Marine Park works with a number of organisations within the community and is very proud of the partnerships we have established. Marine Park children have the opportunity to broaden their experiences through collaborating with businesses, professional bodies, arts and cultural organisations, charities and voluntary organisations, colleges and universities. These organisations and groups can offer young people ways to find meaning and create value in the world.
Year 4 have been working with Pippa Betterton from Hospitality and Hope. We are involved in two campaigns – “Child at the Table” and “No Child Left Behind”. This week we have been thinking about Free School meals and how important it is for every child to be able to have one. This week we started to make props to promote the campaign. Keep an eye out over the next few weeks to see our progress.
This exhibition and project was created and

Y6 visited the Baltic in Gateshead to celebrate the Show Racism The Red Card / Migration Project Celebration Event. The project investigated Identity & Belonging; Why people take sanctuary and celebrated what migrants bring to a community.
We would like to thank Fresh and Fruity-Quality Fruit and Vegetables shop in King Street, South Shields for once again donating to school. They provided and delivered materials such as wooden crates to our school to support the development of our outdoor learning environment. Many thanks again for their generosity!
As part of their work in the “Mini Police”, the group of Year Five’s were invited to Hadrian Primary where they met part of Northumbria Police’s Mounted Unit. We discussed the role of being a mounted Police Officer as well as the role the horses play in events such as football matches and celebrations.
The pupils had to chance to meet a police-horse in training called “Penshaw” (Brown) as well as “Pluto” (Grey) who is a bit of a local celebrity after having taken part in Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral Procession.
Towards the end of the session, pupils had the chance to take part in a simulated “crowd control” exercise, where Pluto, Penshaw and their riders demonstated how they deal with hooliganism and disruption.
Finally, the pupils had a chance to ask questions, including ‘how long does it take to train a police horse?’ and what they have to do to become part of Northumbria Police’s Mounted Unit.
Keep an eye out on the website as we may be visiting the stables very shortly.

A group of children from Years 5 and 6 took part in The Great North Run ‘Fit For the Finish’ event, with a surprise guest waiting for them at the finish line! Sir Mo Farah made a surprise appearance to welcome the children as they ended their 2mile run at Gypsies Green in South Shields. The children even had a short lesson in how to do the ‘Mobot’ move. Such a great day had by all.
