OPERATION ENCOMPASS
In accordance with the Police and Crime Commissioner Vera Baird’s Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy, Operation Encompass has been initiated in Northumbria Police to promote the value of early interventions in schools.
In Gateshead, Operation Encompass is part of the wider Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) that has recently been established within Gateshead Council to support vulnerable persons.
The process commenced on 01 April 2015 and all eighty seven schools in Gateshead are participating in Operation Encompass. The process is to be rolled out to the rest of the Northumbria Police area very soon.
All School Key Adults have undertaken Operation Encompass training and are extremely positive about this exchange of information which is assisting them greatly in providing tailored support to children, young people and their families. One Key Adult Commented “I must say I think that this is a great operation as it keeps us well informed and it gives me a great understanding of the children and families I work with.”
Detective Constable Gill Menzies was asked to implement Operation Encompass across Gateshead, in conjunction with Gateshead Council Safer Communities. DC Menzies says “We are improving the way we share information every day and this is a simple yet effective example of how that information can greatly help in ensuring the continued welfare of children and young people.”

Materials and their Properties
In science today, we have been sorting materials based on their properties. We discovered that there are lots of different ways we can classify objects. Our favourite word of the day was 'malleable' which means something can be shaped.
We are HAPPY…
We have been listening to the song 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams as part of our music unit of work. Today we listened for the pulse and had a go at performing the song as a class. It definitely cheered up our afternoon!
History Fact Hunt
Today we have worked as spies to learn 7 key facts about WWII. We uncovered clues, which then led us to a coded message.
