This term Year 3 have been learning how to make a fruit crumble! They have investigated seasonal fruits, carbon footprints and food packaging, then learned how to design and make a crumble; including cooking techniques and food hygiene. They have worked really hard in DT and our final products were excellent, we hope you all enjoyed tasting them at home!
Stations of the Cross – Years 3 and 4
Years 3 and 4 led the Stations of the Cross at St Bede’s Church today together with their families and parishioners.
It was a lovely service and the children read beautifully, allowing us time to think about the Passion of Christ and reflect on Jesus’ love for us and the sacrifice He made for us.

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!
Y3 Egyptologists!
Today Durham University brought Ancient Egypt alive in our Y3 classroom!
The children became Egyptologists, as they used their historical enquiry skills to form theories about what ancient artefacts were used for thousands of years ago. We also made creative amulets from clay, explored mummies and took part in a drama weighing of the heart ceremony in a fun packed day!
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!!!
Commissioning of the Mini Vinnies
In the Autumn term, we asked for children to volunteer to become Mini Vinnies. We were astounded by the huge number of applications received from our KS2 children. It was so difficult to choose between the thoughtful applications of those children wanting to make a difference in their community, so, with over 40 applications, we decided to run 2 Mini Vinnies’ groups. Here they are being commissioned today.
Y3 Multi-Skills PB Champions!
Our Y3 Multi-Skills teams enjoyed double success at Temple Park today; where our A Team won the competition overall and our B team came a brilliant third! Both our teams had a great time trying a wide variety of activities as they aimed to put in personal best performances.
It was great to watch our children enjoying the event with their friends, while still looking to do their best throughout.
Thank you to our brilliant parent helpers who really supported and encouraged our children during the event! Finally congratulations to all of Y3 – I was really proud of you all today!
KS2 Christmas Concert – Hosanna Rock
The children in KS2 delivered a fantastic performance when they sang songs from ‘Hosanna Rock’ in Church today. Accompanied by Mr Richardson on the piano, the children sang, narrated, and acted beautifully. We were all so proud of them! Thank you to everyone involved in the concert and to our wonderful families for supporting them!
Y3 Runners Walking in the Footsteps of Sir Mo Farah
The Y3 Cross Country champions had an exciting morning doing the ‘Mobot’ and walking in the footprints of Sir Mo Farah, which have been installed at South Shields interchange. The children were invited by Nexus to promote the legendary Olympian and 6 times Great North Run champion’s footprints after their recent Cross Country success.
In true festive spirit the children were given a selection box for their cheery smiles; which you will be able to see on Tyne Tees News and the local press in the coming days.
