Our two Y3 Tennis teams managed to scoop not only gold, but also silver medals in the Y3 Tennis Challenge event at Westoe Tennis Club. The St. Bede’s A Team will go on to represent South Tyneside in the County Finals on Thursday 20th June at the Sunderland Tennis Centre. Congratulations to both teams on their exceptional performances!
District Cricket Champions 2019
Today our two cricket teams took part in the biggest competition in the region, with 40 teams involved. The B team went unbeaten all day, coming joint top of their group at a sunny South Shields Cricket Club.
The A team were also in top form, and in an exciting finale they managed a record run chase to become South Tyneside Champions. They will proudly go on to represent the borough in the County Finals in Durham.
The children were a credit to the school, as they displayed the true ‘spirit of cricket’ throughout.
Lennox’s England Opportunity
Lennox Heslop enjoyed an England Talent ID Day at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland. He met an inspirational role model in England international George Ferguson (partially sighted) at the event. Lennox had a great time and scored plenty of goals on the new roof top pitch.

Chance2Shine in All Stars Cricket
The children in Y1-Y3 were given a given a ‘Chance2Shine’ by Durham CC today; with an invitation to get involved in All Stars Cricket this summer at South Shields Cricket Club. All of the children had a great time catching, throwing and hitting sixes!
County Final Quicksticks
Our Y4 Quicksticks team represented South Tyneside in the County Finals today. The children played with their usual determination and put in lots of fantastic performances, just missing out on a semi-final spot.
Well done to all of the players and Miss Moffett who has trained the children for the event.

Fab Footballers!
The school football team completed their league campaign with a 3-0 victory over St. Mary’s RC. The boys have enjoyed a very good season where they have finished Runners Up in the Coyne League. The St. Bede’s players have always played the game in the right spirit and have been a credit to their school.
The team have been superbly captained by Will Watson, who amazingly made his school football debut in Y2. Mahad Uzair has developed into an excellent goalkeeper, while Lucas Britton has grown in stature in each game in defence. Mason Williams and Ryley Wardale have been both versatile and effective in defence or in midfield. Jude Hill has been full of energy and possesses a cultured left foot, while Saul Connor has given the team plenty of quality up front. Meanwhile, Jack Murphy finishes the season as our top goal scorer, quite an achievement for the young, creative midfielder.
Thank you very much to the parents who have supported the boys in the League this season. Finally, thank you to the boys for your commitment and entertaining play throughout.
Star Skippers!
In recent months, it has been wonderful to see the yard filled with children from Y3 and Y4 keeping fit by trying a variety of skipping movements. Subsequently, the skipping team put in a wonderful performance at the South Tyneside Skipping Competition.
Amazingly, every child in the squad achieved a gold, silver or bronze certificate in their individual or team event. In a close contest all the way to the end, we came a highly creditable close second. This was a fantastic effort considering half of our squad were only Y3.
I was so proud of the team spirit and wonderful dedication to practice after school, lunchtimes and at playtime to reach such a high standard. I am also very proud of how selfless Miss Moffett and Mrs McVittie have been to make time to choreograph and teach a brilliant Skip Dance to the children.
Y3 @ The Urban Factory
For the first time since opening, St. Bede’s and all of Y3 enjoyed the Urban Factory experience. Cheer-leading, Tumbling, Gymnastics, Free-running and Dance were all packed into a fun-filled morning.
It was uplifting to see the children cooperatively work together on routines and produce a final, polished whole class performance on the floor. Everyone also enjoyed, using the wide range of equipment that helped them to develop an exciting variety of skills!
I will be sending out further information to all parents about the opportunities on offer at the Urban Factory before half-term. Who knows, this might be the sport that your child develops a passion and aptitude for in the future.
Basketballers at New Arena!
The basketballers enjoyed their unique experience of playing at the new Eagles Community Arena in Newcastle on Friday night. We dominated our semi-final after playing some wonderful team basketball against a resolute Holy Trinity. Our opening basket involved a fluent passing move that involved the whole team. Unfortunately we couldn’t add to our slender lead, despite countless shots and near misses which bounced agonisingly around the rim of the basket.
Dramatically, against the run of play the opposition showed great spirit to salvage a draw with a last gasp equaliser. Holy Trinity’s good fortune held up in the penalties, as they put us out from the free throw line.
Nevertheless, I was delighted with the team’s wonderful performance in Newcastle. They gave a wonderful account of themselves, despite ‘lady luck’ deserting us. The team showed a lot of good sportsmanship to immediately praise Holy Trinity for their efforts, and wish them luck for the final. Thank you to all of the families who supported our children in Newcastle.
