Year 5 had the fantastic opportunity to work with some of the players from Newcastle Eagles this week. They took part in the wonderful Hoops 4 Health roadshow. The afternoon centred around ways to stay active and healthy. Plus, there was the opportunity to play some basketball! Year 5 worked very hard and had a brilliant afternoon. Here are some photos of what we got up to:

Y5/6 District Gymnastics Finals 2025 – Team Silver Success!
Our Y5/6 Gymnastics A team came within a mere 0.05 points of becoming District Champions today; in an incredibly tight and high-quality competition at The Urban Factory. Ultimately, we claimed brilliant District team silver medals, while Hugo earned a wonderful individual bronze medal as we successfully featured on both podiums.
This was the first time we had developed a St. Bede’s Y5/6 Gymnastics team and despite some unfortunate injuries, we all believed our determined squad could really challenge for the District title.
In training, our gymnasts enthusiastically created imaginative routines that included a variety of skills, travels, leaps and spins. Today everyone showed great courage and composure to perform so well in front of the four judges. Personally, I watched on in awe as our children showcased their inspiring abilities- I was so proud of you all!
It was wonderful to see the team spirit among our children as they all supported each other throughout. As well as competing, all of our gymnasts enjoyed exploring a variety of fun activities at the brilliant Urban factory.
Thank you to our fantastic parent helper who encouraged our children during the event. Thank you also to the parents, who practised the routine with their children at home – they all did so well today!

Y3 Durham Prehistory Visit!
Our Y3 mini-archaeologists enjoyed an interesting Stone-Bronze Age day at the Museum of Archaeology in Durham! We learned about the chronology of Prehistory and analysed an exciting range of ancient artefacts. The children completed an exciting gallery trail and also considered what we could deduce from the bones of a skeleton. Y3 conducted themselves superbly throughout the visit and even took in some of the sites of a picturesque Durham. Thank you also to our great parent helpers!
