Letter to Parents from Mrs McBeth 28.5.21
Fri 28 May 2021Friday 28th May 2021
Dear Parents/Carers,
I hope you are looking forward to the half term and hopefully some good weather at last.
I have a few pieces of information to share with you regarding next term.
Firstly, on June 11th to celebrate the start of the European Football Championship we will be holding a non uniform day. Simply pay £1 and come to school in either something sporty or a football strip if you have one (please do not go out and buy a football strip it is not at all necessary). All proceeds will go to the Friends of Jarrow Cross to support their fundraising. Throughout the day the children will take part in lots of football/sport related activities.
Also, next term we are hoping to again take part in some organised PE competitions which will take place at different venues across South Tyneside. Please be assured that Covid regulations will be followed, for example all children will remain in their school bubbles and all events will have a clear Risk Assessment.
We have also received new guidance from Public Health regarding the wearing of face masks/coverings. From 7th June there is no longer a requirement to wear a face mask/covering whilst on the external school grounds. This is now purely optional. Visitors will however, still be required to wear face masks when entering the school building. Please note that social distancing on the school grounds is still required and parents must continue to use the correct exits and entrances into the school grounds.
Regarding the school grounds, can I again ask parents to be safety conscious and also mindful of residents whilst parking on Borough Road. Unfortunately, parents still continue to park on the yellow markings outside of the school gates which I know you will agree is extremely dangerous for both children and other drivers.
Also, just a little reminder regarding punctuality, please remember if you have more than one child in school and they have different start times, the children must be in school for the child who starts the earliest. Unfortunately, at the moment we have a few children who are missing up to half an hour of the school day as they are arriving at the later start time rather than the earlier time. This is obviously having a huge impact upon their learning.
Something for the holidays, if your child enjoys being involved in nature activities throughout June, we are challenging the children to do one wild thing a day, such as thread a daisy chain, feel the wind between their toes, have lunch in the wild etc. The children will be bringing home a letter containing further information and KS1 will receive their information via Dojo. If you do take part in any activities we would love to see your photographs, simply send them to distancelearning@jarrowcross-pri.s-tyneside.sch.uk
It is whole school photo day on Tuesday 8th June, unfortunately due to Covid restriction the photographers are unable to take family or sibling groups this year. It will be individual photographs only.
Finally, I know some of you will be already thinking ahead to the new year regarding school uniform therefore, if you wish to place a uniform order for September can you please place your orders online at www.totstoteams.com by Monday 28th June. It’s a fantastic service where you will order your uniform online, it will be delivered to school for free in a bag with your child’s name on, and we will then give it to your child to bring home. Please note we have limited stock available in school.
Have a lovely half term and we will see you all back at school on Monday 7th June.
Mrs McBeth
Head Teacher

Mental Health Week: Nature
Fri 14 May 2021This week has been Mental Health Week, where the focus has been nature. We believe that nature is the best form of medicine to feel good about ourselves.
Each year group took part in a nature trail- within the school grounds or in our local community. We explored nature and then afterwards, we simply enjoyed being with our peers and took part in some active sports.
To top off a wonderful morning/afternoon, we enjoyed devouring our ice-lollies! There's nothing quite like being in the sunshine with our friends eating ice-cream!

Our school is delighted to be taking part in Royal Mail’s Heroes Stamp Design Competition, honouring the heroes of the coronavirus pandemic.
Eight pupils from primary and secondary schools across the UK will become the designers of this stamp set, and one could be your child!
Each entry we send in will have the name of each child, plus their age and our school’s name and postcode.
Before we submit entries to Royal Mail we need explain how Royal Mail will use these details. Royal Mail will us
ethese details of children who enter (i.e. name, age, school name and postcode) to run the competition, including to contact the winners and distribute prizes. Royal Mail will share this information with iChild Limited and The Education Company Limited, who are helping Royal Mail to run the competition.Except in the case of the 120 children who reach the Regional Finalists stage, Royal Mail will delete all of this data by 30th September 2021.
As is usual in competitions, Royal Mail may, if requested, tell the Advertising Standards Authority of those winners’ surnames and counties. Members of the public will also be able to ask Royal Mail for that information after 30th September 2021. If you object to your child’s surname and county being available to members of the public, you should write to Heroes Stamp Design Competition, Royal Mail Group, 185 Farringdon Road, London EC1A 1AA. However, Royal Mail may still need to give this information to the Advertising Standards Authority on a confidential basis.
If your child enters the competition, Royal Mail has what data protection law calls a “legitimate interest” to use your child’s details (i.e. name, age, school name and postcode) in the ways described above. However, your decision of what is best for your child takes priority, so if you have any concerns please let your child’s teacher know not to include your child’s design in the competition.
