Well done to our juniors who launched themselves into a variety of fun sporting and creative activities! Everyone developed new skills and the images below show their fantastic efforts throughout. Thank you for coming to our club!
Boccia!
Our brilliant new Boccia squad were fantastic today in their first tournament! Three St. Bede’s squads played with a lot of skill and game intelligence in a high level competition. Despite a valiant effort after registering many wins, our teams just missed out on the finals today.
However, it has been wonderful watching the children develop in practises and it was great watching them have so much fun with their friends at the event. I was very proud of all three of our Boccia teams!
Thank you to our brilliant parent helpers for supporting our children today. The parents got into the positive spirit of the event so much that they enjoyed a few games of Boccia themselves- brilliant!
Basketball Bronze in Grand Finals Night!
Our fantastic basketballers picked up well deserved bronze medals in the Grand Finals at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle on Friday night.
Since qualifying for the finals, I have been very impressed with how the children have been driven to enjoy their practises and improve. A difficult draw saw us paired with Stanhope in the semi finals who had beaten us (10-2) in qualifying.
However, our team had grown a lot in recent weeks and were more than ready for the challenge. Despite falling behind in the first few seconds, we responded by taking the game to the opposition. A mixture of good passing and driving runs forward saw us build up pressure, as we searched for an equaliser. Half way through the match we deservedly drew level with an excellent looping shot from Joseph. We continued to maintain the initiative and were unfortunate on a few occasions not to take the lead.
However, Stanhope were an excellent opponent and were always a threat on the break. Literally on the hooter, against the run of play Stanhope scored a decisive basket to book their place in the final and to conclude a spectacular contest.
I was so proud of our players for not only their response to going behind, but for the way they showcased their skills in such a grand arena. After getting past us in by far the game of the night, Stanhope went on to comfortably win the final.
Congratulations to our basketballers on contributing so much to a brilliant match. With the majority of our squad being so young, it felt that this wasn’t just the end of a great cup run, but also just the beginning of an exciting new side.
Thank you to our amazing parents and staff who supported the team so positively in Newcastle. Our children did themselves and their school proud, as they grew immeasurably on a wonderful sporting night.
Y3 Egyptologists!
Today Durham University brought Ancient Egypt alive in our Y3 classroom!
The children became Egyptologists, as they used their historical enquiry skills to form theories about what ancient artefacts were used for thousands of years ago. We also made creative amulets from clay, explored mummies and took part in a drama weighing of the heart ceremony in a fun packed day!
Brilliant Basketballers Qualify for District Grand Final!
Today three teams of St. Bede’s basketballers enjoyed the prestigious Hoops4Health Tournament at the Vertu Motors Arena, the home of the Newcastle Eagles. Amazingly, one of our teams qualified for the District Grand Finals event that takes place on Friday 8th March (before & during the Eagles match against the Manchester Giants).
I was firstly super proud that everyone came to school for the event in the half term holidays! In preparation, all of the children had trained enthusiastically over the winter months at lunchtimes. The children’s performances today really showed that practice pays off; as two of our teams reached the afternoon play-offs!
Throughout the day it was lovely to see our teams display good sportsmanship by shaking hands with their opponents after games. Meanwhile, it was up lifting for the children to see how many parents and family members who had travelled to Newcastle to support them at the event.
Thank you to our brilliant parent helpers who enabled us to have so many teams involved in the tournament. Finally, thank you to all of the children for the determination and skills displayed, which carried you all a long way on a wonderful day. I was extremely proud of you all as you have put so much into your basketball in recent months!
