Hoops 4 Health

By

The children in Year 5 and 6 enjoyed an afternoon with some Newcastle Eagles players this week.

The roadshow concentrated on health messages such as mental and social well-being, how to stay fit and look after the heart and lungs, stay hydrated with tap water and eating a balanced diet. The children also had the opportunity to play some basketball with the Eagles players!

The children were fantastic at answering the players’ questions and taking part in the activities.

Well done everyone!

Year 5 History Workshop

By

This week, Year 5 had a special visit from ‘That History Bloke.’

We explored the lives of Anglo Saxon monks which is part of our History topic this term. Richard really brought the past to life as he shared many aspects of Anglo Saxon times with us.

Just as Richard intended, we learned lots and we had lots of fun!

Click the image below to see a video of some of the activities we enjoyed as part of this wonderful workshop. 

District Cross Country Champions 2022!

By

Eight teams from St. Bede’s consisting of 42 children became South Tyneside Cross Country Team Champions today! It was wonderful to have so many boys and girls involved in a single event. The children have shown incredible dedication to train for the competition and everyone strived for personal best performances. I was so proud of how everyone supported each other and the amazing parental support at Temple Park!

Worry Monster

By

We are currently in the process of setting up access to a ‘worry monster’ in each classroom. This is a place where they can write their name on a post-it note with any worry they may have and “feed” it to the worry monster. This can  happen throughout the day and teaching staff regularly check the worry monsters, find a quiet place to talk to the child and address any worries that they might have. This is an opportunity for the children to share any worries and for us to try and help and offer support.

While the children are not at school, we are aware that they may still have worries or questions that they might want to share or ask. We want to be able to continue to offer this type of support as much as we can while we are currently not in school. So, we have now set up a dedicated email address. This is for the children to use. They can email us with any worries or questions they may have. Mrs Welsh, Mrs Devine and Mrs Mackley will all have access to the email service, so we will hopefully be able to address any worries.

The email address is ineedtotalk@st-bedes.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Y5 ‘The Lost Thing’

By
