KS2 children had a fantastic experience of an African dance workshop on Tuesday. It was a fun, engaging and memorable essential learning experience that allowed the children to have a broad understanding of cultural diversity.
The workshops were delivered by the fantastic Tunde Olasupo, who taught them some of the different traditional African dance moves native to this wonderfully vibrant and diverse culture.
On October 21st pupils were selected by Mr Houmark and John from Westoe RFC to attend the annual Boldon School rugby festival.
Games were played in a groups system with the Year 5’s taking on East Boldon, Hedworthfield and Forest View. They won all three to top the group.
It was fantastic to see the skills taught in Friday PE sessions pay off in proper tag games.
During October the Year 5/6 Football side got back up and running. They’ve played three matches in the Newton League held at Boldon School. Coached this year by Mr Houmark and Miss Fraser.
A squad of 14 children were selected to attend the training group which has recently finished for the winter but will return in February time.
We are very lucky to have John from Westoe Rugby Club come to our school on a weekly basis to work with the children in their PE lessons. Last half term, it was Year 5’s turn to receive his expert coaching!
On Tuesday 21st September, all children from Years 1-6 came to school in their sports clothes to recognise National Fitness Day. We were especially lucky to have an excellent personal trainer volunteer their time to come in and compete a short session with every year group.
During their PT session, the children had to rotate around 4 different exercise stations around the hall where they had to complete different exercises such as star jumps, sit ups, ladder runs and hurdles – all activities designed to get the blood pumping!
Take a look at the fun we had!

This year, being a little bit different, we couldn’t gather in our key stages to compete in sports day. We did however, all take to the tracks to compete in our bubbles.
There were various games competed in house colours including balancing a bat on a ball, bean bag shuttle, and the sack race!
It was such good fun for all year groups – everyone had a tremendous time!
Have a look below at some short videos of each year group enjoying their turn on the tracks.

Before half term, 20 children from Year 5 attended a cricket competition at Castle View Academy. The children played well and developed their batting, bowling and fielding skills over the course of the day. All involved had a great time.
On Wednesday, 24 Year 5 children took part in a football competition at Castle View Academy. Although they didn’t win on this occasion, all children approached each game with a fantastic attitude and had a great time.
Year 5 have been learning a dance routine over the course of the last half term. They have all worked very hard and have had lots of fun too. Here is their finished routine.
Year 5 have enjoyed completing fitness circuits on Monday mornings recently ahead of their upcoming multi-skills sessions. Children took part in a bleep test to assess their current levels of fitness before completing a number of timed relay events last week. All children tried extremely hard and had a great time.
