Y3 enjoyed orienteering using their mapwork skills around South Marine Park today. They navigated around the park in teams to find letters and numbers which helped them to solve a variety of puzzles. During the course, they also embarked on six problem solving activities, where they had to use communication and teamwork skills. The children were fantastic and really embraced the challenges in a wonderful festival!
Big Sing 2023
The school choir took part in The Big Sing 2023 at The Sage Gateshead. They enjoyed singing a selection of songs alongside many other schools.
Dance Festival 2023
Our Monday night dance club recently performed a medley of songs from Matilda to a packed out audience at the Customs House in the South Tyneside Dance Festival 2023. The children have been very enthusiastic in dance club and worked extremely hard to remember all of the routine. For some of our children this was their first time on stage.
Disability Cricket Camps

Double Tennis Success!
Our Y3 tennis players enjoyed double success at Boldon Tennis Club; where our A Team won the competition and our B team came a brilliant second! Both of our teams really shone under the bright sunshine today, with outstanding performances in both the singles matches and tennis skills challenges!
It was great to watch our children enjoying the event with their friends, while still playing skilful, determined tennis. I know how much the children have enjoyed playing tennis together this summer, so it was extra special to see both teams achieve great success at the competition.
Thank you to our brilliant parent supporters at Boldon who gave the children wonderful support, which meant they never wilted in the beautiful sunshine.
Y5/6 Quadkids Athletics Competition
Three teams of pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 enjoyed competing at Monkton Stadium in the Quadkids Athletics event last week. There were some brilliant results in the 75m sprint, 600m, howler throw and standing long jump. Everyone tried so hard and should be extremely pleased with their performances. Team A placed 5th out of a staggering 48 teams!
Most importantly, I was very proud to see everyone supporting each other with lots of enthusiasm and kind words. The children had buckets of positive energy and it was a delight to hear them cheering each other on.
A huge ‘well done’ from Mrs Usher 🙂
First Holy Communion
Some of the children in Year 4 celebrated their First Holy Communion on Saturday 10th June. It was a wonderful service: the children looked amazing, read well, and were supported by a packed church of family and friends.
The children enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the church hall and then carried on their celebrations elsewhere.
Please keep all of the children in your prayers as they continue their journey of faith!
Year 4’s visit to Arbeia Roman Fort
As part of their History work on the Romans, year 4 had a fun and interesting day at Arbeia Roman Fort. After a brisk march to the Fort, the children enjoyed their first workshop which was an object-handling archaeology investigation. The children rifled through the leader’s ‘rubbish bag’ to find out what the items told them about life in 2023, then went on to handle Roman artefacts using their observational skills to discover what the objects told them about the life of the people who lived and worked at Arbeia Roman Fort.
Our second activity of the day was an interactive tour of the site utilising real and replica artefacts to bring the history of Arbeia and the lives of the Roman soldiers to life. The children visited the Fort, looked at the site where the granaries were, the barracks (soldiers’ and centurion’s quarters as well as the commanding officer’s house) and the latrines!
After lots of research and lots of walking, the children were ravenous and tucked into their lunch with gusto!
The afternoon was spent in the museum, looking at various artefacts, quizzing on them and drawing them to create a beautiful frieze that we took back to display in school.

May Procession
During the month of May we honour Mary, the mother of Jesus. On Wednesday, we held our May Procession and service in Mary’s honour, offering our prayers to her. We were blessed with beautiful weather, processing from the school grounds into the hall where the service was held. Father Bill welcomed the children at the start of the celebration and gave us a blessing at the end.
Year 4 led the celebration, with children from each class bringing flowers to place in the vase at the focal point dedicated to Mary. The children shared a reading, prayers, a litany, sang some beautiful hymns, and one of the children crowned Mary with a lovely garland of flowers.
It was a joyous occasion, and we were impressed with the children’s engagement and beautiful singing throughout.
