Our brave Year 5s channelled their inner warriors during their Commando Joe mission today! They worked together to FREE the hostages — just like Spartacus and his fearless crew freeing the gladiators from the clutches of the Roman Empire!
There was crawling, sneaking, planning, shouting (and a bit of dramatic rolling)… all in the name of teamwork and ancient heroism!
Watch out Rome… West Boldon’s Year 5s are coming for you!

Class 12 stepped into the arena this week as young gladiators, building the skills they’d need to succeed in battle!
They developed their agility, speed, precision, communication, and teamwork through fun and challenging activities. It was fantastic to see such brilliant collaboration, encouragement, and determination from every child.
The spirit of Spartacus was strong — and so were our gladiators!
As part of our Going Wild topic, our amazing Year 1/2 children had an unforgettable adventure at Northumberland Zoo!
The trip brought our learning on animal classification to life —from mammals and birds to reptiles and amphibians, the children were fantastic at spotting features and talking all about habitats, diets, and animal groups.
We were so proud of their curiosity, enthusiasm, and brilliant behaviour throughout the day They showed great respect, kindness, and were true ambassadors of West Boldon Primary!
️Every child has brought home a FREE return ticket – so they can go back and share their learning with family!
A huge thank you to the team at Northumberland Zoo for such a fantastic experience – and to our incredible pupils for making it so special!
Year 5 had a fantastic day out at Eden Camp!
The trip gave our pupils a brilliant opportunity to deepen and reinforce their understanding of the World Wars and wider themes of conflict. It brought history to life and helped them build on everything they’ve been learning in class this term.
Well done, Year 5 — what a memorable way to round off your topic!
What a lovely day at West Boldon Primary!

A big thank you to the wonderful parents who joined us for our weekly Look and Lunch. It’s always such a joy to welcome you in school to see the fantastic learning and share a meal with your child ️

Our young engineers got hands-on building their own LEGO cars, discovered fascinating facts about our local Nissan plant, and even let their imaginations run wild designing cars of the future!
The day was full of creativity, teamwork, and inspiring ideas — who knows, we might have some future car designers in the making!
A big thank you to Nissan for a brilliant and engaging workshop!
What a fantastic end to the week at West Boldon Primary!

Thank you to everyone who joined us — what a special way to round off the week!
Today, Year 5 stepped into the sandals of Spartacus — a brave gladiator leading a mission against all odds! With fewer men in his army, Spartacus had only one chance of winning: teamwork. And that’s exactly what we showed!
From building battle strategies to completing challenges, we showed:
️ Self-communication – thinking before acting and talking clearly to each other
Teamwork – listening, encouraging, and making sure no one was left behind
Every decision counted, and we worked like a true army!
Spartacus would’ve been proud.
