African Dance Day!

Yesterday, our Year 3, 4, and 5 pupils had an amazing time during African Dance Day! They learned a variety of traditional African dances, explored the rhythms of the music , and even got to dress up in vibrant outfits! ✨
The joy and energy in the room were absolutely infectious, and the children had so much fun embracing a new culture while dancing their hearts out!

Reception Outdoor Fun

Even a little chill in the air can’t stop our Reception children from having fun! ❄️ On Friday, they had an amazing time exploring the Reception garden, discovering, playing, and making wonderful memories outdoors.
You’d never guess these children have only been at West Boldon Primary for a few short months—the progress they’ve made is incredible! A real credit to all of our parents for their support. Well done, everyone!

School Choir – Dementia Friendly Service

8th January 2025Fiona Goodwin

Our amazing school choir had the privilege of performing at the Dementia Friendly Service held at Sacred Heart Church in Boldon. The children sang so beautifully, and it was pure joy when the audience joined in with a few festive favourites, creating such a warm and heartwarming atmosphere.

The service was led by Rev. Emma, with Fr. Keith offering a special blessing to everyone. The children were absolutely thrilled to receive thoughtful gifts of knitted angels and chocolates, which made the day even more memorable.

A huge thank you to the Nurturing Dementia Management Group for organising this wonderful event and inviting us to be part of such a special occasion. It was an experience we’ll cherish forever!

Whirlwind last week of term!

That week alone, we had:

  • Reception activities
  • Key Stage 1 performance
  • Key Stage 2 performance
  • Reception & Key Stage 1 Christmas Party
  • Key Stage 2 Christmas Party

A huge thank you to our incredible staff, pupils, families and community for making this term so special!

 

Reception Nativity Success!

Yesterday afternoon, our Reception children wowed us all with their incredible nativity performance! Considering they’ve only been with us since September and had just four weeks to rehearse, they truly shone. From the singing and dancing to the confident speaking, every moment was magical.

A big thank you to the parents and families who came along to support the children – your encouragement means so much to us all.

We’re excited for this to be the first of many wonderful Christmas performances over the next few days. What a fantastic way to kick off the festive season!

Who knows? We may have the next Ed Sheeran or Pink Floyd right here at West Boldon!

If your child would like to join Rocksteady and be part of the next concert at Easter, please let the school office know.

A huge WELL DONE to all our incredible musicians – you smashed it!
