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!
What an amazing day we’ve had at West Boldon Primary!
Today, our Boldon in Need initiative was a huge success, with a fantastic amount of food donated to support local food banks. Together, we also raised an incredible £109 to help those in need – thank you so much for your generosity!
We also celebrated our Star of the Week and Golden Coin winners in assembly, recognising the wonderful achievements of our pupils. It was lovely to see such big smiles and proud moments!
To top it all off, we welcomed parents into school for our Look and Lunch event, where they got to see first hand the amazing learning happening in our classrooms.
A massive thank you to everyone who made today so special – our brilliant children, staff and supportive families. Together, we’re making a real difference!
Last week, we proudly marked Road Safety Week, focusing on raising awareness about staying safe on the roads. After a school-wide vote, we chose to receive a special road safety lesson – and our incredible Team Communicators took charge!
They organised an engaging assembly centered on the key message; Think, Stop, Wait, and Listen before crossing the road. The assembly featured interactive role play and shared vital tips for crossing safely, making it both fun and memorable for everyone!
A huge round of applause to our Team Communicators for delivering such an important message with energy and confidence!
Class 6 has been busy baking up a storm!
To wrap up their ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ topic, the children explored where different foods come from, focusing on how wheat is grown, harvested and used in food production.
With the amazing help of our Head Cook Mandy, they rolled up their sleeves to mix, knead, shape and bake their very own bread!
Not only did they enjoy tasting their delicious creations during story time, but they also got to take some home to share with their families!
What a fantastic way to learn about food and enjoy the fruits of their labour!
Stars of the Week!
What a fantastic Friday assembly at West Boldon Primary! Our Stars of the Week shone brightly as they received their well-deserved certificates for meeting our Gold Standards! A huge well done to all of you – keep up the amazing work!
We also loved having our parents join us for Look and Lunch. It’s always great to see families enjoying time in school together. If you’d like to come along next Friday, email [email protected] to book your spot. Let’s make it another wonderful week at West Boldon Primary!
Yesterday, Mr McCormack and Mrs Askwith had the pleasure of meeting South Tyneside Mayor Faye Cunningham and Mayoress Stella Mathewson at the SEN/Mental Health Event at Boldon Community Centre. It was wonderful to connect with parents, offer support around SEND and mental wellbeing, and be part of such an important conversation.
A big thank you to Lisa and everyone at Sunshine Nursery for organising this fantastic event. Your dedication to the community is truly inspiring!
As part of their ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ geography unit, Class 5 got hands-on and creative! After exploring aerial view maps of our local area, they used concrete resources to build their own messy maps, bringing the landscape to life.
To deepen their learning, they created detailed keys to highlight both human and physical features, sharpening their mapping skills while discovering more about their surroundings. Learning geography has never been this much fun!
A huge thank you to Councillor Simon Oliver for organising the installation of the new barrier and road markings outside West Boldon Primary! These improvements are already making a big difference in keeping our children safe.
Simon is continuing to push for even more work to fill in the remaining gaps, but we’re currently awaiting updates from the council. Watch this space!
What a fantastic week in Arc 2!
We’ve been so busy with exciting activities and learning adventures.
Maths – We’re loving our maths lessons! This week, we’ve been comparing numbers, exploring number bonds and adding/subtracting 1, 10 and 100.
Literacy – We wrapped up our mini Bonfire Night unit by writing beautiful descriptions of fireworks displays. Plus, we’ve been working hard on phonics and spelling!
Forest School – Back to nature! We made clay people and animals and even had our first fire of the year – such a magical experience.
Provision – Creativity is everywhere in Arc 2! From block building to playdough creations and artistic masterpieces in the creative area, there’s been so much making and building happening.
Here’s not another brilliant week ahead!
