Christmas Newsletter for Schools

Now is the perfect time of year to visit Bede's World to experience one or two of our new and creative Christmas activities for schools. For the Christmas half term only we are offering a choice of the following visits at last year's prices!

Anglo-Saxon Angels and Monks

Children may visit St Paul's Anglo-Saxon church and make their own Anglo- Saxon angel or monk to take home and hang on the tree. Each class needs to bring a box/tray to carry their creations back to school.

Chalices

Learn the story of Benedict Biscop who founded the Wearmouth-Jarrow monastery. Children make their own chalice from air- drying clay to take home. Each class needs to bring a tray to carry their chalices back to school.

Christingles

Children learn about this traditional way of symbolising the Christmas story. Children need to bring a satsuma each and each class needs a box/tray to carry their christingles back to school.

Prices for Christmas Activities

1 activity (half day) £2.20 plus VAT per child.

2 activities (full day) £3.99 plus VAT per child.

South Tyneside LEA groups are free.

To book an indoor lunch space there is a one-off £5 fee.
