Dear Year 6,

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Parkside's class of 2024. They have been such a great class to teach: responsive, thoughtful, diligent, interested, funny - everything a teacher could want! I will miss them so much. I hope that you take with you into Year 7 a quiet confidence in your ability to think, write and speak your thoughts and ideas. My hope is that books, with stories and new knowledge, will always be important in your lives as places for escape, places to learn, and places of safety. I know that each and everyone of you will go on to do great things - please do stay in touch and share your achievements.
All my love, Mrs Parmar x

I feel very lucky to have been able get to know you all this year. You have all worked so hard, but I hope you have had lots of fun too. You have been brilliant to teach - full of humour and personality. There is never a dull moment in year 6 and you have kept me on my toes!I had a great time at PGL with most of you – it was great to see you give all of the activities a go and conquer your fears. I have also been proud of your amazing performances this year: our WW2 assembly and of course our year 6 show: “Old School Daze!’ I have never had a class who loves to sing and perform as much you! You should all be very proud of your hard work and the progress you have made this year. I have every confidence that you will achieve your hopes and dreams in the future.
Keep working hard! Mrs Knowles

It will be very difficult to say goodbye to our wonderful year 6. I’ve been fortunate to work with you for more than a year and I have watched you develop into an enthusiastic,charming group of young people who are full of vitality. I want to congratulate you on your production- it was an absolute joy to watch. I wish all of you the best of luck in your new schools and want to thank you for making my job so enjoyable.
Love Mrs Lunniss

Year 3 and 6 had a lovely morning to see ‘Inside out 2’ courtesy of the Rotary Club. Children really enjoyed the movie which talks alot about emotions and how we feel on the inside. Year 6 were very grateful for their donation of snacks also provided by the Rotary Club. The year 6 children then spend the afternoon at Meadow park enjoying their last few days of Primary life.

A massive thank you to the Rotary Club and Parkside staff for making today happen.

The School councillors and Mr Wanless met the Mayor, Cllr Alpha Bird Collins, this morning. The children prepared questions to ask and they were very respectful and interested in what the Mayor does for our community. It was a lovely morning and the children have leant more about the role of a Mayor.

Today Year 5 had the pleasure of visiting Elstree Screen Arts Academy.

We looked at their exhibition of Year 13 students' final art projects and they were amazing and so inspirational! We were asked to choose our favourite piece of artwork and explain why. This was the tricky part!

After that, we split ourselves into two teams and completed different workshops. For one workshop, the children were asked to create a slow motion animation. The children chose two characters and created them using play-dough. We then created a short story about them using a series of photographs. Watch this space for our completed animations!

The second group were asked to create a piece of artwork focused on a colour or image and make a piece of art on a canvas. These will then be put together to make an amazing piece of art that we can display in the school.

Thank you ESA for an amazing experience, the children loved it!

Year 5 have been channelling their inner Thespians and performed the Witches’ Spell from the Shakespeare play, Macbeth. They have read the poem several times together as a class and ensured that we understood the language.

They have watched actors performing the poem and used this as inspiration to perform their own recitals of the poem. They used all the success criteria and performed the poem to their peers.

Check out our Parkside instagram for Year 5 Ash reading the poems.

Today Year 5 had our final session as part of our Mini Police programme. We had the pleasure of experiencing what the inside of a police car was like and heard the really loud siren! We explored the huge amount of equipment that was kept in the boot too!

After that, we tried on lots of police uniforms and for some of us, it was a little on the large size!
Finally, we found out how fast we could sprint by using the speed-o-meter. We were exhausted afterwards!

A massive congratulations to Year 5 children who were chosen to represent Watford& Hertsmere School Sport Partnership in an Ultimate Frisbee competition today. Miss Bowers is incredibly proud of you all for your behaviour and teamwork throughout the day. Parkside Year 5 team came in 3rd place out of 7 receiving a bronze medal.

The children were very proud and enjoyed the day. They joined in with skills games in the beginning and the coach from the frisbee club chose a captain. Well done to Louie, who was chosen by the coach to be Parkside’s captain. Your enthusiasm for the game was amazing and your leadership skill alongside communication skills helped to lead the team. Overall performance from Parkside was noticed by other teams and you all should be so proud of yourselves.

Fantastic performance, well done! 🏆🥏

Parkside had a special guest speaker today in assembly.

We were lucky enough to be visited by Mya Mannix who is a trainee Pilot. Mya had come in today to speak to the Parkside pupils about future careers for and give younger children a wider range of different careers, courses for life, and inspiring them to reach for the best in their future. Children loved the Q and A session this morning.

After assembly Year 4 and Year 6 got more time to spend with Mya and created worksheets inspiring the children to think of their future goals, skills and qualifications to start to persue to achieve their goals

Thank you Mya ✈️

Today, our PE ambassadors along with Miss Bowers went to visit the residents of the Mead to lead some fantastic physical/sporting activities which the residents all seem to really enjoy.

Our community is very important to all of us at Parkside, and as I told the children today, the way they communicated, smiled and engaged means so much to the residents. So well done children, you are true role models for the school and a great credit to Miss Bowers and myself as part of the PE team.

Thank you to all the team at The Mead for a wonderful morning, the children met some amazing people and it was great to see different generations of our community building new relationships.

This week in year 5 we have been very busy with Mini Police. The children performed an assembly to the KS2 children all about what they had learnt during our Mini Police sessions. Very well done to the children, who create their own powerpoint slides, scripts and props. A massive thank you to PCSO Julie Day for running the session and teaching the children.

PCSO Julie Day also brought with her PC Shaun Hill who talked to the children about his role and showed the children all of the equipment that he uses in his job. The children enjoy trying and examining the equipment. An honourable mention to Mrs Samways who dress up with the children.

Welcome to Parkside Community Primary School

We have over 300 children attending our school and pride ourselves in knowing all of our students and their families well. We firmly believe that each child is exceptional and each has their own unique set of talents. We are a hard working team who aim to nurture those talents. We believe that children learn best when they are in an environment which encourages self expression, investigation, creativity and independence. We aim to provide the greatest possible education to enable your child to achieve their very best at school within a safe and caring environment.

At Parkside School we actively promote the values, virtues and ethics that underpin the British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs. We also believe that learning is a life long process that should be enjoyed. We have redesigned our curriculum to reflect this; it actively encourages our children to practice and retain the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed not only during their time at school but in the world of work.

We are proud of our excellent relationships with parents, the most important people in a child’s life, working together to ensure the best possible outcomes for all children in the school. We hope that we will have a long and happy association with you. We are very proud of our school and hope that you will come to feel the same way too.

Mr Charles Soyka
