Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 41 children became South Tyneside Team Cross Country Champions today! It was wonderful to have so many boys and girls representing our school in a single event. The children have shown incredible dedication to train for the competition and everyone strived for personal best performances on the day.

I was so proud of how everyone supported each other and the amazing parental support at Temple Park. We are still the only small school to have won the event, so it shows the power of teamship where everyone supports each other and is happy to celebrate each other’s successes along the way!

Well done to our Y1 & Y2 who were all brilliant in our summer sport & well being club, despite the wet weather. Wherever possible, we got outside to enjoy a wide variety of games, and whenever we were forced back inside the children were equally positive enjoying indoor activities. I’m sure the club will help many of our children in their transition to the juniors, while it was wonderful fun teaching our talented children. I hope you all have a great summer with your families and enjoy continuing to get active!

Well done to our lower juniors who happily launched themselves in to a variety of exciting activities this week. They were all amazing and it was wonderful to see them have a great time!

Our amazing children put on a magnificent sports day for us all today!  Everyone tried their best in their events with a smile; while it was wonderful to see the children supporting their friends throughout our festival of sport. Thank you to our school community who made the event so special by turning up in large numbers on our rearranged date and supporting all the children with great enthuiasm. Sport really does have the power bring us together in a happy, positive ways. Enjoy the summer break with your families and I hope you all enjoy staying active together.
