Y3 enjoyed a delicious banquet as they discovered the different foods that the Ancient Egyptians enjoyed. Children considered the texture, appearance, smell and most satisfyingly the taste of the dishes; that included baba ghanoush, hummus and falafel. The food was very popular and the children concluded that they would be very happy to eat like an Egyptian!
Y3 Outdoor Adventurers!
Y3 used their navigational map reading skills to solve a variety of orienteering puzzles at South Marine Park. The children worked as teams to complete a physical course, while having plenty of fun in the summer sunshine!
Y3 Athletics at Monkton Stadium!
Y3 enjoyed sprinting, long jumping, howler throwing and a 400m run in a brilliant Athletics Festival at Monkton Stadium. It was wonderful having the whole class participating and great to see the children achieving lots of determined, personal best performances! I was very proud of how you trained and performed at this fantastic venue- well done to everyone!
Y3 Produce Ancient Papyrus!
In Y3 children have been making papyrus – a type of paper that was first made in Ancient Egypt for writing. The children then decorated their papyrus using oil pastels to produce colourful images of famous Egyptian Gods. The children had a great time and discovered how intelligent the Ancient Egyptians were as they traded with items made from papyrus throughout the Mediterranean.
Y3 Ancient Egypt Day!
The children in Y3 enjoyed an inspirational visit from ‘That History Bloke’, who taught the children about the role of a Pharaoh, the amazing pyramids and the process of mummification. Everyone enjoyed writing in beautiful hieroglyphics and playing some exciting Egyptian games!
Chance2Shine Cricket Day
It was wonderful to see children in Years 1-6 enjoying playing cricket together today. Coaches from Durham CCC and South Shields CC led the event, in which it was great to see plenty of smiles as children batted, bowled and practised their catching.
St. Bede’s Skip into Summer!
It has been wonderful to see different classes from throughout the school getting involved with our Skip into Summer Project! Every week children are having fun and learning different skipping skills with their friends.
Y3 Superheroes on RND 21!
Red Nose Day is day for superheroes and Y3 certainly delivered with fantastic costumes and kind fundraising. Meanwhile the children have received many certificates since returning to school for their great efforts.
Y3 Masked Readers on World Book Day!
The Y3 children enjoyed a unique World Book Day that involved children learning in school and at home. Children designed masks that represented one of their favourite books and took part in a wide variety of Literacy activities. One of the activities involved learning writing tips from famous authors; I’m sure many of our Y3 children will go on to become fantastic writers in the future!
Y3 Keeping Creative & Active!
Y3 have worked incredibly hard this term in all of their subjects and Miss Moffett and I are extremely proud of you all! Here are some images of the children being creative and active at home and in school. Enjoy your half term with your families!
