Family Picnic 23rd July

11th June 2021T Shenton

Save the Date! Friday 23rd July – 1pm start.

To celebrate the end of this academic year, we thought it would be a great idea to give our families the opportunity to have a get together and catch up on all of the fun we have missed out on!

We would like to invite all of our families to a family community picnic on Friday 23rd July at 1pm. This is an open invite for extended family members also, so if you cannot make it grandparents and aunties and uncles are welcome, too!
Children must be signed out from their class teacher to join you at the picnic. If a family member cannot make it, your child will stay with their class teacher.
We have a wonderful afternoon planned with bouncy castles, face painting, ice cream van and coffee stall. We can’t wait to see you there!

School Garden

7th June 2021T Shenton

A group of parent volunteers popped into school last week to help Y5 weed our raised beds and plant vegetables. A huge thank you. The pupils loved it! Every day since the children have been tending to the vegetable patches at lunchtime.

Readathon Books

1st June 2021T Shenton

Back in Autumn, we hosted a Readathon event in school and raised money to buy new books for the children. They have arrived and they look amazing! A huge thank you to everyone that supported this event. Well done to Rose (Y6) and Will (Y4) who raised the most money. They must have read for hours!!!

Y5 Cricket Tournament

26th May 2021T Shenton

Our Y5 Cricket Team travelled to Castleview Academy to compete against other local teams today. The team performed admirably, winning all of their group games and topping the league. In the final, the team tied with Dame Dorothy Primary and the teams had to face a Super Over!

Unfortunately, we were beaten by one run. The children were amazing sports and congratulated the winners. Our children were so proud of their silver medals and the coaches heaped praise on them for their amazing attitudes and efforts.

Pedestrian Training

19th May 2021T Shenton

Some of the most vital lessons are about our safety. Children at East Boldon Junior School learn about E safety, electrical, fire and water safety – we also offer cycling proficiency and pedestrian training. The Y3s have just completed 6 weeks of pedestrian training and they were superb. They know how to cross roads safely, looking for hazards and potential dangers. The coaches remind children in Y3 to always cross roads with adults until parents decide that they are old enough to cross on their own. They are all safer now in our community. Fantastic!
