Year 5 had an out-of-this-world Commando Joe’s session today! The children suited up for an exciting space walk challenge, using top-notch teamwork and communication skills to collect precious lunar rock samples.
Working in pairs, they showed amazing perseverance, determination, and stellar cooperation to complete their mission successfully.
Well done, Year 5 – you truly reached for the stars!
Last night it was the turn of our Key Stage 2 children to enjoy their Halloween Disco — and what a night it was!
The children really went all out with their costumes and looked unbelievably good! There was plenty of dancing, a few fun games, and of course, some tasty hot dogs and crisps to keep the energy up!
We hope everyone had a fang-tastic evening — it’s certainly got us all in the mood for Halloween!
Spooky joke of the night:
Why didn’t the skeleton go to the party?
Because he had no body to go with!
What a spooktacular evening at West Boldon Primary!
Last night we enjoyed our very first Halloween Disco for our Reception and Key Stage 1 children — and wow, they all looked amazing in their costumes!
A huge thank you to one of our wonderful parents for providing so many fantastic decorations — the hall looked like a truly spooky, scary place!
The children had an absolute blast, and it was the perfect way to start the Halloween season!
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!
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!
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 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!
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.
Our new Nursery and Reception children have settled into life at West Boldon Primary so well!
It’s hard to believe they’ve only been with us a few short weeks, as it already feels like they’ve been part of our school family for months.
They’ve loved exploring all the different activities in the classroom and have had so much fun investigating and playing in our Early Years garden.
We’re so proud of how confidently they’ve started their journey with us!
