The children enjoyed a theatre production of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ today. There was a lot of singing, dancing and the odd scream! Everyone was  pleased to know that the giant turned out to be  a friendly fellow in the end! Thank you to M and M Productions for a fantastic show.

The school held a minute silence today to remember all those who have died during times of  war. We also prayed for loved ones, in our own lives, who have sadly passed away. Our Key Stage 1 children decorated remembrance crosses and placed them at the front of school. Our Key Stage 2 children painted stones and made a remembrance poppy in our remembrance garden. Year 5 visited the Seaham centotaph where they spent their minute silence with members of our community….. ‘Lest we Forget’

Well done to all the children in Featherbed class for their fantastic assembly on the topic of the Arctic. Who would have thought Polar Bears, Food Chains, Ice, Fish, and the story behind our much loved teddy bears would be so interesting! Thank you to the many parents and family members who attended the assembly.

The October half term has arrived! Where does the time go to? We wish all our children, parents and staff a restful and enjoyable half term holiday. School re-opens on Monday 31st October – this will be spooky writing day and the children are asked to dress in spooky costumes for the day. The KS1 and KS2 halloween disco will take place at the end of the school day (KS1 – 3pm-4pm / KS2 – 4:30pm – 6pm).

Our Head Boy and Head Girl made the first dig to mark the start of works for our new school building. Diggers  moved onto the school site to begin the earth works in preparation for our two new classrooms and sports hall. We will photograph various stages of the build, as it progresses, and these can be viewed within our ‘Whole School Events’ section.

Thank you to all parents who joined us in school to celebrate our Year 4 assembly on the topic of ‘The Vikings’. The children did a fabulous job showcasing the work they have covered this half term.

Well done to our girls netball team who took part in some fantastic netball competitions at St. Bede’s Comprehensive School. They certainly did our school proud! Well done girls!
