SEN/Mental Health Event

21st November 2024Fiona Goodwin

Yesterday, Mr McCormack and Mrs Askwith had the pleasure of meeting South Tyneside Mayor Faye Cunningham and Mayoress Stella Mathewson at the SEN/Mental Health Event at Boldon Community Centre. It was wonderful to connect with parents, offer support around SEND and mental wellbeing, and be part of such an important conversation.

A big thank you to Lisa and everyone at Sunshine Nursery for organising this fantastic event. Your dedication to the community is truly inspiring!

Pantomime Time!

21st November 2024Fiona Goodwin

What a magical morning at West Boldon Primary! Today, the whole school was treated to an in-school pantomime of Aladdin – and it was simply phenomenal!

The children were captivated by the performances, laughing, singing and joining in with the fun. Even some of our teachers couldn’t resist getting up to dance – who knew we had such movers in the staffroom?

This has truly set the tone for the festive season – Christmas has officially begun at West Boldon! Thank you to the amazing cast for bringing the magic of panto to us.

New Barriers and Road Markings

21st November 2024Fiona Goodwin

A huge thank you to Councillor Simon Oliver for organising the installation of the new barrier and road markings outside West Boldon Primary! These improvements are already making a big difference in keeping our children safe.

Simon is continuing to push for even more work to fill in the remaining gaps, but we’re currently awaiting updates from the council. Watch this space!

Anti-Bullying Week 2024

21st November 2024Fiona Goodwin

This week, we proudly celebrated Anti-Bullying Week 2024 with the inspiring theme of ‘Showing Acts of Kindness Every Day’. Our children wholeheartedly embraced this message, voting to make kindness the heart of our efforts – and we couldn’t be prouder of their dedication!

Highlights of the Week:

  • Team Communicators led the way, recognising and celebrating acts of kindness across the school. They awarded certificates to children who went above and beyond to show thoughtfulness and care, spreading positivity throughout our community.
  • To conclude the week, the Team Communicators shared a special gesture with every child – a heartfelt note of thanks for their kindness. These meaningful tokens reminded us all of the power of small acts to make a big difference.

A huge well done to everyone at West Boldon Primary School! This week, you demonstrated how kindness can help create a culture of care, empathy, and inclusion, showing the world what it means to build a bully-free community.

Let’s continue to carry this message forward, every day!

Remembrance Day Service

Today our West Boldon Primary School community came together to honour and remember those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. Our students took part in a special Remembrance Day service, observing a two-minute silence as a mark of respect. We are incredibly proud of how our children reflected on the significance of this day and showed their gratitude in such a thoughtful way. Lest we forget.

Centre for Life – Year 5 Trip

14th November 2024Fiona Goodwin

Year 5 had an absolutely amazing time on their trip to the Centre for Life! From exploring the wonder of the planetarium to getting involved in the hands-on interactive zones, the students were fully immersed in an exciting world of science, space and technology.

The visit was the perfect complement to their current theme ‘Mission Control’, helping to deepen their understanding of the universe and scientific concepts in a fun, engaging environment. They learned so much about space exploration, robotics, and more, all while actively participating in experiments and displays.

This experience really brought their classroom learning to life, sparking curiosity and excitement about STEM subjects!
