly, celebrating the amazing achievements of our pupils. A big congratulations to our Golden Coin winner too!

We also welcomed six parents for our weekly Look and Lunch, where they enjoyed a full tour of the school before tucking in to a delicious meal prepared by Mandy and her incredible team.

Panathalon Challenge

5th February 2025Fiona Goodwin

In January, several children took part in a multi skills sports tournament for children of all abilities. The children took part in many awesome activities from bowling, to basketball, target throwing, to curling. As we went round the activities we picked up points for attitude, skill and resilience.

Our children were amazing and represented the school with brilliant behaviour, sportsmanship and attitude to having a go!

All their hard work paid off and we came fourth out of 10 teams and earned a medal and certificate each! Well done Team West Boldon

Year 4 STEM Project

Our Year 4 children are excited to be selected for a STEM/careers project with the local business, The Simpson Group! They will be collaborating to design a product display for greeting cards.

A Special Visit from the Royal Navy

5th February 2025Fiona Goodwin

Yesterday, our Year 5 and 6 children had an exciting visit from the members of the Royal Navy! They learned all about the incredible work the Navy does to protect our country and help others around the world.

During an engaging presentation, the children asked some fantastic questions including;

  • How does the Royal Navy help during natural disasters?
  • What training do you need to join the Navy?

After the talk, the children got hands-on in workshops, working as a team to create and test their own flares – designed to signal for help in an emergency.

The session was truly educational and inspiring, showing the children the importance of teamwork, resilience and problem-solving – just like in the Royal Navy!

Celebrating Chinese New Year

Aurora Borealis Art in Year 1/2

5th February 2025Fiona Goodwin

Class 6 have been diving into the wonders of the Arctic, and this week, we’ve been mesmerised by the beauty of the Aurora Borealis!

In our Art lessons, we’ve been experimenting with pastels and chalks, learning how to smudge and blend colours to recreate the breathtaking Northern Lights. Using different techniques, we’ve captured the swirling, glowing skies that makes this natural phenomenon so magical.

It’s been a fantastic way to combine our Geography and Art skills, and we can’t wait to display our stunning creations!

A busy and fun week in ARC 1!

5th February 2025Fiona Goodwin

Our outdoor classroom was a hit! For Active Maths, we played ‘Champion’ to practice 1 more and 1 less, built towers and wrote numbers to show our learning.

We also found capital letters in sentences, painted patterns, explored the Arctic, and enjoyed sensory play.

So much learning, laughter, and creativity this week – well done ARC 1!
