This afternoon, the Infant Christmas Party was full of festive cheer! Year 1 enjoyed fun activities, music, and treats, creating a wonderful start to the Christmas week.
Nursery Nativity
Look at us all dressed up for our Nativity play. Don’t we all look fabulous!
Y3 Celebration of the Word
Well done to Year 3 who shared a lovely class celebration of the word together today.
Y3 Skipping Into Christmas!!
All of Year 3 enjoyed a fantastic Skipping festival today!
Everyone enjoyed learning a variety of individual, pairs and team skipping skills. Meanwhile, there was a wonderful backdrop of Christmas music playing to encourage everyone and to get us into the festive spirit.
Thank you to our fantastic parent helpers who supported the children by swinging ropes and bringing plenty of festive cheer!
Year 1 Christingle Celebration
Year 1 have been learning all about Christingles and what each part represents. The orange reminds us of the world. The red ribbon represents the blood of Christ and His sacrifice for us. The sweets symbolise God’s gifts and the fruits of the earth. Finally, the candle reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the World.
After making our own Christingles, we gathered in the school hall for a special Celebration of the Word by candlelight. It was a beautiful moment to reflect on the meaning of Advent and Christmas, and to share the light of Jesus with others.
The children even made extra Christingles to give as gifts to other classes, spreading hope, joy, and peace throughout our school community.
Star Academy Infant Nativity
Our infants took centre stage in this year’s Nativity, “Star Academy,” and truly wowed us with their amazing singing and acting skills.
The children brought the story of the Nativity to life with confidence, joy, and creativity. Their hard work and enthusiasm shone through every moment.
A huge thank you to our incredible pupils, supportive families, and Mr Richardson, who wrote the play, for making this a magical event – you were all stars!
Y3 – Our Young Scientists!
Our young scientists in Year 3 have been investigating how much fat various liquids and foods contain. They pressed each item against plain paper and once it had dried looked for translucent stains when the paper was held up to the light.
They discovered, as many predicted that cake and margarine left greasy stains. The children did really well working together and made sure they conducted fair tests.
Y5/6 District Gymnastics Finals 2025 – Team Silver Success!
Our Y5/6 Gymnastics A team came within a mere 0.05 points of becoming District Champions today; in an incredibly tight and high-quality competition at The Urban Factory. Ultimately, we claimed brilliant District team silver medals, while Hugo earned a wonderful individual bronze medal as we successfully featured on both podiums.
This was the first time we had developed a St. Bede’s Y5/6 Gymnastics team and despite some unfortunate injuries, we all believed our determined squad could really challenge for the District title.
In training, our gymnasts enthusiastically created imaginative routines that included a variety of skills, travels, leaps and spins. Today everyone showed great courage and composure to perform so well in front of the four judges. Personally, I watched on in awe as our children showcased their inspiring abilities- I was so proud of you all!
It was wonderful to see the team spirit among our children as they all supported each other throughout. As well as competing, all of our gymnasts enjoyed exploring a variety of fun activities at the brilliant Urban factory.
Thank you to our fantastic parent helper who encouraged our children during the event. Thank you also to the parents, who practised the routine with their children at home – they all did so well today!
Year 1 Multi Skills Festival at Temple Park
Year 1 had a fantastic morning at Temple Park, where they took part in a range of festive themed multi-skills activities. The children enjoyed trying out different challenges, including throwing, jumping and running events, all designed to help develop their coordination, teamwork and confidence.
Everyone looked wonderful in their Christmas attire, bringing lots of cheer and excitement to the festival.
Reception’s Special Trip to the Post Office!
Our Reception children had a magical outing this week as they visited the Post Office to post their very own letters to Santa!
The children were so excited to share their wishes and carefully posted their envelopes into the post box, ready for their journey to the North Pole.
Now we’ll all be waiting eagerly for Santa’s reply…
