Welcome back!
It's been a very busy week here in school with lots of canvassing and voting taking place for school councillors in every class, team captains and vice captains & our Head Boy & Girl. Here are this year's Team House and Vice captains.
St Aidan's Team captain Tegan and Vice Captain - Joe
St Bede's Team Captain Bethan and Vice Captain Aidan.
ST Cuthbert's Team Captain Charlotte and Vice Captain Joseph.
St Oswald's Team Captain Alex and Vice Captain Sebastian.
We have also chosen our new Head Boy and Girl for the year. Every child and teacher in the school voted after some outstanding presentations from all the candidates. It was a very hard decision to make for us all. Our new Head Boy is Tom and our new Head Girl is Abbey and I'm sure they will be excellent ambassadors for our school.
"We are all special"
Our school has once again been awarded the 'Impetus' Award, for its efforts in promoting children's rights. Year 6 pupils Eve, Lucy, James, Jack, Joseph and Conall led the project along with Mr Campbell, which focused on developing friendships within the school and local community. They produced a diary, wall display and presentation to Impetus representatives to achieve the award. They all worked very hard and Nick Mawson, the Impetus visitor, was "bowled over" by the children's efforts and added they were a "credit to the school". Indeed they are, well done everyone!

Dance Festival at the Sage!
Our dance troupe performed flawlessly on Monday morning at the Sage. No mean feat when faced with a huge stage and audience for the first time, but as always the children rose to the challenge and were spectacular! Thanks also to Miss Bingham and Miss Watson for their time spent on rehearslas and costumes ensuring that the children were so fully prepared!
Swimming Gala
Year 6 swimmers represented the school in style - we were 2nd School Team overall, 2nd for Boys Team overall and won a medal in almost every race! Some children even won 2 or 3 medals and we even won the reserves race! Everyone showed great team spirit and cheered for each other the whole night - well done! Thanks also to Mrs Lawson, Mrs Stokoe and Mr Campbell for supporting the children from the side - they all have very sore throats today!!! and not forgetting all our brilliant parents and grandparents who cheered us on all night!

In Year 5 we have linked with a school in the Kumbo Diocese of Cameroon called St Martin de Porres. Miss Hughes visited us and told us about what life was like there for children like us. They have to pay to get an education, they have to provide their own pens and pencils and if they didn't have one the teacher would send them home! The children would have to walk long distances to school some for as long 2 hours.
Miss Hughes was going back to Cameroon for another visit so we asked her if she would take some 'hands of friendship' from our class to the children there. We wrote out names and a bit about ourselves on one hand and when Miss Hughes took them to Cameroon the children there did the same and sent them back to us! We were all very excited to have the opportunity to share ideas and feelings with children on the other side of the world.
We also sent 2 of our favourite books, 'Fantastic Mr Fox' and 'Kensuke's Kingdom', over to the children to help start a library for them and hopefully next time we could send some more!
We are going to go to Mass at St Peter's in a couple of weeks time to tell the Parishioners all about our friends across the sea.
We really enjoyed this activity and so did the children from Cameroon as they said it was the most exciting thing they had ever done! we hope to continue this link by sending some letters and would like to start a joint project with the children there - we can learn so much from each other - we think it would be great!

" Everyone must have been trying very hard this week a nd it was very close so keep it up!"
On Monday 1st February the Yellow 5p bus visited our school. The bus helps the homeless people in the region and people who can't afford to buy clothes fully priced. Everything on board the bus costs 5p!! The Yellow Bus brings clothes, books, shoes, games and toys to people who need them instead of them having to go to a charity shop. St Cuthbert's Care is the charity that runs the bus - it costs £40,000 each year to run.
When the bus came to school each class got to go inside and see all of the things they had for sale. We were really impressed. Ken a volunteer told us all about how the bus works and where it goes. We can help by donating clothes for any age, shoes and toys. We can also help by raising money to make sure this excellent project continues.
All around the Diocese schools are taking part in a non uniform day on February 12th to help to raise funds. This will help to pay for petrol for the bus as even the drivers are volunteers! Please help us by coming in non uniform and making a donation on that day.
Thank you,
by Ella, Trudy, Amy & Marlene. (Y4)

JULY
As you walk beside me, Lord,
lead me to recognise you
in all those you place into my life
this day.
JUNE
May my horizon this day, Lord,
not be so foreshortened that I notice little.
Instead, open my eyes
that I may see afar and above
as well as in front and beneath me.
Lead me to keep my life in perspective and balance
and discover that the thread of your presence
is interwoven through the events and people of this day.
APRIL
Lead me this day, Lord,
not only to be of service to others
but to ensure
that I find quiet moments
for myself and for you.
JANUARY
NOVEMBER
In busy days of noise and action
- and especially when my journey seems long
and my energy is spent -
lead me to be still, Lord,
and discover anew
that you are with me.
