As part of our ‘Minibeast’ topic we have been learning all about worms! Mrs Tutty very kindly provided lots of worms and compost so that we could build our very own wormery. The children helped to create layers of compost and sand and then picked up the worms and placed them very gently into the wormery.
Year 4 OpenZone
The children in Year 4 enjoyed a busy day at Open-Zone at The Word on Friday.
They enjoyed time on the laptops in the morning using Scratch programme to create shapes and in the afternoon, they used Lego and the I ‘pads to build a robot and programme the instructions to make the robot move.
Year 5’s Battle Cry Speeches
During our work on Beowulf, Year 5 wrote some persuasive speeches to try and encourage their fellow villagers to follow them into battle. The children really enjoyed using the green screen to bring their speeches to life. They all did extremely well and we all enjoyed watching them back on the big screen together. Here are some examples of the pupils’ performances.

District Basketball Champions 2022!
On Friday night our talented basketballers became South Tyneside Champions at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle. The players showed not only skill, but a lot of courage to perform magnificently in front of a capacity three thousand crowd!
In a round robin format we qualified for the final in first place, after convincing victories against Biddick Hall and Stanhope. However, the final against Stanhope became a closer and dramatic encounter.
We created several opportunities in the first half, but saw several shots bounce away off the rim of the basket. Stanhope then applied their own pressure and took the lead with an excellent long range shot.
However, we showed great character after conceding to force an equaliser through Mark. Neither side could score a winner, so the game had to be decided by penalties. Sharp shooter Maisie became the St. Bede’s match winner, as all her practice paid off with the winning free throw!
I was extremely proud of our children after watching them develop as a team in training, where they have shown so much dedication. It was also wonderful to see the great family, teacher and wider school community support from South Shields, which inspired the children on a glorious night’s basketball!
Bugs ‘n’ Stuff Workshop
To start off our minibeast topic, reception have had some very exciting visitors… Guy from Bugs ‘n’ Stuff came into our class and brought with him some MEGA-BEASTS for the children to look at, hear facts about and even touch and hold! We had the chance to touch a snake, a skink, a tarantula, a stick insect, a cockroach and a millipede. We even got to look very closely at a scorpion and some desert beetles. The children (and adults) were so brave and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop!
Showcasing our ‘Shackleton’ work: Year 5
Year 5 have recently completed a Literacy unit focusing on Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill. We really enjoyed the adventure story of the book and some of us couldn’t believe it was based on real events!
The children have produced a range of lovely work including some ice-inspired poetry and writing in role as a crew member, culminating in a biography of Shackleton at the end of the topic.
Here is a video showcasing some of their hard work. (Click the image below)
Well done, as always, Year 5!
Pancake Day 2022
Rio Carnival
To celebrate the end of our ‘Around the World’ topic we had our very own Brazilian Carnival! The children designed and made head-dresses, streamers and decorations and enjoyed dancing to samba music in their colourful clothes. They even got the chance to play on some samba drums. It was a fantastic afternoon enjoyed by all!
Year 2’s Egg Box Dragons
After finishing our Literacy topic based on the story ‘Egg Box Dragon’, Year 2 have been designing and creating their own Egg Box Dragons. We have had so much fun and even had a little dragon puppet show!
Here are their creations:
Year 4 Limerick Writing
In English, the children have been learning the features of and writing a range of poems including: haiku poems and cinquain poems.
Today the children learnt about the features of limericks and had a go at writing their own.
They worked in pairs and used an online rhyming dictionary on the i’pads to help them find rhyming words then had good fun writing their own limerick poems.
There was lots of laughter in the class as the children worked….A great, fun lesson!
Here are a few of their poems:
There was a small child named Bea
Who liked to play ball in the sea
She played with the cat
She’d jump, run and splat
And she always got things for free!
There once was a boy names Jeff
Who liked to play chess with the chef
Who liked to eat all the food
When he was in a good mood
But then he sadly turned deaf!
There was once a Minion called Bob
Who really cared about his job
He frightened his fish
That lived in a dish
Then ran and turned into a blob!
There was a boy names Mark
Who liked to be in the dark
He liked to play ball
and liked to play with all
with a friend named Lark.
