Year 3 had a lovely day on Monday. They had a lovely guided walk around the Cathedral grounds . They looked at different trees from lots of different countries and looked at their leaves and different barks. We collected lots of autumn leaves and made a display at school in the afternoon. We were also very lucky to be able to go into the Cathedral to see the 3D Earth exhibition.

oday, our Key Stage 1 children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in a Multi-Sports Festival at St Bede's. The event brought together children from a number of local schools to enjoy an exciting day of physical activity, teamwork, and fun.
Throughout the day, the children participated in a wide range of sports and activities designed to develop their fundamental movement skills, coordination, balance, and confidence. From running and jumping challenges to team games and skill-based activities, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The children approached each activity with enthusiasm and determination, giving their best effort while encouraging and supporting one another.
One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity to work alongside new friends and experience a variety of sports in a positive and inclusive environment. The festival focused on participation, enjoyment, and personal achievement, allowing every child to experience success and build their confidence.
It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces throughout the day, with lots of laughter, excitement, and memorable moments shared between the children. They demonstrated excellent sportsmanship, resilience, and teamwork, making both the school and themselves incredibly proud.
A huge thank you to the staff and organisers at St Bede's for hosting such a well-planned and enjoyable event. The children returned to school full of enthusiasm and eager to share their experiences with their friends and families.

Today at SMSJ, we celebrated European Languages Day with a wonderful range of exciting activities across the school. Each year group selected a different European country to focus on, giving the children the opportunity to learn about and explore the rich cultures, traditions, languages, and celebrations from across Europe.
Throughout the day, pupils took part in a variety of engaging activities, including arts and crafts, music, dance, food tasting, language-learning challenges, and cultural research projects. The children showed great enthusiasm as they discovered new customs, landmarks, and traditions, developing a deeper appreciation for the diversity that makes Europe such a vibrant and fascinating continent.
European Languages Day provided a fantastic opportunity to celebrate multilingualism, broaden cultural understanding, and inspire curiosity about the world around us. We are incredibly proud of the children's enthusiasm, creativity, and willingness to embrace new experiences.
Please take a look at some of the exciting activities the children enjoyed throughout the day.
