Wonderful Mother’s Day Stay and Play!

2nd April 2025Fiona Goodwin

We had an amazing time celebrating Mother’s Day with our Reception parents at our special Stay and Play session! It was heartwarming to see so many parents join us for a morning filled with fun, creativity and quality time with their little ones.

A huge highlight was hearing the children sing so beautifully – it was truly a special moment!

Thank you to all the parents who came along and made it such a fantastic event. Your support and involvement mean so much to us and, most importantly, to your children!

Reception Gardening Fun

26th March 2025Fiona Goodwin

Our little gardeners have been busy tidying and sorting the Reception garden, getting it ready for some exciting planting! Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be sowing seeds – including broad beans, inspired by Jack and the Beanstalk! Who knows…maybe we’ll grow a giant surprise!

Why did Jack plant a bean?

Because he wanted to stalk up on veggies!

Great job, Reception! We can’t wait to see what sprouts!

Physical Friday!

17th March 2025Fiona Goodwin
On Friday, at West Boldon Primary School, we had a fantastic time working on our fine motor skills to help improve our writing!
The children know that having strong arms, hands, and fingers is super important for forming letters and numbers correctly. Through cutting, threading, squeezing, and pinching, they had so much fun while building up their muscles!
Great job, everyone! Keep up the hard work!

Teamwork in Reception!

12th March 2025Fiona Goodwin

Teamwork, problem-solving, and big smiles in Reception today!

Some of our Reception children had an amazing time working together to build a huge Duplo tower – so tall it stretched all the way from the floor to the ceiling!

They showed fantastic teamwork, perseverance, and creativity, and their proud faces said it all when they completed their challenge. Well done, everyone!

Reception Outdoor Fun

16th January 2025Fiona Goodwin
Even a little chill in the air can’t stop our Reception children from having fun! ❄️ On Friday, they had an amazing time exploring the Reception garden, discovering, playing, and making wonderful memories outdoors.
You’d never guess these children have only been at West Boldon Primary for a few short months—the progress they’ve made is incredible! A real credit to all of our parents for their support. Well done, everyone!

Reception Nativity Success!

19th December 2024Fiona Goodwin

Yesterday afternoon, our Reception children wowed us all with their incredible nativity performance! Considering they’ve only been with us since September and had just four weeks to rehearse, they truly shone. From the singing and dancing to the confident speaking, every moment was magical.

A big thank you to the parents and families who came along to support the children – your encouragement means so much to us all.

We’re excited for this to be the first of many wonderful Christmas performances over the next few days. What a fantastic way to kick off the festive season!

Reception & KS1 Christmas Party

19th December 2024Fiona Goodwin

What a fantastic evening at West Boldon Primary! Tonight, we hosted our very first Christmas party for Reception and KS1, and it was a huge success!

The children had an amazing time dancing to festive tunes, enjoying delicious party food, and celebrating the season with their friends. The smiles and laughter were infectious!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special – it’s safe to say the Christmas spirit is well and truly alive at our school!

Sunshine Nursery Paired Reading Visit

12th July 2024Fiona Goodwin

It has been so nice to build closer links with all our feeder nurseries this year and help the new Reception intake settle in so much better in September. The children had a chance to see their new teachers and their new classrooms. It was lovely!

Sports Day 2024

9th July 2024Fiona Goodwin

The weather was perfect today and enabled us to hold both Rec/KS1 and KS2 Sports Days. The children loved trying their best to be the fastest and we had huge support from our parents/carers as usual. We know the children will sleep well tonight!

 

Father’s Day Stay and Play in Reception

21st June 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

We had a lovely ‘stay and play’ on Friday for all our dads (we were happy for mums, nanas and grandads to come too!). It was so nice to see the interaction between everyone and the children loved their families seeing their amazing reception classrooms.
