Year 5’s visit to The Word

St Bede’s Art Gallery

By

🎨 Our First St Bede’s Art Gallery!

We’re delighted to invite you to explore our very first St Bede’s Art Gallery, a celebration of creativity, reflection, and faith. Over the past academic year, children from Nursery to Year 5 have taken part in the Spirited Arts competition, exploring the theme “All God’s Creatures.”

Each piece of artwork has been thoughtfully linked to words from Scripture, helping our pupils reflect on the beauty and meaning of God’s creation. From colourful collages to intricate sculptures, the children have poured their hearts into expressing how animals and nature connect to faith, care, and wonder.

🖼️ The gallery is on display for you to enjoy from Monday to Wednesday this week on your way to and from the curriculum meetings. We hope it brings you joy, inspiration, and pride in the incredible work your children have created.

This is our first time hosting an art gallery, and we hope to make it a yearly tradition—not only to showcase our children’s talents, but also to help raise funds for the school.

📖 Before you leave, please take a moment to share your feedback or ideas in the book provided at the door. Your thoughts will help us grow and make future exhibitions even more special.

Thank you for your continued support.

Summer Sport & Art Club 2025!

By

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!

Sports Day 2025!

By

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.

Year 6 – A Sporting Memory Lane …

By

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
