Today Year 2 created vehicles as part of their Design and Technology unit, wheels and axles. The children used their designs from the previous lesson to create their wonderful vehicles. They used a range of tools to cut wooden axles and used washers to secure each wheel. They explored a range of materials to help make their vehicles stronger and more stable. To finish the children used lots of crafts to finish and embellish their vehicles, using bottle tops for lids and seats! Here are some pictures of the children in action and also their final products.
BCCET KS1 Maths Challenge
Four children from Year 2 were selected to take part in the BCCET KS1 Maths Challenge at The Briery in Sunderland. They spent the afternoon working their socks off with arithmetic, problem solving and reasoning activities. They played games such as tangrams, spot the shapes, target number and finished with a game of play your cards right. The four chosen children won the group challenge and are very excited to spend their gift cards.
What a wonderful afternoon we had!
Year 2’s Egg Box Dragons

Year 2 Norman Cornish Art Workshop
Year 2 have had the wonderful opportunity to take part in the Remaking Beamish Art project. As part of the project, we had Robert from Beamish Museum visit us to teach us all about Norman Cornish and the mining history. The children explored some of Norman’s artwork alongside having a go at sketching and shading. They then had the opportunity to handle and explore some historical objects from the museum relating to the homes and mines found in Cornish’s artwork. We will be visiting Beamish Museum later in the Spring to celebrate the opening of Norman’s replica home on Front Street Terrace. We cannot wait!
Year 2’s Puppets
For this half term, Year 2 have been looking at puppets for their textiles DT project. The children researched, designed, created, finished and evaluated their mini-beast puppets. Here are their wonderful final products!
Year 2 Christmas Party
Year 2 had a wonderful afternoon enjoying their Christmas Party. They danced, played games and enjoyed their lovely party food.
We had a surprise visitor at St Bede’s this morning. We hope all our children and families have a very Merry Christmas!
Carol Concerts
Here are the links to the children’s Carol Concert recordings, it is a shame parents could not be with us again this year, but we hope you enjoy our songs and poem and they bring a little festive cheer into your homes. From everyone at St. Bede’s we would like to wish our whole school community a very Merry Christmas!

Odd Socks Day 2021
In aid of Anti-Bullying Week the children came into school today wearing a pair of odd socks. It’s been a great opportunity to celebrate what makes us unique and individual.
Children in Need 2021
The children have had a fabulous day raising money for Children in Need. We wore Pudsey ears to school and took part in the Annual Duck Race. I’m thrilled to say that we have raised a whopping £205.00 so far! Well done to all of the children – your kind donations will make a huge difference to children’s lives around the UK.
