Thank you to everyone that donated money to Children in Need on Friday. We raised a fantastic £231.66 which will make a huge difference to children’s lives across the UK.
The Youth Sport Trust, an outstanding PE organisation have launched a free daily 30-minute online club, which is available for all children and young people to participate in some sport, develop skills and of course have fun .
The club will be held every day from 5pm and it is accessed through a live video on their Youtube channel. The club will be led by Athlete Mentors with different backgrounds, abilities and from different sports. It will run Monday to Friday until the 18th December.
Each session will have a specific theme based on the day which will be…
Adventure Monday – this might involve getting children to do floor, wall climbing and map reading all within their living room.
Tuesday Play – imaginative play utilising resources in the house to create games and activities to get active.
Wild Wednesday – some high tempo competitive activities involving personal challenges.
Thinking Thursday – introducing cognitive challenges for children through movement. Active noughts and crosses and introducing an element of competition – whether that be against themselves, the clock, their siblings or remotely with friends.
Fun Friday – a chance for children to let loose and have some fun. Dancing and doing what makes them feel good.
This is a great opportunity for children who are missing out on their usual clubs to develop skills and learn something new.

We all had a spooktacular Halloween Day in Year 2 today! The children’s costumes were absolutely FANTASTIC, thank you for making such an effort to create a wonderful visual scarefest for all! We’ve had games, music, costume parades, spooky stories and dancing as well as some scary maths and phonics work.
Have a lovely half term break with the children, we are looking forward to having them back in November already.
Year 6 enjoyed an actioned packed day at West Boldon Lodge. We took part in a number of activities including a mini-beast hunt and pond dipping. We also made our own classification keys.
To launch our new history topic, Year 5 welcomed “That History Bloke” to St. Bede’s. We spent the morning looking at Anglo Saxon artifacts and learning all about the lives of Anglo Saxon monks.
We pledged ourselves to the life of a monk using the Anglo Saxon alphabet, then finished the morning playing morrells (an Anglo Saxon game).
The children had a brilliant morning!
To launch our new history topic, Year 6 welcomed “That History Bloke” to St. Bede’s. We spent the morning looking at Viking artifacts and listening to the saga of Ragnar Lodbrok, a Viking King, and how he saved the fair maiden Thora from the Lingworm.
We handled replica Viking weapons, armour and shields, then finished the morning playing Tafl (a Viking game).
We learnt a lot in such a short space of time!
Reception have had some very interesting visitors this week to start off their topic all about minibeasts. Guy from BugsnStuff brought in some Mega-Beasts for the children to look at, touch and hold including a snake, a tarantula, a cockroach, stick insects, a millipede, a frog and a lizard. They children were very brave indeed!
