Our children were all amazing in our Summer Sport & Art Club this week! We took full advantage of the dry, sunny weather to enjoy a wide variety of activities around our school grounds.

The children embraced all of the activities with a great attitude and really enjoyed themselves with their friends, while developing new skills. I’m sure the club will also help many of the Infant children in their transition to the juniors in September; while it was a joy teaching our talented children.

I hope you all have a great summer with your families and continue to enjoy keeping active and creative!

Well done to all of our children who enjoyed taking part in our Sports Day in such a positive spirit in the South Shields sunshine. It was great to see them supported by our wonderful school community with so many warm smiles on the day. Congratulations to Bernadette who retained their title by a narrow 3 points with the event going down to the final race. Thank you once again to everyone who made this a lovely community event.

Congratulations to Roman who has been selected to represent South Tyneside Football team next season. He will play alongside and against the best footballers in the north east region. Roman performed superbly progressing through several trials in the summer term, before being selected for the final District squad – an incredible achievement! We are  all very proud of you at St. Bede’s Roman and hope you enjoy every moment of the experience; personally I look forward to following your exciting journey next season.

During their time at St. Bede’s, Year 6 have contributed so much to school sport and it has been lovely getting to know them and seeing them grow. Looking back nostalgically at these photos, there have been many wonderful memories of the children enjoying physical activity together. It is sad that Y6 wll be moving on this week; but good luck in your new schools where I’m sure you will thrive and thankyou for many magical moments at St. Bede’s.

Mr. McVittie

Congratulations to the many children who have represented St. Bede’s during the summer term in athletics, cricket and gymnastics. We also had the pleasure of presenting a trophy to Sam who has represented the District football team this season. Everyone has shown a lot of determination in their performances and I look forward to seeing your development next year. Thank you for your great efforts!
