‘TO GIVE, TO HELP, TO BE KIND AND CREATE HAPPINESS’
The Giving Project is in full swing in school this week! Here are some updates:
We’ve had another delivery of beautiful cakes to the local food bank.
Year 2 have painted Christmas tree decorations to give to a friend, and Year 3’s pom pom snowmen are coming along a treat!
Also, some children were kindly helping to decorate our Christmas tree in the school hall. Here are some Reception children hanging their baubles on the tree.
Today in R.E. Class 7 created their very own Christian Advent calendars. In R.E. lessons this half term we have been working towards answering the question: ‘How and why is Advent important to Christians?’
We discussed the meaning of Advent, and recapped the candles on the Advent wreath. Then the children created their own Advent Calendars for each week of Advent. Inside each door, they drew a picture of something related to Christmas and Christmastime. The end results are beautiful!
Today two of our school governors attended their last meetings at West Boldon Primary School.
Councillor Alison Strike and Councillor Joanne Bell in their roles of chair and vice chair have given over 50 years between them to our fabulous school and we very much appreciate them both. Over the years they have both constantly strived to ensure that your children get the best education we can provide. They will both be a big miss but we know they will always hold a special place in their hearts for our school.
A message from Joanne:
“After more than 30 years on the Governing board at the school I have left today. I would like to say a huge thank you to all the wonderful staff and fantastic children for the beautiful flowers and card I received. It really meant a lot to me and was a big surprise.
I’d like to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Best Wishes for the future
Cllr Joanne Bell”
Year 6 had a fantastic couple of days with Outward Bound! We took part in the following activities:
During our adventure days we improved our team building skills, increased our resilience and determination, boosted our confidence and self-belief, improved our understanding and dealing with challenge and risk and learned new life skills.
A terrific time was had by all!

Now our Giving Project is getting underway, here are some updates:
The Year 5 pupils have made some cakes for the local food bank. They attached a lovely note so the recipients knew who they were from.
Here the children are tasting the cakes to make sure they are good enough!
The children enjoyed walking over to the Community Centre to hand deliver their cakes.
Reception children are making some beautiful Christmas cards for each resident of The Meadows Care Home.
Year 6 children are enjoying decorating a rainbow for the local church.
Year 3 children are currently making pom pom snowmen to give to their friends at Christmas.
Weʼre also raising £250 to help fund ‘Christmas cheer’ parcels for the elderly residents of West Boldon.

This week reception took park in a drumming workshop with Mr Bird. They played different instruments and created a beat together. We had lots of fun!
Today, Year 3 made their very own ‘marvellous medicines’!
The children followed a set of instructions to make their very own concoctions. They used the ingredients water, mouthwash, glitter, sweets and food colouring, and mixed it all up before putting them in their own little jars.
