Celebration Assembly 14th & 21st Nov 2025

27th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Our Star of the Week winners from the past two weeks look absolutely delighted — and it’s easy to see why! Their hard work and brilliant attitudes have truly shone through.

But no smile was bigger than Shay’s! He won the golden coin and became the very first pupil to receive a Fast Fry treat — what a moment!

Well done to all of our amazing winners… keep shining, keep smiling, and keep making us proud!

Year 5 Commando Joe’s Mission Report 

24th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

The Year 5 pupils had a fun and engaging Commando Joe session today!
Working as a team, they demonstrated excellent communication skills and strategic thinking throughout the challenge.

Their mission involved transferring rock samples from the space modules to the space station for testing.

Every group showed resilience, focus, and brilliant collaboration as they completed their tasks.

A fantastic effort from everyone — mission accomplished!

Year 5 PSHE – Remembrance

20th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Today our Year 5 pupils reflected on the importance of Remembrance Day and the symbol of the poppy as a way of honouring those who have been lost in conflict.

Through thoughtful discussion, the children explored why we pause to remember and how the poppy has become a powerful emblem of hope and gratitude. We also talked about how the poppy can be meaningful for children today — not only as a symbol of those who served in the past, but also as a way of remembering loved ones they may have lost themselves.

To mark this, the class worked together to create a beautiful remembrance wreath, which will be displayed during our school’s remembrance celebration.

We are so proud of their empathy, creativity, and respect in commemorating this important tradition.

History Ambassadors Remembrance Research Project

11th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

To commemorate Remembrance Sunday, some of our Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a special local history project. They spent time researching some of the brave soldiers from our own community who once lived right here in Boldon.

They shared it with the rest of children in assembly.

Using local ancestry records, census information, and other historical sources, the children discovered more about three heroic men — John Herbert Dryden, W. Halliday, and William Edward James.

We wonder if any of our families may have connections to these remarkable individuals…

We will remember them…

11th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

This week, our school community has come together to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country.

Our Remembrance commemorations began on Sunday, when representatives from West Boldon Primary School proudly attended the Boldon Colliery War Memorial service. A beautiful wreath, made by our children, was laid in memory of all the soldiers who fought and died for us — a gesture of respect and gratitude from our whole school community.

Back in school, pupils reflected on the importance of remembrance through a special assembly, which shared stories of bravery, loss, and hope. This was followed by our two-minute silence at 11 o’clock, when the whole school gathered in the hall to pause, reflect, and remember together.

Year 5 Multi-Skills Day at Sunderland University

11th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Our Year 5 pupils had an amazing day at Sunderland University, taking part in a fun-filled multi-skills event!

The university students put them through their paces with a variety of exciting ball games, team challenges, and coordination activities.

Everyone showed great energy, teamwork, and determination — and, of course, had lots of fun!

A huge thank you to Sunderland University for hosting such a brilliant day!

Using our POWERS for GOOD this Anti-Bullying Week

11th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Today, our Year 3 pupils were delighted to welcome Vicky from KalmaLife as part of our Anti-Bullying Week activities.

During the session, the children explored the power of their breath — discovering how simple breathing techniques can help them manage big feelings, stay calm in tricky situations, and show kindness and empathy towards others. They also learned how to share these calming strategies with friends, helping to create a more caring and supportive school community.

The workshop ended with a peaceful guided meditation, leaving everyone feeling relaxed, centered, and ready to use their inner calm to make a positive difference.

Thank you to Vicky and KalmaLife for such a wonderful and meaningful session!

Celebration Assembly 7th Nov 2025

7th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

What a fantastic way to round off the week!

Friday’s Celebration Assembly was bursting with pride and positivity as we recognised pupils who continue to shine by upholding our Gold Standards in both learning and behaviour.

We’re incredibly proud of them all — and you should be too!

A huge well done to our Golden Coin winner — a wonderful friend who has shown such kindness, support, and positivity towards others. Not only has she been a caring and reliable friend, but she’s also been a huge help in choir, always ready to lend a hand and lift others’ spirits with her enthusiasm.

She truly embodies what it means to be a West Boldon star!

Paired Reading

5th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

At West Boldon Primary, we absolutely LOVE reading!

We truly believe that reading is the most important thing a primary school can help children to develop — it opens doors to imagination, learning, and lifelong curiosity.

One of the ways we nurture this passion is through our Tuesday afternoon shared paired reading sessions, where children from different classes come together to share their favourite books. Older pupils read to younger ones, creating a wonderful buzz of storytelling and excitement around books.

These sessions don’t just build a love of reading — they also strengthen friendships across year groups and fill our school with smiles, laughter, and the joy of stories.

Animations in the ARC

25th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

To wrap up their topic on animation, Arc 2 got creative with stop motion on the iPads! They started by making a toy car appear to move, taking photos step by step using a stop motion app. Watching their creations come to life was a big hit!

We then got into the Halloween spirit by building Lego figures and turning them into our own animated stories. Some even used spooky backgrounds to make their animations extra fun! The children had a fantastic time bringing their ideas to life.
