School Council Welcome Kate Osborne MP

25th June 2021C Henderson

Today our school council welcomed Jarrow MP Kate Osborne to Valley View.

Ms Osborne enjoyed a tour of the school before entering into a challenging question and answer session with the School Council.

The children did lots of research to prepare for the meeting. They asked  about the Women and Equalities Committee, what they could do about climate change, how they could get more money for fun equipment in school and if Kate Osborne MP had ever met Boris Johnson !

The Student Council made a great impression  Kate Osborne commended them all praising the excellent selection process the school used to elect school councillors.

We look forward to another meeting soon!

The Stone Age

2nd November 2020C Henderson

This half term, Year 3 has been studying the exciting topic of ‘The Stone Age’. We have been to Jarrow Hall and taken a trip back in time. Whilst we were there, we discovered what they ate, how they hunted animals and the sort of houses they would live in. We created our own Stone Age spears and aimed for our targets.

Child Safety Week 1st – 7th June

22nd May 2020C Henderson

Child Safety Week, 1st – 7th June 2020 – Safety Makes Sense

South Tyneside Safeguarding Children Partnership are pleased to inform you that we will be supporting Child Safety Week again this year.

This year Child Safety Week runs from 1st June until 7th June 2020 and looks very different due to the COVID 19 pandemic. None the less the messages of how to keep children safe from accidents remain the same. Our homes are accident hotspots for younger children which is a scary prospect at the best of times and sadly less traffic doesn’t mean we can completely switch off about road safety.

Throughout the week we will be sharing a range of top tips on how to keep children safe from accidents during lockdown (these can be found on our Twitter feed @STSafeguarding), as well as providing links to some excellent resources from the Child Accident Prevention Trust.

We would encourage you to share the links and resources across your own networks and have attached the 2020 family activity pack.
