Year 5 had a fantastic afternoon at Boldon School, representing West Boldon with pride and showing amazing teamwork throughout the event!
Team A were crowned champions
Team B finished as impressive runners-up
An incredible achievement for both teams—what a result!
All of the children behaved brilliantly and showed excellent sportsmanship. We’re so proud of you all!
Last week, our fantastic Year 5 classes embarked on an inspiring educational adventure to Nissan’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plant — and what an unforgettable day it was!
From the moment they arrived, pupils were immersed in the world of cutting-edge car design, robotics, and future technologies. They got a behind-the-scenes look at how vehicles are built, explored the technology behind electric cars, and discovered how automation and smart production methods are shaping the future of the automotive industry.
One of the most exciting parts of the visit was learning how Nissan is leading the way in creating eco-friendly vehicles and sustainable engineering practices. Our students were fascinated by the innovations driving greener transport and took part in thoughtful discussions about electric vehicles, climate change, and reducing carbon emissions – big topics for big thinkers!
The visit didn’t just enrich their understanding of STEM subjects – it also sparked meaningful conversations around green energy and the environment, inspiring many to think about future careers as engineers, designers, or environmental innovators.
A huge thank you to the amazing team at Nissan for the warm welcome and brilliantly organised experience. We’re incredibly proud of our Year 5s for representing West Boldon Primary School with such enthusiasm, curiosity, and outstanding behaviour throughout the day!
Today, Year 5 had a fantastic visit from Jaswinder Singh from the North East Sikh Service!
As part of our current RE unit on Sikh commitment and belonging, we had a brilliant discussion all about Sikh beliefs, values, and practices. The children were fascinated to learn about how Life is a Lesson — and how we grow and learn throughout life, together.
Jaswinder even led a calming meditation session which the children absolutely loved!
Thank you so much for visiting and sharing your knowledge and kindness with us!
Today in assembly, we explored the powerful story The Exclusion Blanket by Sarah Martin-Denham.
We talked about what it means to feel excluded and why it’s so important to ask “What’s happened to you?” instead of “What’s wrong with you?”
Using the idea of an “exclusion blanket”, children reflected on how they can help unwrap feelings of sadness and instead wrap others in kindness, understanding and inclusion.
At West Boldon, we’re proud to be building a school where everyone feels seen, heard and supported.
What an incredible day we’ve had at West Boldon Primary, coming together to celebrate the 80th anniversary of VE Day!
Our celebrations began with a special whole-school assembly where pupils learned all about Victory in Europe Day and its importance in marking the end of World War II in Europe. Together, we reflected on the sacrifices made, the resilience of those on the home front, and the joy and relief felt across the nation on that historic day in 1945.
Back in the classrooms, the learning continued in creative and meaningful ways. Children took part in a wide range of engaging activities – from designing their own commemorative bunting and making wartime-inspired crafts, to handling historical sources and writing thoughtful diary entries and reports as if they were children living through that momentous time in history. Their work was not only imaginative but showed a real depth of understanding.
The fun didn’t stop there! We had wartime music playing throughout the day, and the children enjoyed learning some traditional dances – bringing a little of the 1940s. Our school was filled with laughter and music as everyone joined in with the festivities.
Of course, no celebration would be complete without food, and we were treated to a fantastic VE Day-themed picnic lunch, full of delicious treats prepared by our amazing catering team. From traditional sandwiches to beautifully baked cakes, the lunch was a real highlight and a lovely way to bring everyone together.
It’s been a day filled with learning, joy, community spirit, and heartfelt remembrance. A huge thank you to all the staff, pupils, and families who helped make today so special.
Happy VE Day from all of us at West Boldon Primary!
On Monday, we wrapped up our final two Mother’s Day events, and what a special day it was!
Upper Key Stage 2 started the day with heartfelt performances, singing beautifully and sharing touching words about their love and appreciation for their mums.
Lower Key Stage 2 ended our celebrations with three stunning songs, followed by a delightful afternoon tea of scones and a good old cuppa!
We’ve been absolutely blown away by the incredible support from all our parents over the past two days. Thank you for making these events so special!
What a night for our boys! Our school football team put in two outstanding performances, securing two fantastic wins:
3-0 vs. East Boldon Juniors – A dominant display in the local derby!
4-0 vs. Biddick Hall Juniors – Another brilliant performance!
Well done, boys! You played really well, showing great skill, teamwork and determination.
What an absolutely amazing performance by the talented senior school students! Our Year 5 children were captivated from start to finish (as were the staff!)
It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces on stag, including several of last year’s Year 6 pupils and past students, shining with confidence and talent!
A huge well done to our Year 5 children, who were impeccably behaved throughout the afternoon and represented West Boldon Primary with pride!
Thank you to Boldon School for inviting us – what a fantastic experience!
