More exciting times at West Boldon Primary… we bought a mini bus!
This will enable us to take children on far more trips and also keep the costs of these down for parents. We are also going to use it to pick up some of our taxied in children and this will reduce congestion on the streets around school.
We absolutely loved all the entries in this year’s Easter egg competition.
The children enjoyed coming into the hall and Mandy and Christine had fun picking out the winners!
We will be announcing the winners and giving them their prizes in assembly tomorrow.
We have been enhancing our RE teaching this half term through the use of stories. Some year groups have been lucky enough to have a very special visitor, Elizabeth, who came to lead a workshop with each class.
Reception have had a storyteller in to tell the story of the Three Trees for RE. This version of the folktale ‘Three Tall Trees’ sensitively introduces EYFS children to the Easter story, whilst also placing it in context with the story of Jesus. Incorporating actions and call and response, pupils were given the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of the Easter story for Christians.
Year 3 have had the opportunity to go through the story of Palm Sunday with the storyteller to look at the entrance into Jerusalem from a disciples perspective. Whereas, Year 5 have discussed the events leading to and after the Last Supper.
We love reading at West Boldon Primary so we especially love world book day! The children (and staff) looked fabulous in their outfits and had a lovely day after Miss Ingoe’s class lead an assembly based on reading. We can’t wait for next year.
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.
What a fab morning!
We have had our very own launch event which introduced the children to Rocksteady workshops that will be held in school. Today gave the children a chance to try out the instruments and learn all about being a musician in a band!
Rocksteady is an incredible opportunity for the children to learn to play their favourite songs in their very own band with a choice of drums, keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar or vocals. Lessons will take place every week during school time.
As well learning new musical skills, lessons also help the children with their confidence, wellbeing, social skills and teamwork. These fun and inclusive lessons are taught by highly trained, professional musicians who know how to inspire a life-long love of music.
At the end of each term each band will perform a concert for the school and their families, so you can see how far they have come!
Year 5 enjoyed a fabulous day at The Great North Museum to support our Egyptian topic. We thoroughly enjoyed learning more about mummification and taking part in the mummification process.
As part of the mission we had to refuel our engines after they were damaged in a sandstorm. They only way to transport water from the oasis was to fold paper and carry it through an obstacle course.
Our school council loved their morning trip to Newcastle and Pizza Express to make their own pizza margarita as a reward for all their hard work. They were a credit to the school as always.
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!
