This morning Class 5 and Class 7 enjoyed a trip to St Nicholas’ Church. They learned about how Christians celebrate Christmas, and asked Rev. Paul some questions relating to the church itself.
All of the children were so impeccably behaved and are a real credit to our school!

Look at these fabulous information posters to show how much the children know about how useful the internet is in day to day life.
This week to recognise Anti-Bullying Week at West Boldon we had an Odd Socks Day!
It was a great way to celebrate what makes us all different and to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! Here are some colourful socks worn by our Year 2 children.
“It taught me to be kind online” – Kaiden
“It taught me that playing games that are too old for me because I will be playing with adults and might be more at risk of cyber-bullying” – Codey
“If I was cyber-bullied it would make me feel sad” – Megan
“I can show people respect online by understanding they have different ideas” – Bubacarr
Further up the school in Year 6, Class 12 took part in activities to understand Anti-Bullying Week 2020. They had great discussions about bullying, the victim and perpetrator and empathy. Here is some of their fantastic work:
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!
As we run up to Christmas time, Year 2 will be reading the festive story ‘Coming Home’ by Michael Morpurgo.
It is an exciting adventure story about a brave little robin’s long journey home battling through storms, oceans and terrifying hawk attacks.
During the half term we will be writing non chronological reports about robins, diary writing from different characters perspectives and retelling scenes using exciting verbs. In line with Talk for Writing, we will be retelling the story using actions and phrases before innovating the story and changing different elements to create our own narrative.

Year 2 have been finding out about why a Synagogue is a special place for Jews. They learnt about different features found in this place of worship and were able to write sentences to describe how these features were used.
We also found out about Jewish foods eaten during festivals celebrated at the Synagogue.
Children in Year 2 have been looking at Pollution in our world and how it can affect our local community. They created some posters to tell other children in our school about Pollution.
