Paired Reading

At West Boldon Primary School, we love fostering a passion for reading across all year groups! Today, our fantastic Year 5 pupils teamed up with our enthusiastic Year 1 and Year 2 children for a heartwarming shared reading session!
It was truly special to see our older pupils guiding, encouraging, and inspiring their younger peers, building confidence and a love for books along the way. From adventurous stories to fun picture books, every page turned was a step towards developing lifelong reading skills!
Moments like these showcase the power of teamwork, mentorship, and community spirit within our school. Well done to all involved—we can’t wait for the next session!

Aurora Borealis Art in Year 1/2

5th February 2025Fiona Goodwin

Class 6 have been diving into the wonders of the Arctic, and this week, we’ve been mesmerised by the beauty of the Aurora Borealis!

In our Art lessons, we’ve been experimenting with pastels and chalks, learning how to smudge and blend colours to recreate the breathtaking Northern Lights. Using different techniques, we’ve captured the swirling, glowing skies that makes this natural phenomenon so magical.

It’s been a fantastic way to combine our Geography and Art skills, and we can’t wait to display our stunning creations!

What a fantastic evening at West Boldon Primary! Tonight, we hosted our very first Christmas party for Reception and KS1, and it was a huge success!

The children had an amazing time dancing to festive tunes, enjoying delicious party food, and celebrating the season with their friends. The smiles and laughter were infectious!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special – it’s safe to say the Christmas spirit is well and truly alive at our school!

Class 6 – Baking up a storm!

28th November 2024Fiona Goodwin

Class 6 has been busy baking up a storm!

To wrap up their ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ topic, the children explored where different foods come from, focusing on how wheat is grown, harvested and used in food production.

With the amazing help of our Head Cook Mandy, they rolled up their sleeves to mix, knead, shape and bake their very own bread!

Not only did they enjoy tasting their delicious creations during story time, but they also got to take some home to share with their families!

What a fantastic way to learn about food and enjoy the fruits of their labour!

Messy with Maps in Class 5!

21st November 2024Fiona Goodwin

As part of their ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ geography unit, Class 5 got hands-on and creative! After exploring aerial view maps of our local area, they used concrete resources to build their own messy maps, bringing the landscape to life.

To deepen their learning, they created detailed keys to highlight both human and physical features, sharpening their mapping skills while discovering more about their surroundings. Learning geography has never been this much fun!
