KS2 enjoyed a fabulous afternoon on Monday for sports day. They took part in plenty of team games in their house colours before watching or taking part in the individual races. It was a very close leaderboard, but the overall winner for KS2 was Emerald House – well done Emerald!
This week Year 3 attended the Rugby Tournament organised by Boldon School. All 3 teams played incredibly well, showed great skill and sportsmanship, and we had teams place 4th, 2nd and 1st!
Some of our year 3/4 pupils had a great day out on Friday at the South Tyneside Quad kids sports competition. The gave their all at Monkton Stadium and put in some amazing performances but unfortunately it wasn’t our day. Maybe next year!
Year 3 enjoyed their final kickboxing lesson today with Mr Brown.
They have learned lots of new skills over the last six weeks including basic punches, kicks, ducks and even got involved in some pad work! They have all made such good progress in such a short space of time.
Year 3 attended the Benchball Competition this afternoon at Boldon School, where they played 3 games against Biddick Hall Juniors, Hedworth Lane Primary and East Boldon Juniors.
The Year 3 staff are so very proud of all of the children who attended. They represented our school amazingly, showed excellent sportsmanship and even though they had only practised briefly, both teams came THIRD! 🥉✨
Well done West Boldon!
KS2 children had a fantastic experience of an African dance workshop on Tuesday. It was a fun, engaging and memorable essential learning experience that allowed the children to have a broad understanding of cultural diversity.
The workshops were delivered by the fantastic Tunde Olasupo, who taught them some of the different traditional African dance moves native to this wonderfully vibrant and diverse culture.
Year 3 are thoroughly enjoying learning how to play tennis in PE this half term.
Today the children practiced their underarm throwing, catching and forehand strokes techniques.
They worked together in pairs using a range of equipment to develop their skills (cones, sponge balls and tennis racquets). They had to throw the ball underarm and let it bounce in front of their partner before hitting it back. The partner had to be ready with the racquet, holding it with two hands remembering the correct grip.
The children developed their hand-eye co-ordination, footwork and continued to worked well in teams. They thoroughly enjoy tennis, getting better and better each week. It’s also lovely to see a bit of healthy competition.
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed their dance sessions this half term, taught by the wonderful Cheryl Washbourne.
On Tuesday 21st September, all children from Years 1-6 came to school in their sports clothes to recognise National Fitness Day. We were especially lucky to have an excellent personal trainer volunteer their time to come in and compete a short session with every year group.
During their PT session, the children had to rotate around 4 different exercise stations around the hall where they had to complete different exercises such as star jumps, sit ups, ladder runs and hurdles – all activities designed to get the blood pumping!
Take a look at the fun we had!

This year, being a little bit different, we couldn’t gather in our key stages to compete in sports day. We did however, all take to the tracks to compete in our bubbles.
There were various games competed in house colours including balancing a bat on a ball, bean bag shuttle, and the sack race!
It was such good fun for all year groups – everyone had a tremendous time!
Have a look below at some short videos of each year group enjoying their turn on the tracks.
