Year 1 went to the Open Zone @ The Word to learn more about coding, algorithms and debugging. We used the Lego WeDo equipment to build moving items, and controlled them through the iPads. The children then had a try of creating their own basic animations on the laptops, using the 2 Simple programme.
Infant and Junior Music Festival 2023
Some of our infant and junior children took part in South Tyneside’s Music Festival at the Customs House this week. The infant children performed in the musical ‘Two by Two in a Floating Zoo’ and the junior children performed in ‘Vikings’. They acted, sang and danced brilliantly – we couldn’t be prouder of them!
Scholastic Book Club Orders
Our new Scholastic Book Club is up and running! Go to https://schools.scholastic.co.uk/st-bedes-ne33/digital-book-club to browse the latest books and order online if you wish. For every £1 you spend on this month’s Book Club, our school will earn 20p in Scholastic Rewards.
Please place your order online by April 28th, 2023. Orders will then be delivered to school and distributed. If we are lucky enough to save some rewards points, we will spend them on some more books for our classrooms and library areas.
After everyone’s generous support at our recent book fair, our fantastic school council members helped to choose some new titles with our reward points. They chose some brilliant books for children in EYFS all the way through to Year 6. Here is our first delivery for the KS2 library area:
Y1 Liturgy
Year 1 invited their families to join them for their Eucharist Liturgy. The children read and sung beautifully and told us about the special meals they have shared with their families and friends.
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!
Y1 World Book Day
Year 1 looked amazing in their costumes for World Book Day. The children enjoyed a drawing lesson from Axel Scheffler and listened Julia Donaldson’s new book, The Baddies, read by the author on the computer. The children then showed off their writing and illustrating skills as they created their own pop up books.
A big ‘thank you’ for supporting our book fair!
Children’s Mental Health Week
This week, we’ve been celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week. Our infant classes had an assembly from Miss Dixon and our junior classes had an extra special visitor. Lisa, from BlueJay Wellness, spoke to the junior classes about how to connect with others and why our connections help our own and other people’s mental health and well-being.
In our house meetings, we created jigsaw pieces that celebrate how we all connect as a school community. These will soon be on display for all our children to see.

Safer Internet Day 2023
Safer Internet Day 2023 will take place on the 7th of February 2023, with learning based around the theme ‘Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online’.
Please see the attached guide with tips on how chatting to your child about their digital life can help them avoid online safety threats.
