Y4 Class Liturgy

By

In RE, Year 4 have been learning about Reconciliation.  Some of the children have been preparing for their First Reconciliation.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates the fact that we are loved and forgiven by God and that when we say sorry to one another and experience forgiveness we are experiencing God’s forgiveness.

We all know that God loves us and is always ready to forgive us, no matter what.  His love for us is unconditional.  The children wanted to share this unconditional love and friendship with their families and friends in our ‘Lost Sheep’ Reconciliation Liturgy.

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
