With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.
Year 2 was buzzing on Tuesday with the chatter of the Mini Vinnies hard at work decorating Advent candles.
On Sunday, as it was the first Sunday of Advent, the Mini Vinnies then handed out their beautiful candles to each family within St Bede’s parish as they went into Mass.
The Mini Vinnies also enjoyed attending the Children’s Liturgy and getting involved in learning about and dressing the Jesse Tree.
Reception walked to the Post Office this morning to post their letters to Santa.
Reception have had a very exciting afternoon learning all about ‘stranger danger’ and even got to try some outfits on – including handcuffs!
Anti-Bullying Week happens in schools across England each November. This year’s Anti-Bullying Week has the theme ‘Change Starts With Us’ and is happening from Monday 11th November – Friday 15th November 2019.
To kick-start ‘Anti-Bullying Week’ the school council delivered a whole school assembly about how making small, simple changes, we can break the cycle and create a safe environment for everyone.
When it comes to bullying ‘CHANGE STARTS WITH US!’
Reception have had a very exciting day getting dressed up for Halloween! We had a go at carving out pumpkins, making spider webs and ended the day with a fantastic disco!
Our junior council members did a great job of selling books at the coffee afternoon on Friday. Thank you for all of your help!
The school nurses came into reception to talk about the importance of washing our hands. We listened to a lovely story, sang a song and talked about when and how to wash our hands properly.
The year 3 and 4 council members took part in an event at the Town Hall called Staryland; a workshop that allowed them to explore democracy and the election and voting process.
The Mini Vinnies made some lovely flowers for the May Procession at St Bede’s Church and they were joined at mass today by children making their First Holy Communion as well as children from St Bede’s Children’s Liturgy group.
They processed into church carrying their flowers and placed them around the feet of Mary in celebration of Our Lady.
The children performed a beautiful Liturgy for their mams to celebrate Mother’s Day. The children spoke and sang so confidently. Afterwards, the children spent time with their mams planting a sunflower and making a photo frame. A lovely afternoon had by all!
