This is what Boldon is all about, community coming together to help each other out. Huge thank you to parents and local contractors for all the help over the last week with regards our new reading bus. We have got it moved to its final resting place, we can’t wait to get the kids involved in transforming it.
More exciting times here at West Boldon Primary! We haven’t had a bus driver go rogue and crash into the school field. Stagecoach have very kindly donated a bus that we are going to turn into a lunch time reading/craft area. The children were so excited when they came out at playtime and saw it!
We had a brilliant day out on Wednesday and Class 7 were amazing representatives of our school.
We walked to the metro took the metro (some of us had never been on a metro) and then walked to the old fire station in Sunderland. It’s been turned into a space for drama and theatre.
There we took part in some drama and story telling games and activities before settling down to create a new story. The children had so many awesome ideas and we put them all on a magic interactive wall! Hannah our coach, helped us choose ideas and we created two characters, a setting and the first part of our story.
She then asked us to finished the story! We all worked so hard to write our own endings and they were awesome! As a surprise, there was an illustrator working there and she created an image of our characters 🥰
What a brilliant day out!!
We do playtimes slightly different here at West Boldon Primary! It’s all about fun and the children being children. We ensure that they have the opportunity to engage with each other and learn how to play effectively. This is only the start in our plans to transform our outdoor areas……watch what we have coming soon!
How amazing do our school football team look in their new kits. Thank you so much to the PTA and Education Network (kit sponsor).
The children were over the moon to try them on in anticipation of the next match on Monday.
Year 1/2 had the most wonderful, fun-filled day at Beamish today.
As part of their Royal Patrons topic they visited the 1950s town where they took part in a toys workshop and had the chance to play with lots of toys from that era.
They also enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch before a little visit to the old school, where they had a go at using slates to write followed by a quick play of hoop rolling on the yard!
They were also very lucky to be able to ride the tram!
What a fab morning!
We have had our very own launch event which introduced the children to Rocksteady workshops that will be held in school. Today gave the children a chance to try out the instruments and learn all about being a musician in a band!
Rocksteady is an incredible opportunity for the children to learn to play their favourite songs in their very own band with a choice of drums, keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar or vocals. Lessons will take place every week during school time.
As well learning new musical skills, lessons also help the children with their confidence, wellbeing, social skills and teamwork. These fun and inclusive lessons are taught by highly trained, professional musicians who know how to inspire a life-long love of music.
At the end of each term each band will perform a concert for the school and their families, so you can see how far they have come!
‘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.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day in school, the Giving Project volunteers kindly made every member of staff, student and volunteer a beautiful Valentine’s card to wish them a ‘ Happy Valentine’s Day’.
What a fabulous day we have had in Reception.
As part of our Dimensions theme Come Fly With Me… Asia we explored Chinese culture. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring some of the traditions as well as cooking and tasting some delicious food
Our school council loved their morning trip to Newcastle and Pizza Express to make their own pizza margarita as a reward for all their hard work. They were a credit to the school as always.
