In our RE lessons, we have been exploring Islam. We have particularly been learning about Hajj and Ramadan. Two of our friends kindly brought in some items from home to share with us all. It was wonderful to hear them talk so passionately about their faith.

Mini Vinnies’ Coffee Morning at St Bede’s Church

11th February 2024 By carolinekennedy

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

5th February 2024 By carolinekennedy

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.

Travelling Crib

27th November 2023 By carolinekennedy

In Advent, as we wait and prepare for the coming of Jesus, the children have been invited to join our special project called ‘The Travelling Crib’.   Starting this week, each child will take turns bringing home a pack to share with their families.

This is to help us remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.

Children in KS1 will bring home The Christmas Story, while children in KS2 will bring home a book called ‘When the Stars Shone Bright, A Christmas Tale’ telling the Christmas story from the perspective of the three wise men.

Father Bill’s visit to Year 5

22nd November 2023 By lusher

Year 5 invited Father Bill into class this week to talk about the sacrament of marriage. We have been considering the big question “Is commitment important?” as part of our RE work.

We discussed the meaning of commitment and Father Bill explained the details of a marriage ceremony, including the promises made, the blessing of the rings and the nuptial blessing. We also discussed our favourite hymns and readings that might be used.

19th October 2023 By lusher

Key Stage 2 classes recently took part in a virtual visit from award-winning author, Hannah Gold. 

During the virtual visit, Hannah spoke about her bestselling books The Last Bear and The Lost Whale. She also introduced the children to her highly anticipated third book, Finding Bear. Hannah spoke about her exciting work and the background to her latest book, as well as answering pupils’ questions in a Q&A session.

Some of the children enjoyed listening to Hannah so much that they were motivated to write their own animal stories inspired by Finding Bear.
