Year 6 pupils from St Bede’s Catholic Primary School in Darlington enjoyed a fantastic experience at the YMT Year 6 Festival, taking part in a day filled with music, reflection and celebration. The festival provided pupils with the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities, including singing, dancing, prayer and reflection.
Some children in Lower Key Stage 2 (LKS2) recently enjoyed a fantastic experience as they took part in an exciting athletics event. The children embraced the opportunity to get active, challenge themselves, and represent the school with pride. Taking part in a range of activities, they demonstrated great enthusiasm, determination, and teamwork throughout the event.
St Bede’s Catholic Primary School in Darlington has been celebrating the success of its recent school book swap event, which brought pupils together to share stories, promote sustainability, and enjoy reading in a new way. The initiative gave children the chance to bring in books they had already enjoyed and exchange them for new ones to take home. The event proved to be a big hit, with pupils embracing the opportunity to discover different stories while passing on their own favourites to others.
