Year 6 have been discovering The Vikings this half term. For our DT project we are designing, planning, making and evaluating Viking Long Ships.
On the run up to Christmas, Year 6 have been delving deep into the Birth of Jesus accounts in the gospels. We discovered that only two of the gospels, Matthew and Luke, had nativity accounts and both held a different perceptive.
Year 6 had a fantastic Christmas party! We played fun party games and listened to our favourite songs along with some festive favourites. Party food and sweets were flowing. Our teachers though we all looked smashing. Merry Christmas everyone!
In French, Year 6 have been learning about colours, numbers, months or the year and our family.
Reception thoroughly enjoyed our pyjama movie day on Wednesday this week!
After helping to make our movie snacks we settled down to watch the Grinch, we enjoyed our snacks and hot chocolate and snuggled with our friends under the cosy blankets.
The children (and staff) have enjoyed a lovely festive day!
‘TO GIVE, TO HELP, TO BE KIND AND CREATE HAPPINESS’
This week Chris the Midday Supervisor has been helping the Year 4 children to make their own tree decorations. Each one has a little note inside which they will give to their friends. Here they are adding them to the Christmas tree.
We are so lucky to have such wonderful and generous midday supervisors who are volunteering their time to the project!
Christmas has come to West Boldon Primary School this week and our beautiful Christmas tree is ready to bring Christmas joy to everyone who walks by!
In PSHCE, Year 1 have been learning about relationships and friendships. After exploring what we think a good friend is and deciding how we think we can be good friends, we wrote our very own recipe for a good friend. It is lovely!
In geography, Year 1 have been exploring the question ‘why can’t penguins live near the equator?’.
We have investigated the features of hot and cold places and designed our own animals that are especially suited to living in either a hot or a cold place.
In Art, Year 1 have been looking at colours, particularly hot and cold colours.
We have created a colour wheel and labeled which colours are ‘hot’ and which are ‘cold’.
We have also made some handprints with paint that show we understand how we can mix primary colours together to make new secondary colours, purple, green and orange!
