Class 4 were recently set the task of making a bag for a fairy.
They produced some fantastic designs and then spent a long time making some absolutely AMAZING bags.
Here are just a few to look at.
We were set the challenge of making a clay pot for Cinderella to keep her treasures in.
The children explored how to change the shape of the clay to become a pot by rolling, squashing, squeezing and twisting.
Some children spent a long time perfecting their pots, spotting problems with their designs , adding decorations and making lids.
I am sure any Cinderella who gets to use the pots to keep their treasures in will be thrilled!
Class four have been exploring the sounds they can make using musical instruments. We used the story Little Red Riding Hood to try to create a sound scape to reflect the mood and events in the story. We annotated a story map for our graphic score to help us know when to play our instruments.
Listen to our piece of music and see if you can hear the mood change.
Year 1 this term have been practising basic skills – controlling the ball, throwing and catching as well as listening to and remembering the rules of the game and tasks.
We have loved working with Mr Gibson and learning how to throw and catch by ourselves and to a friend. We are getting really good and have learnt how to follow the bean bag with our eyes to help us catch successfully.
As part of Year 3’s Dimensions topic, That’s All Folks, the children have been learning about animation through computing, art and history.
They have learnt about different types of animation, how animation started and how it’s developed.
The children have been inspired by our trip to South Shields Museum with Sheila Graber and most recently Wallace and Gromit. They storyboarded and created their own plasticine stop motion using the iPads.
Here are some of our amazing creations!

We love a Friday and our celebration assembly, we are always so proud to hear about all the good work that our children have produced during the week. Well done everyone. ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟
Well done to all our amazing stars this week and also our two headteacher golden token award winners. It’s been another good week here at West Boldon. 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️
Year 6 enjoyed their first educational visit of the year this week. They travelled to The Word in South Shields where they met the OpenZone staff and worked on their chromebooks. They learned some computer science skills in Scratch and created their own coded creations!
