Year 3 visit the Theatre Royal!

26th June 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 3 had a brilliant day at the Theatre Royal Newcastle today!

We had the opportunity to see the parts of the theatre that the general public don’t get to see. We saw dressing rooms, music rooms, backstage, under the stage and on the stage! What a view!!

Then we tried out the seats in all the levels, learned about the ghost of lady grey and even had a seat in the royal box.

Then we had an acting master class with Rhian. She was amazing and got us excited about theatre and creating our own plays!

Some of us would love to work in the theatre in the future, whether on the stage, behind the scenes or one of the many hidden roles we learned about today!

What a busy day!

Year 3 trip to the Life Centre

21st June 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

Earlier this week Year 3 went on an amazing visit to the Life Centre in Newcastle.

There, they took part in a digestive system workshop which linked to their science learning, before exploring the centre and its attractions, including a visit to the Planetarium where they learned all about the Solar System.

Zoolab visit to Year 3 and ARC 2!

21st June 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

We had Zoolab into school today with Year 3 and the ARC. The children were so brave and loved being able to hold and pet all the various creatures… we’re not quite as sure some of the staff loved the experience!

Paired Reading in the sunshine!

7th June 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

Each Wednesday morning our children take part in ‘paired reading’, this is where older children go and read with younger children.

As we saw the sun was out today we thought we’d take the session outside! Just makes it slightly more fun and memorable for our children.

Gardening Club make a new friend!

15th May 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

Our gardeners found something very interesting indeed when looking for bugs today in the Secret Garden. The children have named him Jeffery and wanted you to see him, hopefully we’ll see him again next week

Our fabulous school as viewed by drone!

3rd May 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

Huge thank you to Mrs Goodwin’s dad for coming into school and creating this amazing drone footage. How amazing does the school look? it’s so nice to see all the children loving life.

Please feel free to share to show everyone what a fab place West Boldon is!

We bought a mini bus!

22nd April 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

More exciting times at West Boldon Primary… we bought a mini bus!

This will enable us to take children on far more trips and also keep the costs of these down for parents. We are also going to use it to pick up some of our taxied in children and this will reduce congestion on the streets around school.
