Educational Documentaries Available Online

By J Ranson4th May 2020

For many years, Netflix has allowed teachers to screen documentaries in their classrooms. However, this isn’t possible with distance learning currently taking place. As a result, Netflix have made many of their educational documentaries available on their YouTube channel.

If you do not have access to Netflix, you can now FOLLOW THIS LINK to access their YouTube channel, where they have released many educational documentaries such as Our Planet and their Explained series for free.

If you are a parent or carer, please check the ratings so that you can make informed choices for your children. Enjoy!

MESSAGE FROM NORTH TYNESIDE COUNCIL

By S Watson14th April 2020

Dear Parent/Carer,

 At this difficult time when your children are being asked to access learning at home, we realise that most of this learning is done online, and that some families may not have access to the technology.

Smartphones are great for many simple tasks but they can make other tasks difficult or impossible in some cases. 

North Tyneside Council is looking at different ways to try to support families to ensure that every child can access online home learning easily. If you believe your family would benefit from additional support in this area please click the link below and complete this short form.

All information gathered is solely for the purpose of getting support to these families and will not be shared beyond North Tyneside Council

The deadline for this is 5pm on Thursday 16 April 2020.
