Year 5 are really enjoying producing a range of visuals of the Sun using a variety of tints, tones and shades.
Class 10 have begun their art lessons from out Lightening Speed topic. Today they were challenged to copy a picture of a flower ten times. The children said this was impossible and they couldn’t make any EXACTLY the same. They then investigated printing to fine it was somewhat more reliable. We will discover who invented the printing press and so revolutionised the spread of the written word in our next lessons.
The children from the Giving Project enjoyed making traditional paper chains to decorate the hall for the Macmillan Coffee Morning, which was held in school. It was a great success in raising funds for this amazing charity.
Class Ten, completed their computing work in the current class topic (Lightening Speed) by creating their own representation of how an email travels across the internet. The children were able to explain how computers can be connected together, how routers direct the information to the correct computer and how information – in this instance an email- will be “cut up” put in to separate packets to travel quickly before being reassembled at its destination.
CoJo After School Club Adventure!
Today, our young adventurers took on the challenge of crossing a dangerous river to rescue their friend from the enemy. Along the way, they explored important qualities in a friend: teamwork, communication, and looking out for each other. Together, they discussed how to keep everyone safe and how to help one another through tough situations.
Not only did they succeed, but they had an absolute blast while doing it! What an amazing way to learn the value of friendship and co-operation.
At West Boldon Primary, we believe that a hot, healthy lunch is key to fueling our students for success! Our nutritious meals are packed with fresh ingredients to keep minds sharp and bodies strong. From delicious veggies to hearty proteins, we’re proud of our menu and love seeing our students enjoy every bite! Let’s keep growing healthy and learning together—one meal at a time!
What a fabulous first night at Musical Theatre Club!! We’re ready to sing, dance, and act our hearts out!
Tonight, we kicked things off with some fun drama and acting games—freeze-framing movies, finding our group rhythm, creating imaginary objects, and even playing memory games to help with line learning! Crossing the room as wild and wonderful things was a blast!
Mrs. Garr, Miss Makel, and Miss Ingoe were so impressed with all the children! We had such a great time together!
There are still spaces available if you’d like to join us on Mondays! Let one of the adults know.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Macmillan Coffee & Cake Morning!
We are so proud of our school community for coming together in support of Macmillan Cancer Support. The delicious cakes, warm smiles, and generous donations made the event a huge success!
Thanks to your kindness, we raised over £150 to help those affected by cancer. A special shout-out to our fantastic bakers and volunteers for making the morning so special.
Together, we’re making a difference!
Year 5 students had an exciting and educational experience during their visit to The Word in South Shields, where they put their growing programming skills to the test! Using Lego Spike Prime kits, the students took on the challenge of coding dancing robots. By applying their knowledge of block-based coding, they were able to program the robots to perform synchronized movements, bringing their creations to life in a fun and interactive way.
This project allowed the children to showcase their creativity and problem-solving abilities, while also emphasizing the importance of teamwork. It’s amazing to see how confidently they tackled the challenge, demonstrating not only their enthusiasm for STEM but also their ability to turn coding instructions into real-world actions.
This class trip is a great example of how hands-on technology can both engage and educate, making learning fun while helping to build essential skills for the future. Our young coders are already showing incredible potential, and we can’t wait to see where their love for STEM will take them!
Year 5 children visiting The Word in South Shields have demonstrated impressive programming skills by coding dancing robots using Lego Spike Prime. They successfully applied their knowledge of block-based coding to animate the robots, showcasing creativity and teamwork. The robots were programmed to perform coordinated movements, displaying the childrens’ growing confidence in STEM learning and their ability to turn coding instructions into real-life actions. This class trip highlights how engaging and educational hands-on technology can be for our children.
