Reception took part in a science experiment using chocolate buttons!!
Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed creating their pantomime models yesterday. The children used their original design to create a set with flats. We used a range of joining techniques to add the flats, creating a more 3D effect and a range of materials. Thank you for all parents/carers input and support. Keep a look out for our finished products..
As an introduction to E Safety week Reception have read the story of Smartie the Penguin. Smartie has given the children top tips on how to keep themselves safe on-line. Ask the children to tell you when they get home!
Year 5 were visited by the Centre for Life today to take part in DinoMaths activities. We had so much fun! The children looked at Dinosaur timelines, made casts of fossils, learned about the characteristics of different dinosaurs and measured foot spans and strides of different dinos. We did lots of Maths calculating parts of different dinosaurs to scale and went outside to get a feel for the length of a triceratops a staggering 16 metres!! A brilliant day!
Yesterday morning we had a very informative assembly with some special guests from South Tyneside council. They spoke to the children about the affect dropping litter has on the environment. Ask your child to give you an interesting fact about litter!
Safer Internet Week 2020
This year, Stanhope Primary School are educating, celebrating and promoting Safer Internet use for a whole week, week beginning Monday 3rd February 2020.
What is E-Safety?
This can also be called ‘internet safety’, ‘online safety’ or ‘web safety’. E-safety is often defined as the safe and responsible use of technology. This includes the use of the internet and other means of communication using electronic media (eg text messages, gaming devices, email etc).
It is important that we equip children with the skills they need to keep themselves safe so they can experience the internet positively and responsibly.
During Safer Internet Week we wanted to reinforce this message to the children.
Safety rules:
Don’t talk to strangers (in real life or on the internet)
Always tell an adult if you don’t like something.
Never give out any details on the internet.
Play games for your age.
Guidance at home
Parents and Guardians play an essential role in supporting children in learning about how to stay safe online. Please find a number of links to provide you with the relevant guidance to help support your child.

On Wednesday, year 3 welcomed some special visitors. Mavis and Tracey from ASDA came in to talk to the children about what is in a healthy sandwich. There were lots of different breads and fillings to try. The children all made their own healthy sandwich to take home and even ate on in the class. Thank you to ASDA for their continued support, the children really enjoyed their afternoon.
This week in school is E-Safety Week! Please click the link below to keep up to date with current e-safety information.

Brilliant Bronze for Sportshall Athletics team at the Tyne and Wear County Finals!
