African Art

26th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson
This half term in Year 2, the children are exploring the rich, vibrant colours and patterns associated with African Art. They will study art throughout native tribes and make and decorate masks and water jars as well as recreate the beautiful African landscapes at sunset.
This week, we are paying close attention to the Maasai culture and their amazing homemade jewellery. Look how intricate  our pattern making is as we build our own collection of African headbands, bracelets and necklaces.

Anti Bullying Week 2020

20th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

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.

Years 2, 3 and 4 also participated in an online workshop offered by staff at the OpenZone. The children learned what cyber-bullying is, when it occurs, how to reduce their risk of being bullied online and how to support others who have been or are being subjected to cyber-bullying.

“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:

World Science Day 2020

10th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

On Tuesday 10th November we celebrated World Science Day at West Boldon! Every class looked at a famous scientist linked to their topic.

Year 1 looked at the scientist James Dewar (inventor of the flask) as well as insulation.

Their experiment was to put Vaseline on one of their fingers and dip one finger with Vaseline and one finger without into cold water and describe the different feelings. We found that the finger without Vaseline felt cold in the water whereas the one with felt warmer and a bit different. We talked about the meaning of insulation, looked at James’ invention, described these feelings in our books and draw pictures of what the experiment looked like. They really enjoyed it.
Year 2 celebrated World Science Day with a tribute to a very famous, Victorian scientist.
Florence, as a child, followed her determination to become a nurse. She trained other nurses to go to the Crimean war and make the hospital clean, and care for wounded soldiers.
Florence worked long hours and would tend to the injured soldiers at night holding her lamp. She became known as The Lady with the Lamp. Florence wrote books on Nursing and  is also credited for helping to popularise the pie chart.
Her revolutionary nursing earned her an award from Queen Victoria and her legacy serves to show much of what we now know about clean, organised hospital conditions today and is thanks to her hard work and research.
Florence Nightingale changed nursing forever. She is the real hero of Victorian science!

Year 3 looked at palaeontologist Mary Anning and her work on fossils.

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 4 looked at Micheal Faraday today for their Science Day project.

They quizzed and found out about some famous scientists and inventors. Then they completed a treasure hunt fact finding mission to answer questions about Faraday’s life and inventions. The children worked in pairs to move around the 2 classrooms looking for the answers and then presented it beautifully.

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!

Year 2 Autumn 2 Focus Text

5th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

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.

Here is a video of author Michael Morpurgo telling the story:

What can we learn from visiting a Synagogue?

27th October 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

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.

27th October 2020Miss K. Wilkinson
