With Christ at our side to guide us,

Our PTA will be holding a Monster Ball on Tuesday 1st November (please see letter below). In preparation for this, we would welcome any donations of fancy dress costumes you may have at home.

We hope to see you there!
World Mental Health Day is Monday 10th October. The children will be having an assembly on The 5 Ways To Wellbeing. These are simple steps we all can take to improve our Mental Health and Well-being.
Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 42 children became South Tyneside Cross Country Team Champions today! It was wonderful to have so many boys and girls involved in a single event. The children have shown incredible dedication to train for the competition and everyone strived for personal best performances. I was so proud of how everyone supported each other and the amazing parental support at Temple Park!
Our mini archaeologists in Y3 enjoyed an interesting Stone-Bronze Age day at Durham University! 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.
We are currently in the process of setting up access to a ‘worry monster’ in each classroom. This is a place where they can write their name on a post-it note with any worry they may have and “feed” it to the worry monster. This can happen throughout the day and teaching staff regularly check the worry monsters, find a quiet place to talk to the child and address any worries that they might have. This is an opportunity for the children to share any worries and for us to try and help and offer support.
While the children are not at school, we are aware that they may still have worries or questions that they might want to share or ask. We want to be able to continue to offer this type of support as much as we can while we are currently not in school. So, we have now set up a dedicated email address. This is for the children to use. They can email us with any worries or questions they may have. Mrs Welsh, Mrs Devine and Mrs Mackley will all have access to the email service, so we will hopefully be able to address any worries.
The email address is ineedtotalk@st-bedes.s-tyneside.sch.uk
Thirty Y3 & Y4 children enjoyed our Summer Club where they took part in a wide variety of sports and art activities. The children developed a lot of skills, while having a lot of fun with their friends. Everyone was a credit to themselves and we hope you all continue to have a wonderful summer break!
a wonderful summer with your families!
Last week 12 Key Stage 2 children took park in a musical performance called, ‘Footsteps into Paradise’ in Durham Cathedral. The performance was an immersive musical and art experience, celebrating our togetherness as a Trust, enabling the children to explore their identity and spirit of community. Some themes of the show included; respect, belief, reality of war, remembrance, empathy, acceptance, equality and kindness. The children put so much effort into the rehearsals and sang so beautifully on the night.
The Y3 children enjoyed an adapted trip to Marine Park, after our beach event was unfortunately cancelled. The children had fun playing parachute activities, team building games and other fun sports. The morning was topped off with a trip to Minchella’s for a well earned ice cream. The children were a credit to themselves throughout the trip!
KS2 enjoyed an excellent display this morning from Bike 3SIXTY, they saw bike tricks and stunts, learned tips on how to improve their balance when riding and learned about how practice and resilience lead to success!
