Year 4 History Workshop

By

Year 4 Ancient Greek Workshop from ‘That History Bloke.’

In History, the children in Year 4 are learning about the ‘Ancient Greeks’.

On Tuesday, they enjoyed a very interesting and informative visit from Richard, ‘That History Bloke’.

They explored:

  • Greek Gods
  • Spartan, Athenian, Corinthian and Ancient Greek people
  • Life in Ancient Greece
  • Greek artefacts
  • Greek instruments, games and toys
  • Greek words
  • Writing the Greek alphabet using ink and a stylus

Richard also serenaded the class with his lyre and panpipes and the children dressed up in the regalia of a Hoplite soldier.

It was a fantastic experience and Richard brought the topic to life with his amazing knowledge and enthusiasm.

, We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks which is part of our History topic this term. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us.

District Cross Country Champions 2022!

By

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!

Worry Monster

By

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

Footsteps into Paradise Musical at Durham Cathedral

By

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.

Year 4 Art

By

In Art, the children have been learning about Gustav Klimt and studied some of his pieces.

The children used the ideas of Klimt’s intricate detail and use of ‘Zentangles’ and re-created one of the patterns from the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer. They then created a relief by making this pattern 3D by using rice.

Next the children will embellish their patterns using foil to replicate the metallic look used in Klimt’s work.

(More pictures to follow with finished pieces)

 

 

 

 

Year 4 Science – Invertebrate Hunt

By

As part of our Science: Living Things and their Habitats, the children explored the areas of the school grounds to complete an invertebrate hunt.

The children used pots with a magnifying glass to look closely at the different creatures and followed a classification key to identify what type of invertebrate it was. We discovered the best place to find a range of habitats and creatures was on the school field next to the trim trail. The children had a great time exploring and managed to find a broad range of invertebrates on their hunt.
