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!

School Choir – Dementia Friendly Service

8th January 2025Fiona Goodwin

Our amazing school choir had the privilege of performing at the Dementia Friendly Service held at Sacred Heart Church in Boldon. The children sang so beautifully, and it was pure joy when the audience joined in with a few festive favourites, creating such a warm and heartwarming atmosphere.

The service was led by Rev. Emma, with Fr. Keith offering a special blessing to everyone. The children were absolutely thrilled to receive thoughtful gifts of knitted angels and chocolates, which made the day even more memorable.

A huge thank you to the Nurturing Dementia Management Group for organising this wonderful event and inviting us to be part of such a special occasion. It was an experience we’ll cherish forever!

Whirlwind last week of term!

8th January 2025Fiona Goodwin

What a whirlwind of a week and an amazing end to a busy term we had here at West Boldon Primary!

That week alone, we had:

  • Reception activities
  • Key Stage 1 performance
  • Key Stage 2 performance
  • Reception & Key Stage 1 Christmas Party
  • Key Stage 2 Christmas Party

And, in true spirit of Christmas, we were so proud to deliver 20 Christmas hampers, generously donated by the local Catholic Church, to help people nominated within the Boldon community. This highlighted to us just how important being a community-focused school is to us.

A huge thank you to our incredible staff, pupils, families and community for making this term so special!

 

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!

Rocksteady Concert!

19th December 2024Fiona Goodwin

This morning, our amazing children from Year 1 to Year 6 took the stage and absolutely rocked it! They formed bands, sang their hearts out, and played instruments inspired by their favourite artists. Every performance was fantastic, and we couldn’t be prouder!

Who knows? We may have the next Ed Sheeran or Pink Floyd right here at West Boldon!

If your child would like to join Rocksteady and be part of the next concert at Easter, please let the school office know.

A huge WELL DONE to all our incredible musicians – you smashed it!

KS2 Christmas Party!

19th December 2024Fiona Goodwin

This evening, we hosted our SECOND Christmas Party Night for our incredible Key Stage 2 children, and it was a HUGE success!

Over 150 children joined us for a night of dancing, party games, and delicious treats. Everyone looked absolutely amazing in their party outfits and had an unforgettable time!

A massive thank you to everyone who made this event possible, and to our wonderful children for brining so much energy and festive cheer!

West Boldon Primary is definitely feeling the Christmas spirit!

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!

Christmas Dinner Day!

19th December 2024Fiona Goodwin

Christmas Lunch at West Boldon Primary isn’t just the best in Boldon, not just the best  in South Tyneside…it’s the BEST IN THE WORLD!

Today, some lucky parents joined us for Look and Lunch and got to experience Mandy and her team’s fantastic feast firsthand – and what an extravaganza it was!

It was also lovely to gather some of the children to sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas as a heartfelt thank you to our amazing catering team. What a special moment to celebrate their hard work and festive spirit!

A huge thank you to Mandy and the whole team for making Christmas magic happen on a plate. You’ve truly outdone yourselves!

Carols around the Christmas Tree!

12th December 2024Fiona Goodwin

What a magical evening, taking our school choir to Carols Around the Tree! This truly marks the start of Christmas! A massive thank you to the Mayor of South Tyneside for joining us and to the amazing West Boldon residents for organising such a fantastic community event. Our choir sang their hearts out and made us all so proud. Nights like these remind us of the power of coming together as a community!

Art Club Update!

12th December 2024Fiona Goodwin

Our talented Art Club members have been hard at work creating incredible pieces inspired by animals from around the world!

  • They started by sketching seals from the Arctic, followed by vibrant African animals framed with traditional borders using oil pastels.
  • Next, they crafted a stunning watercolour ocean scene, complete with an under-the-sea collage. Along the way, the children explored analogous colours on the colour wheel and used complementary colours to bring their turtles to life!
  • To wrap up the term, they created beautiful clay Christmas tree decorations, painting them with acrylics to add a festive touch.

We’re so proud of their creativity and hard work!
