Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 42 children became South Tyneside Cross Country Team Champions today! It was wonderful to have so many boys and girls involved in a single event. The children have shown incredible dedication to train for the competition and everyone strived for personal best performances. I was so proud of how everyone supported each other and the amazing parental support at Temple Park!
Y3 Durham Prehistory Visit
Our mini archaeologists in Y3 enjoyed an interesting Stone-Bronze Age day at Durham University! We learned about the chronology of Prehistory and analysed an exciting range of ancient artefacts. The children completed an exciting gallery trail and also considered what we could deduce from the bones of a skeleton. Y3 conducted themselves superbly throughout the visit and even took in some of the sites of a picturesque Durham.
A Visit From the School Nurses
The school nurses came into reception this morning to talk about the importance of washing our hands. We listened to a lovely story, sang a song and talked about when and how to wash our hands properly.
The nurses also talked to the children about the importance of looking after our teeth by eating healthy food and brushing them twice a day.
Worry Monster
We are currently in the process of setting up access to a ‘worry monster’ in each classroom. This is a place where they can write their name on a post-it note with any worry they may have and “feed” it to the worry monster. This can happen throughout the day and teaching staff regularly check the worry monsters, find a quiet place to talk to the child and address any worries that they might have. This is an opportunity for the children to share any worries and for us to try and help and offer support.
While the children are not at school, we are aware that they may still have worries or questions that they might want to share or ask. We want to be able to continue to offer this type of support as much as we can while we are currently not in school. So, we have now set up a dedicated email address. This is for the children to use. They can email us with any worries or questions they may have. Mrs Welsh, Mrs Devine and Mrs Mackley will all have access to the email service, so we will hopefully be able to address any worries.
The email address is ineedtotalk@st-bedes.s-tyneside.sch.uk

a wonderful summer with your families!
Year 6 Disco
We had a fantastic evening on Monday to celebrate our final week in Year 6. The children were great company and enjoyed playing games and dancing. They are a credit to their parents and we will miss them all very much!
Y5 ‘The Lost Thing’
Year 5 have recently been exploring ‘The Lost Thing’ by Shaun Tan. They innovated upon the original text to write their own story then published them as a short book with illustrations. Good job, Year 5!
Footsteps into Paradise Musical at Durham Cathedral
Last week 12 Key Stage 2 children took park in a musical performance called, ‘Footsteps into Paradise’ in Durham Cathedral. The performance was an immersive musical and art experience, celebrating our togetherness as a Trust, enabling the children to explore their identity and spirit of community. Some themes of the show included; respect, belief, reality of war, remembrance, empathy, acceptance, equality and kindness. The children put so much effort into the rehearsals and sang so beautifully on the night.
Reception Visit Hall Hill Farm
Reception (and staff) had a brilliant day at Hall Hill Farm yesterday. They got to go on a very bumpy tractor ride, feed the animals, hold rabbits, guinea pigs and chicks and even bottle feed a lamb. Of course the highlight of the day was lunch, which we enjoyed together in the barn! The children were so beautifully behaved and loved every second of the day. It was such a lovely way to end our year together. Also, a big thank you to our lovely parent helpers.
Year 2 at Hall Hill Farm
Year 2 have had a fantastic day at Hall Hill Farm. We started with a look at some of the animals on the farm and feed the llamas, alpacas, sheep and goats. The children then handled some of the smaller animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits.
We also enjoyed a very bumpy tractor ride around the farm and had the chance to handle some chicks and feed a lamb. We ended our fun filled day with some time in the play park. Year 2 were very well behaved today and Richard (our guide) was very impressed with our wealth of farm animal knowledge. What a fantastic end of year trip we have had!
