Year 4 Science – Invertebrate Hunt

29th June 2022 By vickidavis

As part of our Science: Living Things and their Habitats, the children explored the areas of the school grounds to complete an invertebrate hunt.

The children used pots with a magnifying glass to look closely at the different creatures and followed a classification key to identify what type of invertebrate it was. We discovered the best place to find a range of habitats and creatures was on the school field next to the trim trail. The children had a great time exploring and managed to find a broad range of invertebrates on their hunt.

Y3/4 South Tyneside Athletics

21st May 2022 By bmcvittie

Three St. Bede’s teams enjoyed competing at Monkton Stadium in the South Tyneside Athletics competition today! There were lots of excellent personal best performances with our A team finishing 4th, agonisingly just outside the medals despite their very best efforts. The B team came a highly creditable 7th too in a brilliant event, that was keenly contested  by the 21 teams involved.

I was very proud to see everyone pushing themselves and supporting each other with lots of positive energy; so everyone should be pleased with their performances. Many of our Y4’s will take part in the Y5/6 athletics next year, while our youthful Y3’s who heavily featured today should feel confident when competing in the same Y3/4 event next year.

Finally, thank you to all of the children for keenly attending training and our brilliant parent helpers who supported our children so enthusiastically and considerately throughout.

Red Box Project

20th May 2022 By lwelsh

St Bede’s has joined the fight to end ‘period poverty’ for schoolgirls. Figures show that 48 per cent of UK girls struggle to pay for their sanitary products. Here at St Bede’s we are involved in The Red Box Project; an initiative that quietly ensures that no young woman misses out on her education because of her period.

Sanitary provisions are available to all students from Mrs Welsh and bins provided in the Year 5/6 toilets.

If your child has any questions regarding this please speak to Mrs Welsh.

Year 4 Art & DT – Greek Mosaics

18th March 2022 By vickidavis

As part of our History topic of the Ancient Greeks, year 4 have been looking at Greek art and their use of mosaics.

They have looked at how mosaics were made and the intricate detail that went into them.

The children then created their own mosaic designs on paper either copying an idea from the Greek mosaics we looked at or creating their own pattern or picture.

Children will build on these skills to create their own mosaics in a few weeks.

We even enjoyed listening to some traditional Greek music while working!

Year 4 Science

18th March 2022 By vickidavis

To start our new Science topic ‘States of Matter’, the children were given pictures of various items and worked in groups to ‘sort’ the pictures.

I didn’t tell the children how they needed to be sorted as it gave them the opportunity to discuss and come up with their own sorting criteria.

The children worked well in their groups and the scientific conversations that I overheard were fantastic.

Afterwards, I introduced our topic and the children then had to re-sort their pictures.

We discussed the differences between the three states of matter and discussed the properties of each.

Year 4 Limerick Writing

16th February 2022 By vickidavis

In English, the children have been learning the features of and writing a range of poems including: haiku poems and cinquain poems.

Today the children learnt about the features of limericks and had a go at writing their own.

They worked in pairs and used an online rhyming dictionary on the i’pads to help them find rhyming words then had good fun writing their own limerick poems.

There was lots of laughter in the class as the children worked….A great, fun lesson!

Here are a few of their poems:

There was a small child named Bea
Who liked to play ball in the sea
She played with the cat
She’d jump, run and splat
And she always got things for free!

 

There once was a boy names Jeff
Who liked to play chess with the chef
Who liked to eat all the food
When he was in a good mood
But then he sadly turned deaf!

 

There was once a Minion called Bob
Who really cared about his job
He frightened his fish
That lived in a dish
Then ran and turned into a blob!

 

There was a boy names Mark
Who liked to be in the dark
He liked to play ball
and liked to play with all
with a friend named Lark.

Safer Internet Day Years 4 and 5

11th February 2022 By vickidavis

As part of Safer Internet Day, the children in Years 4 and 5 discussed the importance of not sharing personal information online and what is acceptable behaviour when gaming online.

The children discussed what they would do in a range of ‘scenarios’ when gaming online. The children had some very sensible and mature answers.

The children worked through a Safer Internet Day booklet and even enjoyed completing a word search and crossword.
