This half term our phase assemblies are:

British Values assemblies: Tolerance – Understanding that we all don’t share the same beliefs and values. Respecting the values, ideas and beliefs of others whilst not imposing our own others.

• Embracing diversity
• The importance of religion, traditions, cultural heritage and preferences
• Tackling stereotyping, labelling, prejudice and discrimination

Cultural Capital: Creativity takes courage (the arts)

Cultural capital is defined as the accumulation of knowledge, behaviours, and skills that a student can draw upon and which demonstrates their cultural awareness, knowledge and competence; it is one of the key ingredients a student will draw upon to be successful in society, their career and the world of work.

Ten of our pupils welcomed the players onto the pitch at the weekend and were given the best seats at the Stadium of Light for the victory against Plymouth. The children waved flags, visited the Beacon of Light and roared the team to victory.

We had a great day and will have memories to cherish forever!

It was a privilege for Mr Shenton to be invited along to visit the amazing elves at Norah’s North Pole last week. They were so grateful for the hundreds of toys and selection boxes sent to vulnerable children across the north east by the people of East Boldon. The scale of the operation has to be seen to be believed – aisles and aisles of toys for children! Absolutely amazing! From everyone in East Boldon, we would like to thank Norah’s family for what they achieve every year! Incredible

We have been very busy in school this last few weeks. Check out the images of The Holly and The Ivy Roadshow, Winter Warmer activities, our Christmas Movie Nights, Christmas Dinner and our Y4 outdoor carols. We hope that you all have a great break!

Thank you so much for attending our carol service this afternoon. We weren’t able to sing in St George’s Church this year but it was lovely singing in front of Grange Park and we loved it when you joined in (passers by too).

We were so proud of our Year 4s and hope you enjoyed their lovely singing as much as we did!!

The pupils had an unbelievable first hand experience of what life was like during the Blitz. Fascinating! They had an amazing time supplementing their understanding of life during the WW2 period here in Tyne and Wear through a visit to The Victoria Tunnel. They explored where thousands sought shelter in Newcastle during air raids and what those hours underground would have been like. Not pleasurable for sure! After this, they heard from Basil, a local man, who was evacuated at the age of 10 to Barnard Castle. This really brought evacuation to life as he shared stories and artefacts.
