6th June 2024 marked 80 years since D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history, and the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe. To mark this anniversary, Year 6 wrote some wonderfully descriptive poems entitled ‘Ten Things in a Soldier’s Pocket’ and created some artwork of the Normandy landings using oil pastels. Brilliant work, Year 6!
Feast of St Bede
To celebrate the Feast of Saint Bede, some of our wonderful Year 5 and 6 children wrote and led an assembly all about our patron saint. The children did a fantastic job of researching key facts and writing their own script. They also collectively wrote a prayer to St Bede which they shared with everyone, alongside some beautiful artwork inspired by El Salvador crosses.
St Vincent de Paul Summer Camps 2024 at Holy Island
The St Vincent de Paul (SVP) Society has some availability for children in Years 5 and 6 to attend their annual summer camp at Holy Island. The camp has been running on Holy Island for approximately 70 years. While weeks 1 and 2 are now full, there are places for weeks 3, 5 and 6 of the upcoming summer break. It will be a fantastic experience – some of our teachers even attended the camp when they were in school!

Application forms can be made using the above link, however, if you have any further queries, please contact SVP directly or speak to Mrs Kennedy when in school.
Year 6 Parent Workshop
Today, Niamh Jones, from Lifecycle Service delivered a worry workshop for our Year 6 children and their families. We discussed the different types of worries we may have and she gave us strategies to deal with them. Thank you to Niamh and our parents for their support.
Year 6 DT – Vegetable Curry
As part of our DT unit, we have looked at and evaluated the packaging of different curry sauces.
We looked through the common ingredient lists of curry sauces and identified ingredients that can cause allergies.
The children then voted which ingredients they wanted to include in their own vegetable curry.
They chose: onions, peppers, potatoes, cauliflower, garlic and tomatoes.
The children then peeled, chopped and diced the ingredients and mixed together with the dry spices and other ingredients and we slow cooked the curry.
In the afternoon, the children tasted their curry (along with some poppadoms) and evaluated their curry.
“10 out of 10” said a few children. “I wish there was some left so I could take it home!”
Safe to say, it was a huge success!
Year 6 OpenZone
The children visited the OpenZone at The Word to complete part of their ‘Programming and Sensing’ Unit.
The children enjoyed their morning out and their behaviour was impeccable.
Mini Vinnies’ Coffee Morning at St Bede’s Church
The Mini Vinnies hosted a coffee morning today after Palm Sunday Mass.
There was a Tombola stall, a delicious Cale Sale and the Mini Vinnies sold bookmarks they’d made as well as Stations of the Cross booklets in which they’d produced the beautiful artwork.
The Mini Vinnies were brilliant and the morning was a huge success – they raised £166.57 for the St Vincent de Paul Society.
Everyone had a fantastic day! Well done Mini Vinnies and a big thank you to the parents and staff who supported the event too!
Year 5/6 World Book Day
CAFOD Family Fast Day
On Friday 23rd February it was CAFOD Family Fast Day. St Bede’s families showed their commitment to helping people in the local community and further afield, by generously supporting our Lenten appeal to help us help those less fortunate than ourselves.
Children donated tins of food to the Key to Life Foodbank (an operation providing emergency food and support to people in crisis across South Tyneside) as well as donating money to CAFOD (Catholic Aid for Overseas Development), one of the largest networks in the world, helping some of the poorest and marginalised people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
We collected over £50 in monetary donations and a wealth of food products for the Key to Life Foodbank. As you can see by the photographs of our Mini Vinnies with our food donations, together we make a huge difference!
Mini Vinnies’ Coffee Morning at St Bede’s Church
The Mini Vinnies hosted their first coffee morning today after Mass. The children made some delicious cakes and brought in some great prizes for the Tombola stall.
After setting up the church hall in preparation for the coffee morning, the Mini Vinnies attended Mass and then were put to work! The morning was a huge success, with the Mini Vinnies raising £134.42 towards repairs for the church roof.
Everyone had a fantastic day and Fr Bill was thrilled with the money raised! Well done Mini Vinnies!!!
