Foundation of Light Visit – Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds!

27th June 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

Today, we welcome (as we do every Friday) the Foundation of Light team into school! They delivered a brilliant session all about healthy lifestyles, helping our children understand that staying healthy isn’t just about exercise—it’s also about eating well too.

Using the Eatwell Guide, the children explored how to build a balanced diet and learned why nutrition is just as important as keeping active.

We loved the Food hunt around the grounds!

A huge thank you to the team for making health and wellbeing fun, engaging and easy to understand!

 

Key to Life – Harvest Assembly

24th October 2024Fiona Goodwin

A huge thank you to our amazing West Boldon Primary Community!

On Tuesday 15th October, Marie from Key to Life on Boldon Lane, South Shields, joined us at our assembly to accept food donations organised by our School Council. Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve collected enough food to support families across South Tyneside for the next two weeks!

This initiative reflects our key British Values of mutual respect and individual liberty. Our children have shown tremendous compassion by helping those in need, ensuring others can live with dignity, even during tough times.

A massive thank you to all the kind and caring families who made this possible. Your contributions will make a real difference in our local community and highlight the power of empathy and responsibility.

Blue and Yellow for Ukraine

25th March 2022Miss K. Wilkinson

Today, children were invited to come to school to raise awareness, raise funds and show solidarity with Ukraine. They were able to come to school in non-uniform, wearing something blue, yellow or a combination of the two. We are really proud of how our children embraced this – just look at these lovely photos!

Note to parents: Thank you so much for your donations. We will be collecting again at the KS2 Mother’s Day Assemblies and then we will let you know how much we have raised for the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.
