As part of our topic, ‘Toys Through Time’ we made a visit to the Discovery Museum. We had great fun exploring the museum, going on a toy hunt and participating in a workshop where we got the opportunity to handle a range of old and new toys. We then had to be toy detectives and solve clues to find the hidden toys around the museum! What a lovely way to end our topic!
Year 2 Visit to Open Zone
This morning, Year 2 had an exciting and educational outing to Open Zone, where they had the chance to explore the fascinating world of digital music and coding!
The children were first introduced to the basics of digital music production, learning how to create their own unique tracks using a variety of sounds, beats, and rhythms. They worked with user-friendly music software, experimenting with different instruments and effects to compose their own little masterpieces. It was amazing to see their creativity in action as they discovered how sound can be manipulated and arranged to create something truly special!
Next, Year 2 explored the world of coding through interactive activities. They were guided through fun and engaging tasks that introduced them to the fundamentals of coding. From sequencing simple commands to solving puzzles with logic, our young learners got a real taste of the problem-solving skills that come with coding. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they worked together, learning how coding can be used to bring ideas to life.
District Cross Country – Team Silver 2025!
Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 42 children claimed a superb second place in the District Cross Country Championships today!
There were so many highlights from the day, including several children stepping in at short notice due to absences and performing so admirably. We had an incredible 6 podium finishers; the Y3 & Y4 boys won their team events, while many of our teams registered top 3 finishes in their respective year groups.
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 did their best on the day. I was so proud of how everyone supported each other throughout the event!
While we couldn’t quite retain the shield we had won 4 out of the last 5 years, it was an incredible effort that went all the way to the final race. After looking at the great photos from today, and reflecting on everyone’s amazing efforts, the wonderful community support, I feel a great sense of pride in everyone’s contributions today!
Thank you to all our brilliant runners, parent helpers and those who supported the children at Temple Park! The children will receive well deserved team silver medals in the coming few weeks.
Nexus Visit Reception
Today we had a visitor from Nexus called Deborah who talked to us about railway safety. We learned the ‘5 Golden Railway Rules’ to keep us safe on and around trains.
Year 2 Cricket Festival
Today, our Year 2 pupils s had the incredible opportunity to participate in the All Stars Cricket Festival, where they joined other local schools for a day filled with fun and friendly competition! The event was a fantastic way for the children to experience the joy of cricket and develop their teamwork, coordination, and sportsmanship skills.
Throughout the day, our budding cricketers took part in a variety of exciting cricket-based games. They learned new techniques, practiced their batting and bowling, and enjoyed playing alongside their peers from other schools in the area. It was a brilliant chance for them to work together as a team, and discover their passion for cricket.
Our pupils showed outstanding enthusiasm and determination, and we couldn’t be more proud of their participation. The event was a great success, and it was wonderful to see our children engaging with a sport that promotes not only physical fitness but also positive social interaction and teamwork.
A big thank you to the organisers and volunteers who made today’s festival possible. We look forward to more opportunities for our children to get involved in local events like this in the future!
Well done, Year 2! 🌟 🏏
County Final Ten Pin Bowling Success!
Today our Ten Pin bowlers were very proud to be representing South Tyneside in the County Finals against 16 other District winners. The children’s recent practises of playing skittles or visiting bowling alleys were certainly rewarded, as they achieved a brilliant fourth placed County finish! There were initially over 270 schools involved in the competition, so the children should all feel very pleased with their efforts! It was great to see the children embrace the occassion, show great sportsmanship and interact so positively with the other children involved. Well done everyone!
Nexus Travel Visit Nursery
We talked about metro and train safety and the colour of traffic lights. We discussed how to behave on the platform and on the train. We completed a train puzzle too!
Y3 at the Word!
Y3 enjoyed their final Spring trip to the library this morning. They changed their library books and enjoyed hearing a wonderful story, before completing some lovely activities.
Smoothie Making Fun in Yr 1!
Year 1 had a fantastic time making a variety of smoothies in class. The children explored different types of fruit, discussing their colours and flavours. Working together, they measured ingredients, chopped fruit, and used blenders, developing their teamwork skills. Afterwards, they enjoyed tasting their colourful creations and shared their thoughts on what they liked or disliked about their smoothies.
Yr 1’s Celebration of the Word – Meals
Year 1 led a beautiful Celebration of the Word on the theme of Meals, reflecting on the special meals we share and the most important meal of all – the Mass.
Through prayers, songs, and scripture, the children thought about how Jesus shared meals with his friends and gave us the gift of the Eucharist. They shared their own memories of special meals with family and friends, reminding us of the joy of coming together.
