That’s All Folks!

13th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Arc 2 have been having so much fun with their new topic all about animation! This week in DT, we brought our learning to life by making our very own animated lever puppets!

First, we practised our skills by creating paper versions and learning how to make moving joints using split pins.

Then came the exciting part — designing and building our very own wooden extendable puppets! We thought carefully about colours, patterns, and character design, before painting them beautifully to match our plans.

The results were fantastic — a real showcase of creativity, teamwork and imagination!

13th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

What an amazing end to our week!

On Friday, we celebrated our Golden Coin Star of the Week Assembly, and it was wonderful to hear how our children are continuing to meet our Gold Standards in both behaviour and work.

We’re so proud of each and every one of them — you should be too!

A special mention also goes to some of our Year 5 children, who received certificates for taking part in last week’s rugby tournament — well done, team!

Boldon School Rugby Competition Success!

10th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Our Year 5 pupils had a fantastic morning taking part in the Boldon School Rugby Competition.

They represented West Boldon Primary with pride throughout the event, showing excellent sportsmanship and team spirit.

Their behaviour was exemplary, and their teamwork and determination on the pitch were truly outstanding.

We’re incredibly proud to share that one of our teams came away as champions!

A huge well done to all of our Year 5 pupils — you were amazing ambassadors for our school!

Teamwork and Triumph for ARC2 at Sunderland Bowl

8th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

What a morning for Arc 2!

Arc 2 had a fantastic time at Sunderland Bowl today, taking part in an inter-school bowling competition. Every single one of them gave it their all — showing brilliant teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout!

Their hard work paid off with a first-place finish and some very happy faces as they proudly received their gold medals!

Well done, Arc 2 — we’re all so proud of you!

Paired Reading

8th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

At West Boldon Primary, we believe that reading is the most important thing we can encourage our children to do — it’s the key to learning, imagination, and success!

Every day at 3 p.m., our classrooms come alive with story time, as pupils and teachers share their love of books together. But Tuesdays are extra special…

Each Tuesday, we take part in paired reading, where children from different year groups come together to share their favourite books. Older pupils read to younger ones, chat about their stories, and inspire one another to discover new adventures through reading.

It’s a wonderful way to foster a love of reading across the whole school and build friendships between year groups.

We absolutely love a Tuesday at West Boldon!

Harvest Donations – What a Result!

5th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

A huge thank you to our wonderfully kind families for their generosity this Harvest. We think this might be the biggest collection we’ve ever had — with groceries, tins, cereals and more, all ready to be shared with our local community over the coming weeks.

Our brilliant Team Communicators had a wonderful time sorting through all of the donations and creating a beautiful Harvest Festival table.

The children also loved celebrating with their non-uniform day today!

Physical Friday!

5th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Physical Friday is here!

This term, our Year 1 and Year 2 children are getting active in a new way with Physical Friday!

Each week, we’ll be focusing on fun activities that build fine motor skills, coordination and control – all while having a great time. From Dough Disco to Flipper Flappers and more, the children will be strengthening their fingers and hands to support their writing, drawing and everyday skills.

The sessions are packed with music, movement, and lots of smiles – helping little hands get stronger and more confident.

We can’t wait to see the progress our children make as they move, groove, and improve!

Celebration Assembly 3rd Oct 2025

5th October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

What a fantastic way to end the week at West Boldon!

Today we celebrated our Golden Coin Star of the Week Assembly, where children were recognised for showing our Gold Standards.

We also had the big reveal of our Opal Golden Welly competition – the lucky winning class gained an extra 5 minutes of break time.

The Golden Coin awards are now linked to our brand-new behaviour tracking system, making it even easier to celebrate positive choices across school.

Well done to all our shining stars – you make us so proud every single day!

From Script to Sound: Class 10 Create Their Own Podcasts

1st October 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Class 10 had a great day today, recording and editing their own podcasts.

The children have spent their literacy lessons this week planning and writing a script for their podcast to interview the witch from our class book, “The Lost Happy Endings”.

This morning they learnt how to record their interview, then this afternoon they learned how to edit, cut, and split, as well as add music and sound effects.

We can’t wait to share our finished podcasts.
