To mark this very special occasion, **St Bede’s Darlington** is delighted to be running a **school‑wide creative competition** for all our children. ### Design a Birthday Card for Sir David We are inviting pupils to **design the front of a birthday card** that we will send to Sir David Attenborough himself. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to celebrate his life’s work and show their appreciation through creativity, imagination, and a love for the natural world. ### Who Can Enter? **All pupils are welcome to take part**, from **Nursery right through to Year 6**. ### Prizes One winning entry will be selected from each phase: - **EYFS** - **KS1** - **Lower KS2** - **Upper KS2** Each phase winner will: - Receive a **science‑themed prize** - Have their design featured on the **official birthday card** sent from their phase ### Let’s Get Creative! We encourage children to be inspired by nature — plants, animals, oceans, rainforests, or anything they admire about Sir David’s incredible work. This is a chance to celebrate curiosity, care for our planet, and creativity across the whole school. We can’t wait to see the fantastic designs our pupils create as we come together to celebrate an extraordinary milestone for an extraordinary individual. **Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough!** [Latest News](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/tag/latest-news) [ Easter Cheer at St Bede’s ](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-04-02-easter-cheer-at-st-bede-s) [A Great Start to Golf in PE ](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/news/2026-04-25-a-great-start-to-golf-in-pe) ![St Bede’s Catholic Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### St Bede’s Catholic Primary School Kingsway Darlington County Durham DL1 3ES 01325 466411 - [Office 365](https://outlook.office365.com/carmel.org.uk) - [Teams FAQs](https://bhcet.org.uk/information/teams-faqs/) - [Remote Access](https://remote.carmel.org.uk/) - [Liturgy](https://liturgy.bhcet.org.uk/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbedesrcprimaryschool/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stbedes_darlington/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 St Bede’s Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-bede-s-catholic-primary-school-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
