Today the children took part in a very important workshop all about how to cross the road safely. We learned some actions to help us ‘Stop, look, listen, think!’ and practiced crossing a road using traffic lights.
Hoop Stars!
Fours teams of St. Bede’s Basketballers participated in the Hoops4Health tournament at Temple Park. All of our sides enjoyed the day, while two met in the semi-finals. One of our sides then went on to beat East Boldon in an exciting Play-Off Final. They will now play in the District Grand Final (Friday 7th February) at the Newcastle Eagles Community Arena.
We were all extremely proud of all the children who trained enthusiastically for the event, while it was great to see lots of brilliant parental support.
Young Archaeologists in Y3!
Y3 enjoyed a wonderful Prehistory day at Durham University. The children analysed primary sources from the Stone Age, completed an exciting gallery trail and produced Iron Age emblems by metal embossing.
Everyone had a great day, while it was also lovely to take in a few of the sites like Durham Cathedral!
St Bede’s Church Nativity
The children from St Bede’s Church Children’s Liturgy, some of the Mini Vinnies and some of our school children put on a fantastic Nativity performance at church yesterday morning.
The actors were great and the Narrators read beautifully. Everything was coordinated by Mrs Wheeler and Mrs Elwood. Well done everyone!
Carols by Candlelight
The choir sang at St Bede’s Carols by Candlelight Service tonight. They sang beautifully and received many lovely comments from the parishioners and visitors. Well done girls!
Advent Candles
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.
