Amazing afternoon for Year 4 just before we broke up for May half term. Despite some reservations, all of the children caught a wave and had the best time surfing with South Shield Surf School.
Looking forward to the rest of our lessons over the next few weeks.
How amazing do our school football team look in their new kits. Thank you so much to the PTA and Education Network (kit sponsor).
The children were over the moon to try them on in anticipation of the next match on Monday.
Year 4 have taken part in Level 1 BikeAbility this week.
After learning how to check their bike and clothing for safety, they practised making observations and maintaining a suitable riding position.
They also learnt how to communicate with others around them, practising signals for turning.
Well done Year 4!
Year 4 had a very active day yesterday at Sunderland University. We took part in a multi-skills PE day with some trainee teachers. They had planned some very challenging but fun PE games. A favourite being crab football! The children did very well at all of the activities, showing great perseverance. They represented West Boldon Primary very well and we’re all very taken with the facilities at the university – with lots of the children making plans for their future while we were there!
Year 4 had a great afternoon taking part in the football tournament at Boldon School. Three teams took part and all of the children played to the best of their abilities. Determination, resilience and team work best describe all of the children’s efforts. One team ended the afternoon being awarded medals for winning their league but all of the children were winners to us. Well done Team Westies!
KS2 enjoyed a fabulous afternoon on Monday for sports day. They took part in plenty of team games in their house colours before watching or taking part in the individual races. It was a very close leaderboard, but the overall winner for KS2 was Emerald House – well done Emerald!
Last Thursday a group of year 4 and 5 girls represented our school in a football festival held at Castle View Enterprise Academy. We took part in football coaching drills followed by four matches, in which we won 3 games out of 4! The girls all played fantastic, had lots of fun, practised their football skills and behaved brilliantly. They even came up with a team celebration for each goal they scored!
Some of our year 3/4 pupils had a great day out on Friday at the South Tyneside Quad kids sports competition. The gave their all at Monkton Stadium and put in some amazing performances but unfortunately it wasn’t our day. Maybe next year!
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.
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.
