Y4 Class Liturgy

By

In RE, Year 4 have been learning about Reconciliation.  Some of the children have been preparing for their First Reconciliation.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates the fact that we are loved and forgiven by God and that when we say sorry to one another and experience forgiveness we are experiencing God’s forgiveness.

We all know that God loves us and is always ready to forgive us, no matter what.  His love for us is unconditional.  The children wanted to share this unconditional love and friendship with their families and friends in our ‘Lost Sheep’ Reconciliation Liturgy.

Hoops 4 Health

By

The children in Year 5 and 6 enjoyed an afternoon with some Newcastle Eagles players this week.

The roadshow concentrated on health messages such as mental and social well-being, how to stay fit and look after the heart and lungs, stay hydrated with tap water and eating a balanced diet. The children also had the opportunity to play some basketball with the Eagles players!

The children were fantastic at answering the players’ questions and taking part in the activities.

Well done everyone!

Year 1’s Autumn Walk

By

Year 1 went on a walk to the Marine Park this afternoon, as part of their Science seasonal change topic. As the children walked to and around the park, they notices some of the berries and seeds that were on the trees and bushes. They also commented upon the different autumnal colours on the leaves.

The children then collected leaves and other natural items to make leaf people and animals, similar to the ones we had read about in the story ‘Leaf Man’ at school.

As a treat, we finished the walk with a little play in the play park, for all of their hard work this half term.

 

 

Year 6 Class Liturgy

By

Year 6 had the pleasure of inviting their parents into school to watch their class liturgy.

It was great to have everyone back into the school to enjoy a time of worship, reflection and prayer.

The children did a great job and particularly enjoyed the juice and biscuits afterwards!

Year 6 RAP Event

By

The children attended The Community Fire Station in South Shields and took part in the RAP event which looked at how to stay safe in many different scenarios, including; fire safety, water safety and how to stay safe when out playing.

The children had a great time and learned a lot and particularly enjoyed the live fire demonstration at the end.

We travelled to and from the event via public transport and the children were so well behaved and a credit to the school. We even received a comment from another passenger on the bus about how well behaved they were.

Well done Year 6!

Year 4 History Workshop

By

Year 4 Ancient Greek Workshop from ‘That History Bloke.’

In History, the children in Year 4 are learning about the ‘Ancient Greeks’.

On Tuesday, they enjoyed a very interesting and informative visit from Richard, ‘That History Bloke’.

They explored:

  • Greek Gods
  • Spartan, Athenian, Corinthian and Ancient Greek people
  • Life in Ancient Greece
  • Greek artefacts
  • Greek instruments, games and toys
  • Greek words
  • Writing the Greek alphabet using ink and a stylus

Richard also serenaded the class with his lyre and panpipes and the children dressed up in the regalia of a Hoplite soldier.

It was a fantastic experience and Richard brought the topic to life with his amazing knowledge and enthusiasm.

, We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks which is part of our History topic this term. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us.

Regional Basketball Finals!

By

On Friday evening, our basketballers represented South Tyneside in the Champion of Champions Finals at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle. Our team played with a lot of passion and often dominated possession in a series of high quality games. Despite remaining unbeaten in our pool, we narrowly missed out on a place in the Grand Final. However, we finished the tournament with a lot of pride, claiming third place after beating Wellfield Middle School in the 3rd Place Play Off.

The players had been training for the event since returning to school in September and gave an excellent account of themselves. In one game, they showed their incredible spirit to come back from 6-0 down to gain an exciting 8-8 draw!

One hundred and forty seven teams were involved in the Hoops4health tournament in our region; so to become District Champions, reach the Champion of Champions finals, remain unbeaten throughout the entirety of the season and secure third place in north east region was an incredible effort!

I was so proud of the whole squad for how they have developed as both players and people throughout the basketball season. Meanwhile, it was truly uplifting to see the brilliant support from the St. Bede’s family community; who travelled to Newcastle to support our children on a great night of sport!

Year 5 History Workshop

By

This week, Year 5 had a special visit from ‘That History Bloke.’

We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks which is part of our History topic this term. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us.

Just as Richard intended, we learned lots and we had lots of fun!
