District Cricket Champions 2019

By

Today our two cricket teams took part in the biggest competition in the region, with 40 teams involved. The B team went unbeaten all day, coming joint top of their group at a sunny South Shields Cricket Club.

The A team were also in top form, and in an exciting finale they managed a record run chase to become South Tyneside Champions. They will proudly go on to represent the borough in the County Finals in Durham.

The children were a credit to the school, as they displayed the true ‘spirit of cricket’ throughout.

Lennox’s England Opportunity

Lennox Heslop enjoyed an England Talent ID Day at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland. He met an inspirational role model in England international George Ferguson (partially sighted) at the event. Lennox had a great time and scored plenty of goals on the new roof top pitch.

Our Y4 Quicksticks team represented South Tyneside in the County Finals today. The children played with their usual determination and put in lots of fantastic performances, just missing out on a semi-final spot.

Well done to all of the players and Miss Moffett who has trained the children for the event.

Fab Footballers!

By

The school football team completed their league campaign with a 3-0 victory over St. Mary’s RC. The boys have enjoyed a very good season where they have finished Runners Up in the Coyne League. The St. Bede’s players have always played the game in the right spirit and have been a credit to their school.

The team have been superbly captained by Will Watson, who amazingly made his school football debut in Y2. Mahad Uzair has developed into an excellent goalkeeper, while Lucas Britton has grown in stature in each game in defence. Mason Williams and Ryley Wardale have been both versatile and effective in defence or in midfield. Jude Hill has been full of energy and possesses a cultured left foot, while Saul Connor has given the team plenty of quality up front. Meanwhile, Jack Murphy finishes the season as our top goal scorer, quite an achievement for the young, creative midfielder.

Thank you very much to the parents who have supported the boys in the League this season. Finally, thank you to the boys for your commitment and entertaining play throughout.

Exploring Sound

The young Scientists explored the science of sound today when they made homemade harmonicas. What a noisy lot they are!

Star Skippers!

By

In recent months, it has been wonderful to see the yard filled with children from Y3 and Y4 keeping fit by trying a variety of skipping movements. Subsequently, the skipping team put in a wonderful performance at the South Tyneside Skipping Competition.

Amazingly, every child in the squad achieved a gold, silver or bronze certificate in their individual or team event. In a close contest all the way to the end, we came a highly creditable close second. This was a fantastic effort considering half of our squad were only Y3.

I was so proud of the team spirit and wonderful dedication to practice after school, lunchtimes and at playtime to reach such a high standard. I am also very proud of how selfless Miss Moffett and Mrs McVittie have been to make time to choreograph and teach a brilliant Skip Dance to the children.

Eggciting Experiments!

By

Did you know you can stand on eggs without breaking them?

This week in Science Club we tested this theory and found a dozen eggs could support our weight. We discovered that the curved design of an egg spreads our weight evenly which means the eggs won’t break when we stand on them.
