Our two Y3 tennis teams had a lot of fun taking part in tennis matches and skills challenges at Boldon Tennis Club today! The A team amassed an incredible 19 out of 20 possible team points and qualified for the County Finals at Silksworth in June. It was wonderful to see the children enjoying the day by doing their best and supporting each other every step of the way!
Y3 Conservation Project
The Y3 children have been litter picking at our seafront. They have been inspired to get involved in looking after our coastline after reading Yvonne Carlin Page’s fictional story of Lily Windy and the Witch. One of the themes connected to the book is conservation of ‘Windy’s Way’ a local setting in the book.
I am delighted how much the Y3 children respect their local area and they jumped at the chance to help clean Sandhaven Beach. The children worked tirelessly litter picking with their friends on the beach. With climate change becoming more prevalent, I think the environment of South Shields will be in safe hands with Y3.
After their energetic cleaning, the children were kindly rewarded with some juice provided by the manager of the Sand Dancer. Emma Lewell-Buck MP also visited the children and praised them for their efforts.
Year 3 Democracy Event
This morning the year 3 school councillors visited the Town Hall for their annual democracy event. The event is designed to explore the ideas that underpin democracy and the democratic process in a fun and creative way.
Initially the children took part in a story-telling session called, ‘Staryland’. The Staryland story describes a magical island far away that, through a particular turn of events, finds itself in need of a new leader. The story asked the children to think about how the islanders could overcome the problem, how a new leader could be found, and what qualities that leader should possess.
After the story-telling session, the children were able to go and sit in the council chambers where they met two possible candidates and listened to their speeches about why they should be voted the next leader of Staryland.
The children then got to cast their votes inside of a polling booth and post them into a ballot box. Whilst the children enjoyed juice and biscuits the votes were counted and the new leader of Staryland was crowned!
Well done to the children who attended the event, their behaviour was exemplary and they were a credit to our school!
Y3 Author Visit!
Y3 enjoyed a visit from local author Yvonne Carlin Page today. The talented writer of Lily Windy and the Witch told the children about her inspiring journey to become an author. The children enjoyed hearing more about their favourite characters from her books, which they are currently enjoying during our story time.
We then played some fun literary games, where children won some fantastic prizes and stickers. Y3 also had the opportunity to receive a signed copy of one of Yvonne’s books. Meanwhile, it was lovely to hear some of the children speaking of wanting to emulate Yvonne and become a writer one day themselves. Y3 are already looking forward to their next writing lesson!
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!

Year 3 Christmas Party
Year 3’s Christmas Party
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.
Y3’s ICT Visit to The Open Zone!
Y3 enjoyed a day of creating algorithms, programming and de-bugging at The Open Zone. The children worked collaboratively to problem solve using materials such as Lego. The children gave an excellent account of themselves and were a credit to the school.
Thank you to the Y3 parents who managed to drop off and collect their children from the venue, which enabled the visit to take place.
