OPAL Lunchtimes Update!

14th November 2024Fiona Goodwin

Lunchtimes at West Boldon Primary have never been more exciting thanks to OPAL play! We’ve seen such incredible creativity, teamwork, and joy as the children dive into activities that bring learning and play together.

One of the most popular areas has been the den-building zone, where students can gather materials, share ideas and work together to create their own little hideaways. From imaginative forts to cozy spaces, it’s wonderful to watch friendships deepen and see how proud they are of what they’ve built.

These moments not only make lunchtimes fun but also support important skills like problem solving, cooperation and resilience. A big thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible – seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter from our playground is priceless!

This is what Boldon is all about, community coming together to help each other out. Huge thank you to parents and local contractors for all the help over the last week with regards our new reading bus. We have got it moved to its final resting place, we can’t wait to get the kids involved in transforming it.

More exciting times here at West Boldon Primary! We haven’t had a bus driver go rogue and crash into the school field. Stagecoach have very kindly donated a bus that we are going to turn into a lunch time reading/craft area. The children were so excited when they came out at playtime and saw it!

We do playtimes slightly different here at West Boldon Primary! It’s all about fun and the children being children. We ensure that they have the opportunity to engage with each other and learn how to play effectively. This is only the start in our plans to transform our outdoor areas……watch what we have coming soon!
