Year 3’s Maths Teamwork Challenge!

21st July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Today the Year 3 children completed a ‘100 numbers to get students talking’ maths challenge.

The children worked in groups of 3 with a 3 minute timer. They each had a coloured pencil and had to take it turns to find and circle their number and reach the highest possible number as a group.

They soon realised after the first round that there were patterns, but it also prompted maths discussion and team work. Each time the children were confident at beating their previous scores.

This challenge promoted communication, participation, planning, resilience and support which are key values at West Boldon.

Westoe Rugby Club Trophy Presentation Celebration

21st July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

The children were treated to a visit from Westoe RFC Coach, John, this week, when he returned to school to present the children with their trophies from his rugby sessions this year.

All children from Years 2-6 took part in rugby as part of their PE lessons this year, and over the year John had been looking for 2 children in each year group who impressed him by working hard, showing resilience, or excelling in the sport.

Here are some photos from our wonderful rugby presentation celebration assembly!

Eco-Warriors update 21st July 2022

21st July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Some of our eco-warriors celebrated their 1st year as part of our eco-commmittee by harvesting the peas we planted, giving the Secret Garden a final tidy and toasting some yummy marshmallows.

These children have done a super job this year, introducing many new initiatives to help us become a more eco-friendly school!

Block Printing in Year 1

17th July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

What a fabulous afternoon Class 4 had on Friday!

Following Thursday’s planning and pattern making lesson, the children used their self designed tiles to explore block printing.

The children were amazed at the effects and were really interested in playing with colour and overlaying just like the artist Andy Warhol who we have talked about.

Take a look at their amazing creations!

Year 1’s afternoon in the Secret Garden

14th July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 1 had a wonderful afternoon crafting and toasting marshmallows in The Secret Garden.

These children have helped staff to develop this wonderful space over the past two years and now they can enjoy it for years to come at our school.

Releasing the butterflies!

Class 4 took a trip down to the Secret Garden today to release our butterflies.

Comparing angles

8th July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

This week, Year 3 have been learning about angles. They know that an angle is where two straight lines meet at a point.

Yesterday, they began looking at the sizes of different angles. They used right angle finders in pairs to measure the size of the different angles on their tables in masking tape, then they labelled each angle with their mathematical name- acute angles being smaller than a right angle, and obtuse angles being greater than a right angle.

Scottish Reel Dancing

7th July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

In Year 4, our current topic is “Picture our Planet,” where we are learning about contrasting localities around the world.

First, we learnt all about Brazil in terms of its location in the world, climate, physical and human features and traditions.

We are now learning about Scotland and today we learnt a traditional Scottish reel dance. The children all worked so hard learning the steps and then performing for Mrs Garr.

Year 4/5 Science Club

7th July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Some of the Science club have had a really exciting week looking at fire starting. They now understand the fire triangle (heat, fuel and oxygen) and how if you take one away the fire will go out.

The children practiced using a flint and steel and realised the friction caused a spark (heat) to light the cotton pad. After many goes we all had the hang of it and were rewarded with a campfire to toast marshmallows.

Rescuing endangered animals!

6th July 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Class 3 were enlisted to rescue some endangered koala bears stuck up the trees, as part of our Steve Backshall inspired Commando Joe mission. We have been learning about the term ‘endangered’ so knew we needed to think carefully about how best to solve this problem.

As always they worked well as a team, demonstrating great communication skills, resilience and perseverance.
