Over the last few weeks, we’ve been on the hunt for new Play Ambassadors to help us at lunchtimes! Miss Ingoe collected applications, held interviews, and selected 20 fantastic children to take on this important role.
This week Team One met to plan, learn their responsibilities, and hit the ground running! You can spot them in the yard by their colourful lanyards.
They’ve been helping younger children, organising activities, and keeping all the play equipment in check!
A huge WELL DONE to Team One – you’ve been absolutely amazing!
Playtime at West Boldon Primary is better than ever!
We are so excited about our newest OPAL addition; large play barrels! These have quickly become a huge hit with the children, sparking endless creativity and teamwork.
This week, the children got together to transform the barrels into a giant tunnel, and it’s been incredible to see all the imaginative ways they’ve been using it! From balancing and climbing to crawling and negotiating turns, it’s been wonderful to watch children of all ages playing together and developing essential skills along the way.
And guess what? Even our amazing OPAL staff couldn’t resist joining in the fun! Seeing them get stuck into the action has made playtime even more special.
At West Boldon, we believe in the power of outdoor play to bring creativity, joy, and collaboration to life Thank you to everyone who helps make moments like these possible.
What will the children come up with next? We can’t wait to find out!
What a magical morning at West Boldon Primary! Today, the whole school was treated to an in-school pantomime of Aladdin – and it was simply phenomenal!
The children were captivated by the performances, laughing, singing and joining in with the fun. Even some of our teachers couldn’t resist getting up to dance – who knew we had such movers in the staffroom?
This has truly set the tone for the festive season – Christmas has officially begun at West Boldon! Thank you to the amazing cast for bringing the magic of panto to us.
This week, we proudly celebrated Anti-Bullying Week 2024 with the inspiring theme of ‘Showing Acts of Kindness Every Day’. Our children wholeheartedly embraced this message, voting to make kindness the heart of our efforts – and we couldn’t be prouder of their dedication!
Highlights of the Week:
A huge well done to everyone at West Boldon Primary School! This week, you demonstrated how kindness can help create a culture of care, empathy, and inclusion, showing the world what it means to build a bully-free community.
Let’s continue to carry this message forward, every day!
Lunchtimes at West Boldon Primary have never been more exciting thanks to OPAL play! We’ve seen such incredible creativity, teamwork, and joy as the children dive into activities that bring learning and play together.
One of the most popular areas has been the den-building zone, where students can gather materials, share ideas and work together to create their own little hideaways. From imaginative forts to cozy spaces, it’s wonderful to watch friendships deepen and see how proud they are of what they’ve built.
These moments not only make lunchtimes fun but also support important skills like problem solving, cooperation and resilience. A big thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible – seeing the smiles and hearing the laughter from our playground is priceless!
What a spooktacular evening we had at Monday night’s Reception & KS1 Halloween Disco! The little ghouls and ghosts danced the night away in their amazing costumes, with plenty of treats (and a few tricks!) to keep the fun going.
A big thankyou to all the parents, staff and volunteers who made this magical night happen – we couldn’t have done it without you!
Hope everyone enjoyed the games, music and all the sweet goodies. We’re already looking forward to the next big event!
Our budding artists are travelling the world through Art! Last week, we honed our sketching and shading skills to draw majestic Antarctic seals. Today, we explored vibrant traditional African patterns and created unique borders, before sketching African animals using our developing drawing techniques.
Next week, it’s all about colour! We’ll bring our sketches to life with oil pastels, then dive under the sea to discover even more amazing animals.
