School Choir – Dementia Friendly Service

8th January 2025Fiona Goodwin

Our amazing school choir had the privilege of performing at the Dementia Friendly Service held at Sacred Heart Church in Boldon. The children sang so beautifully, and it was pure joy when the audience joined in with a few festive favourites, creating such a warm and heartwarming atmosphere.

The service was led by Rev. Emma, with Fr. Keith offering a special blessing to everyone. The children were absolutely thrilled to receive thoughtful gifts of knitted angels and chocolates, which made the day even more memorable.

A huge thank you to the Nurturing Dementia Management Group for organising this wonderful event and inviting us to be part of such a special occasion. It was an experience we’ll cherish forever!

Whirlwind last week of term!

8th January 2025Fiona Goodwin

What a whirlwind of a week and an amazing end to a busy term we had here at West Boldon Primary!

That week alone, we had:

  • Reception activities
  • Key Stage 1 performance
  • Key Stage 2 performance
  • Reception & Key Stage 1 Christmas Party
  • Key Stage 2 Christmas Party

And, in true spirit of Christmas, we were so proud to deliver 20 Christmas hampers, generously donated by the local Catholic Church, to help people nominated within the Boldon community. This highlighted to us just how important being a community-focused school is to us.

A huge thank you to our incredible staff, pupils, families and community for making this term so special!

 

Rocksteady Concert!

This morning, our amazing children from Year 1 to Year 6 took the stage and absolutely rocked it! They formed bands, sang their hearts out, and played instruments inspired by their favourite artists. Every performance was fantastic, and we couldn’t be prouder!

Who knows? We may have the next Ed Sheeran or Pink Floyd right here at West Boldon!

If your child would like to join Rocksteady and be part of the next concert at Easter, please let the school office know.

A huge WELL DONE to all our incredible musicians – you smashed it!

Road Safety Week

28th November 2024Fiona Goodwin

Last week, we proudly marked Road Safety Week, focusing on raising awareness about staying safe on the roads. After a school-wide vote, we chose to receive a special road safety lesson – and our incredible Team Communicators took charge!

They organised an engaging assembly centered on the key message; Think, Stop, Wait, and Listen before crossing the road. The assembly featured interactive role play and shared vital tips for crossing safely, making it both fun and memorable for everyone!

A huge round of applause to our Team Communicators for delivering such an important message with energy and confidence!
