Year 1 have enjoyed a week of activities celebrating the coronation on King Charles III. The children started by writing a story called The Runaway Crown, based on the story of the Gingerbread Man. We made collage images of the Kings head and crowns and even designed some royal underpants. The class have also written a special card to The King, wishing him well on his coronation day.
The Kings Coronation 2023
Year 1 @ The Open Zone
Year 1 went to the Open Zone @ The Word to learn more about coding, algorithms and debugging. We used the Lego WeDo equipment to build moving items, and controlled them through the iPads. The children then had a try of creating their own basic animations on the laptops, using the 2 Simple programme.
Dealing with worry
On Friday, Marie delivered a workshop for our Year 6 children and their parents. They discussed the upcoming transitions and how we deal with worry. Marie gave us all some helpful strategies that we can adopt in and outside of school. Thank you Marie and thank you to all the parents that attended – we appreciate your continued support.
Reception Easter Liturgy
This morning the children performed a wonderful Liturgy for families to celebrate Easter. The children spoke, sang and danced so beautifully. As always, we are so proud of the children!
Reception trip to the Urban Factory
On Tuesday morning the children in Reception headed to the Urban Factory to take part in a Gymnastics Festival. The children had a great time balancing on beams, learning how to do forward rolls, climbing and moving around on a variety of apparatus.
DT Vegetable Curry
In DT, the children looked at a range of packaging and ingredients in a range of curries.
They had to choose the ingredients they would include in our class vegetable curry.
The children helped to peel, chop, dice, pour, cook, stir and serve the curry. All children had to evaluate the curry by its look, smell and taste….and it was a winning recipe.
Many children went back for seconds……and even thirds!!
And we think our waiters looked the part aswel!
we have to say….our waiters did a great job serving and giving out the dishes…..and they certainly looked the part!
Geography Court Room
Our Geography topic has been learning about biomes and focussing on the Tropical Rainforest biomes.
Recently, the children have been learning about deforestation and the pros and cons this brings.
Today the children were made into ‘suspects’ for the murder of Chico Mendez; a Brazilian rubber tapper, trade union leader ad environmentalist who fought to preserve the Amazon rainforest.
The children were split into groups of three which represented a ‘suspect’ and our team of ‘barristers’ looked at all the evidence and questioned the suspects. Each ‘suspect’ had to answer the barristers questions, argue their point on why they were innocent and then explain who they thought the murderer was based on the evidence.
The team of barristers asked some excellent questions and many of our suspects gave a very convincing argument on how they were innocent and pointing the blame on someone else.
A great afternoon which had all the children engaged and enthusiastic.
ratty and I thought we were in a real courtroom!
Quicksticks – 5 Star Success!
Today 5 squads consisting of 30 children from St. Bede’s enjoyed the South Tyneside Quicksticks tournament at Boldon School. It was great to see so many children take part in their first competitive event for St. Bede’s with so much enthusiasm!
All of the children dribbled and tackled their hearts out on a blustery and wet day. However, the weather didn’t dampen our spirits, as not just one but two of our teams finished top of their respective leagues on the day after playing some amazing hockey!
The Y3/4 children thoroughly deserved a great hockey day after the way they have keenly took part in practises over the winter months. Thank you also to the brilliant parent helpers who encouraged the children throughout the event.
Infant and Junior Music Festival 2023
Some of our infant and junior children took part in South Tyneside’s Music Festival at the Customs House this week. The infant children performed in the musical ‘Two by Two in a Floating Zoo’ and the junior children performed in ‘Vikings’. They acted, sang and danced brilliantly – we couldn’t be prouder of them!
