Today the children have all talked about Remembrance Day and what the poppy represents. Some of the children in Year 1/2 and Year 4 painted poppies on stones and Mrs Askwith took them to the cenotaph at Jarrow Cemetery.
The children also enjoyed making their own poppies to wear during the two minutes silence today.
On Tuesday 10th November we celebrated World Science Day at West Boldon! Every class looked at a famous scientist linked to their topic.
They created a fossil jar whereby jelly represented the soil and sweets represented the animal remains. Each day this week they will add a new layer of jelly to the jar representing how soil layers occur over time. They talked about how these fossils form and also made a zigzag book!
Year 6 looked at Charles Darwin to link to their topic on Evolution. They all created a factfile about him explaining why he is so important in his field.
What wonderful scientists we have at West Boldon!
This week our whole school began voting for our School Council representatives. Children put themselves forward for the role because they wanted to represent their class and their year group bubble in the big decisions relating to life in our school.
Children thought carefully about who to vote, ensuring they were voting for someone who would be reliable, approachable and sensible in their role. We even use authentic ballot papers and ballot boxes!
The winners for each year group bubble will be revealed in Monday’s assembly.
Please see the attached letter below for important dates in November and December.

Mr McCormack’s class had a great morning around our school fire pit area being transported back to the Stone Age to try and recreate what it must have felt like.
They tasted similar food and imagined what it would be like back then. This was then used in a writing lesson where children wrote their own Stone Age setting description.
As they had the fire going they then got to have some very un-Stone age marshmallows melted over the fire too! 🔥
As part of our R.E. lessons in Year 3 this week we have been thinking about Hinduism. We discussed the ritual of puja and how Hindus worship their gods by giving offerings, chanting and meditating. We then had a go of meditating ourselves using a guided meditation video from ‘Peace Out’.
The children enjoyed this so much they wanted to complete 2 more over the course of the week!
This week Year 4 took part in a live Scratch workshop with The Word through Google Meet.
Mrs Chippendale, Mr Robert and Mrs Hayward taught a live lesson on how to draw bonfires and fireworks and then code them to move and sound like the real thing.
The end result from all children was fantastic!
Year 5 have been learning a dance routine over the course of the last half term. They have all worked very hard and have had lots of fun too. Here is their finished routine.
