As part of our Dimensions topic on the Arctic, class 3 have been painting penguins, building marshmallow igloos and even attempted some Inuit throat singing!
We have really enjoyed learning about Inuit people and how their loves differ from ours. We were particularly interested in their diet!
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.
This term Class Four will be working in dance. Every Monday for the next six weeks, Miss Skiggs will be working with the class to teach dance steps and to combine the steps in to a routine.
Some of the children in Class 4 were given a challenge in maths today to compare addition and subtraction facts. Although that was tricky – there was an added level of difficulty, in that the calculations had been completed and the children had to check they were correct and sort them in to true and false.
Year 2 are looking at art created by Christy Brown who painted pictures with his foot. It made perfect sense for the children to have a go too!
Reception have enjoyed a wonderfully Christmassy day in class today where they were surprised to see the Polar Express had arrived!
They came to school in their pyjamas, drank hot chocolate and watched the movie.
KS2 (Year 3-6) enjoyed a wonderful walk to St Nicholas Church this morning.
Once there, each year group sang a Christmas carol they had been practising over the last few weeks. Rev. Paul also told the children all about Advent and chose a lucky Year 3 child to come and light the candles on the Advent wreath.
Rev. Paul was really impressed with the children’s knowledge of Advent already and after that the children asked him such insightful questions about the church.
At the end of the service Rev. Paul blessed us all with a lovely Christmas prayer.
All of the children were beautifully behaved and represented our school incredibly! Well done KS2!
At West Boldon Primary we celebrated Christmas Jumper Day this year on Monday 13th December 2021.
Children were invited to come to school wearing their Christmas jumpers or T-shirts on this day to share some Christmas cheer!
It was Year 1’s final gymnastics session with Mr Gilmore this week. The children have been working hard to learn elements for a routine, today they performed their routine in a competition.
Mr Gilmore watched each child perform their routine and scored them just as if they’d been competing in the Olympics. He was very impressed at the standard the children performed at and wasn’t able to only pick a first, second and third place. We had joint places for silver and gold! Amazing!
