Hoops4Health Basketball Success!

By

Fours squads of St. Bede’s basketballers enjoyed the prestigious Hoops4Health Tournament at the home the Newcastle Eagles. In preparation, all of the children trained enthusiastically over the winter months. The children’s performances today really showed that hard work pays off; as all four of our teams reached the afternoon Play-Offs! Amazingly, one of our teams then went on to qualify for the District Grand Finals that take place next Friday (before & during the Eagles match against the London Lions).

Thank you to all of the children for your dedicated efforts in the build up to the event and the wonderful teamship on display, which carried us a long way on a wonderful day. I was extremely proud of you all!

Reception visit the Discovery Museum

By

Reception have been on a very exciting trip to the Discovery Museum as part of our ‘Toys Through Time’ topic. The children took part in a workshop where they had the opportunity to handle and play with a range of old and new toys. They were then asked to sort them into groups including; old and new, what material they were made from and whether they were dull or colourful. After the workshop the children enjoyed their packed lunches (something they had been talking about for days at school!) On the afternoon the children completed a toy trail around the museum and had great fun in the science exhibition. The children were exceptionally well behaved and represented our school so beautifully.

Year 2 Programming @ The OpenZone

By

Year 2 have enjoyed a day of programming at The OpenZone @ The Word. The children experimented with some exciting codes on a variety of programmes including WeDo2 and ScratchJnr. The children build a range of lego models and programmed them to move and detect motion. They also created their own characters and backgrounds on ScratchJnr and began to programme their own stories using speech. All of the children worked so hard and had a brilliant day. Thanks again to our wonderful parent helpers!

World Book Day

This week, we celebrated World Book Day in school. We talked about our love of reading in an assembly with Mrs Devine (or Mrs De Vil in this instance!) and the benefits of sharing a story. Pupils then took part in some World Book Day activities in class.

Pupils were invited to come into school dressed as one of their favourite book characters. Everybody looked wonderful!
