- Summer School
The GRITTY summer school was a great opportunity for pupils in Year 6 to be introduced to St Bede’s school. The weather was fantastic and the Year 6 pupils were able to spend time with new friends, develop an understanding of GRITTY skills and become familiar with their new school environment. During the week, the students enjoyed many fun activities that involved project-based learning in Maths, Science and English. These included CSI forensic science, bridge building, rocket building, speech writing, Maths escape room, problem solving, and Iodine clocks.
Pupils from Year 7, 8 and 9 also attended the GRITTY summer school.
There were also daily enrichment activities that included, building eco/sustainable bee hotels, GRITTY Artwork, Music and Drama sessions, remote control buggy challenge, Go-Kart racing, Soft Archery and Nerf Tin Can Alley, PE games and the very popular inflatable assault course.
