Y3 @ The Urban Factory

14th February 2019 By spidrwebadmin

For the first time since opening, St. Bede’s and all of Y3 enjoyed the Urban Factory experience. Cheer-leading, Tumbling, Gymnastics, Free-running and Dance were all packed into a fun-filled morning.

It was uplifting to see the children cooperatively work together on routines and produce a final, polished whole class performance on the floor. Everyone also enjoyed, using the wide range of equipment that helped them to develop an exciting variety of skills!

I will be sending out further information to all parents about the opportunities on offer at the Urban Factory before half-term. Who knows, this might be the sport that your child develops a passion and aptitude for in the future.

Basketballers at New Arena!

19th January 2019 By spidrwebadmin

The basketballers enjoyed their unique experience of playing at the new Eagles Community Arena in Newcastle on Friday night. We dominated our semi-final after playing some wonderful team basketball against a resolute Holy Trinity. Our opening basket involved a fluent passing move that involved the whole team. Unfortunately we couldn’t add to our slender lead, despite countless shots and near misses which bounced agonisingly around the rim of the basket.

Dramatically, against the run of play the opposition showed great spirit to salvage a draw with a last gasp equaliser. Holy Trinity’s good fortune held up in the penalties, as they put us out from the free throw line.

Nevertheless, I was delighted with the team’s wonderful performance in Newcastle. They gave a wonderful account of themselves, despite ‘lady luck’ deserting us. The team showed a lot of good sportsmanship to immediately praise Holy Trinity for their efforts, and wish them luck for the final. Thank you to all of the families who supported our children in Newcastle.

County Sportshall Athletics Finals!

14th January 2019 By spidrwebadmin

After achieving District success in November, St. Bede’s represented South Tyneside for the fourth consecutive year in the Sportshall Athletics County Finals today. Despite having a squad made up of Y4 and Y5’s, the children showed incredible character and produced many determined performances. They valiantly encouraged and cheered for each other, displaying wonderful togetherness throughout.

Miss Moffett and I were very proud of everyone’s contribution to the team. Thank you to the parents who supported our children at the event.
