On Sunday, the First Holy Communion children celebrated their ‘Going Forth’ Mass, where they received their certificates from Fr Bill.
Here they are together and with their Catechists.
County Y1/2 Gymnastics Finalists at RGS!
Our Y1/2 Gymnasts represented both South Tyneside and St. Bede’s today at the prestigious Royal Grammar School in Jesmond. They performed with confidence and composure, as they delivered excellent routines to the judges! While they didn’t medal on this occasion, they can be so proud of their fabulous performances!
Our team also had a great time enjoying a variety of fun gymnastics activities in a wonderful setting. Thank you to everyone for your efforts, I was so proud of you all today; I’m sure we’ll be back competing with the very best next year!
Year 5/6 Athletics Event
Three teams of pupils from Year 5 and Year 6 enjoyed competing at Monkton Stadium in the Quadkids Athletics event this week. Everyone tried so hard and should be extremely pleased with their performances and 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.
Year 6 D-Day 80 Poetry
6th June 2024 marked 80 years since D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history, and the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe. To mark this anniversary, Year 6 wrote some wonderfully descriptive poems entitled ‘Ten Things in a Soldier’s Pocket’ and created some artwork of the Normandy landings using oil pastels. Brilliant work, Year 6!
Feast of St Bede
To celebrate the Feast of Saint Bede, some of our wonderful Year 5 and 6 children wrote and led an assembly all about our patron saint. The children did a fantastic job of researching key facts and writing their own script. They also collectively wrote a prayer to St Bede which they shared with everyone, alongside some beautiful artwork inspired by El Salvador crosses.
Y1 Outdoor and Adventure
The Year 1 children showcased their map reading skills by tackling various orienteering challenges at South Marine Park. Working in teams, they searched for clues and gathered materials. After completing the course, they used the collected materials to construct a home for their team’s bear.
Y3/4 District Athletics Champions 2024!
Thirty Y3/4 athletes had a wonderful time competing in the District Athletics Championships at Monkton Stadium; while we have also just found out that our A Team are District Champions – a great achievement considering there were 47 teams taking part!
All of our children had a great attitude in training and everyone aimed for personal best performances in the finals. Once again, the support throughout the squad for each other was so positive and up lifting- well done everyone!
The A team will now go on to represent South Tyneside in the County Finals on Friday 21st June at Monkton Stadium. They will compete against the best athletes from Newcastle, North Tyneside, Sunderland and Gateshead.
It was great to see so much support for St. Bede’s from our school community inside the stadium, which really helped inspire our teams.
Congratulations to our whole squad on a great day’s athletics and good luck to our A team in the County Finals!
First Holy Communion Day
Some of our Year 4 children made their first Holy Communion this morning. It was a wonderful Mass – the Catechists had prepared the children well, the church was filled with families and friends, the children read beautifully and looked amazing! Everyone was so proud of them!
After Mass, the children made their way to the church hall which had been decorated with beautiful artwork, prayers and cards made by their St Bede’s family. The children then tucked into their First Holy Communion breakfast and continued the celebrations at home with their families.
Girls District Cricket Champions 2024!
Our three girls cricket teams had a great time at Whitburn CC today; where our A team were crowned District champions!
All of our girls have shown a lot of dedication in recent months playing cricket at lunchtimes; and it was wonderful to see them all enjoying themselves today in the District finals.
The A team showed a lot of outstanding batting, bowling, fielding skills and consistency to win all of their games; while the incredible team sprit they displayed was wonderful to watch!
Thank you to all of the girls for your positive attitude towards cricket in recent months, as it has been a pleasure to see you all embrace the game. Finally, thanks to our great parental helpers at Whitburn CC.
