Durham Choristers

15th March 2019 By spidrwebadmin

I was very proud of our Year 4 and Year 5 children who sang so beautifully in the Durham Choristers Outreach Concert at Durham Cathedral on Wednesday March 13th.

The children have loved learning the songs (some of them very challenging ones) and have practised nearly every day for the last six weeks. Their hard work was rewarded when they truly shone in their performance to a full cathedral of parents, grandparents and family friends.

The children really appreciated the opportunity to sing with the choristers and have three singing lessons with one of the masters from the Choristers School Durham.

It was a very happy day: the children practised in the cathedral in the morning; enjoyed their packed lunch in the cathedral grounds; and explored the cathedral in the afternoon while following the ‘Bishops Trail’.

Many thanks go to the parents and grandparents who came along to watch the concert in the afternoon. It was a truly memorable experience for the children and their families, and for staff who came along too. Mrs. Molenda and Mrs. McQueen were as thrilled with the children as I was and were full of admiration for their confident and polished performance.

Well done St. Bede’s

Year 3 Class Liturgy

Y3 celebrated our class Liturgy on the topic of Journeys. Children reflected on their personal journeys and the people who support them on the way. It was lovely that family members shared in our gathering together.

Forward Together in Hope

2nd December 2018 By spidrwebadmin

As part of the Forward Together in Hope initiative, the Mini Vinnies decorated candles to give out to families of the parish at Mass on the Feast of Christ the King.

Here are the Mini Vinnies hard at work.

Today, the Mini Vinnies went to mass at St Bede’s Church. They joined in with the Children’s Liturgy, helped dress the Jesse Tree and gave out candles to each family in the Parish.

Freya read beautifully at the Children’s Mass – she introduced the Jesse Tree and explained that the Mini Vinnies would be giving out candles so that each family could share in some private prayer together during Advent. Lauren and Abbey attended the evening Mass (Lauren attending both Masses) and they did a super job together, with Lauren reading this time.

Mrs Kennedy was so proud of the children. They were so well behaved and prayerful during Mass and there were lots of lovely comments about them from the Parishioners. Well done!

Children in Need – £193.00!

16th November 2018 By spidrwebadmin

St Bede’s Mini Vinnies organised a fundraiser for Children in Need. All children were invited to pick a rubber duck to enter into the Annual Children in Need Duck Race. Thank you to everyone who took part – we raised a fantastic £193.00.

The children gathered in the hall to watch the race live with thousands of other people around the country.


With much excitement, the children watched their ducks live on screen make their way along the dramatic course, eager to see their duck win the race.
Of course, the winner was Pond, James Pond!!

And the winning children were …
