Foundation of Light Visit – Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds!

27th June 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Today, we welcome (as we do every Friday) the Foundation of Light team into school! They delivered a brilliant session all about healthy lifestyles, helping our children understand that staying healthy isn’t just about exercise—it’s also about eating well too.

Using the Eatwell Guide, the children explored how to build a balanced diet and learned why nutrition is just as important as keeping active.

We loved the Food hunt around the grounds!

A huge thank you to the team for making health and wellbeing fun, engaging and easy to understand!

Year 3 Explore Active Travel in ‘5 Minute Walk Zone’ with Sustrans

23rd May 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Sustrans-Logo

Yesterday, our Year 3 children had a wonderful visit from Abi at Sustrans to create a ‘5 Minute Walk Zone.’

The aim of the ‘5 minute walk zone’ is to encourage our families to park a little further from the school gates and enjoy a short walk to school, helping to reduce congestion and support well-being through fresh air and physical activity.

Working in pairs, each child received a map and a pencil before setting off on three separate walks from the school gate, each lasting five minutes in a different direction. At each stop point, children identified their location to help map out the boundaries of our very own ‘5 Minute Walk Zone.’

The data collected during the walk will now be used to create an informative leaflet to be shared with the wider school community, encouraging everyone to consider more active and sustainable travel choices.

Well done, Year 3, for your enthusiastic participation and thoughtful contributions, and a big thank you to Abi for a wonderful session! As a school, we are looking forward to working with Sustrans on more projects before the end of this academic year so watch this space!

Year 5’s Exciting Visit to Nissan and the Future of Eco-Friendly Technology

16th May 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Last week, our fantastic Year 5 classes embarked on an inspiring educational adventure to Nissan’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plant — and what an unforgettable day it was!

From the moment they arrived, pupils were immersed in the world of cutting-edge car design, robotics, and future technologies. They got a behind-the-scenes look at how vehicles are built, explored the technology behind electric cars, and discovered how automation and smart production methods are shaping the future of the automotive industry.

One of the most exciting parts of the visit was learning how Nissan is leading the way in creating eco-friendly vehicles and sustainable engineering practices. Our students were fascinated by the innovations driving greener transport and took part in thoughtful discussions about electric vehicles, climate change, and reducing carbon emissions – big topics for big thinkers!

The visit didn’t just enrich their understanding of STEM subjects – it also sparked meaningful conversations around green energy and the environment, inspiring many to think about future careers as engineers, designers, or environmental innovators.

A huge thank you to the amazing team at Nissan for the warm welcome and brilliantly organised experience. We’re incredibly proud of our Year 5s for representing West Boldon Primary School with such enthusiasm, curiosity, and outstanding behaviour throughout the day!

The Giving Project Update 4th June 2024

4th June 2024Miss K. Wilkinson

‘TO GIVE, TO HELP, TO BE KIND AND CREATE HAPPINESS’

A new project has been introduced into the school

To Give, To Help, To Be Kind and Create Happiness.

 

The Giving Project volunteers thoughtfully made ‘Teeth Brushing Charts’ for every child in Reception. The Reception children had a visit from the Dental Nurse, to teach the children how to brush their teeth correctly and the importance of looking after their teeth.

The Teeth Brushing Charts will help children track their teeth brushing each day, morning and night,as they tick the chart, once they have brushed their teeth.

The charts were greatly received by the Reception children and Mrs Bingham and staff were very proud of the Giving Project children for being so kind and thoughtful and for volunteering in their spare time.

Keep Fit Club

27th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

Keep Fit Club had great fun this week as Miss Ingoe brought in a giant parachute!

We worked as a team to lift the parachute in time, creating a mushroom and played games like cat and mouse and shark attack! There was a lot of laughter 😂

Wear Red for CHUF Day 28th Feb 2022

1st March 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Heart Month banner

On Monday 28th February, the children of West Boldon Primary School wore red to raise money for local charity CHUF.

CHUF stands for Children’s Heart Unit Fund which is based at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle. The charity supports the children and families who receive treatment at the Freeman and the many other hospitals providing cardiac care for patients throughout the North-East of England. They raise vital funds for pieces of equipment, facilities, aftercare, salaries and research. Freeman Hospital is also one of only two hospitals in the UK performing heart transplants for babies and children.

To raise money, children took part in a cake sale, and a ‘guess the hearts in the jar’ game. Altogether we managed to raise a huge £302.95 – all heading straight to CHUF to make some miracles happen!

Don’t we all look amazing in red!

Children at West Boldon Primary celebrated Children’s Mental Health Week this week (February 7th – 13th 2022).

Mrs Askwith (our pastoral and wellbeing mentor) spent some time with each class, talking about our own wellbeing, spreading kindness, and focussing on this year’s theme ‘Growing Together’.

Children also took part in a yoga session where they channelled all of their energy, worries and anxieties. Everyone came out of their session incredibly calm!

Finally, on Friday, to round off the week, children were invited to come to school wearing their most expressive outfits to ‘Dress to Express’, sharing their individuality and celebrating their uniqueness.

What a wonderful week we have had!
