Fantastic Finish

May 24, 2024/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

Year 1 – We looked at healthy foods and what makes a healthy diet in Year 1. We invited the children to make fruit salads with their parents and then after evaluating what they made. Thank you to all the parents who contributed fruits and helped out. It was lovely to see how much the children enjoyed it.

Year 2 – It was lovely to see parents/carers coming in for our Fantastic finish. The children enjoyed creating nature pictures. Very creative, well done Year 2.

Year 3 – We invited parents/carers in to help with designing and making healthy sandwiches for Fantastic Finish. Children used a variety of fillings and some even tried something new. Thank you to the parents/ carers that joined us in the classroom.

Year 4 – It was nice to see parents/carers and other family members joining us on our last week before May half term with our event Fantastic Finish. We got to explore music with Mrs Ward and a physical activity of beanbag rounders.

Year 5 – For our fantastic finish we create our own insects from cardboard. This was inspired by the Benin Plaques which we have been studying in our West African Art unit. We had a great time. Thank you to all the parents that attended.

Year 6 – We were delighted to welcome so many parents to their Fantastic Finish. We hope you all had as much fun as we did creating your initials using magazine art.

Thank you to all the staff involved in Fantastic Finish across the school. Happy Half term!

iRock Assesmbly

May 24, 2024/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

Parkside enjoyed a Pop and Rock assembly Tuesday Morning presented by Whitney from iRock.

Children were chosen to create a real life band in assembly where they learnt to play ‘We Will Rock You’ on guitar, drums and piano.  The children and staff engaged really well, well done Parkside. Parents will be receiving an email regarding iRock lessons for children who are interested in learning an instrument.

Year 1 and 2

May 24, 2024/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

Year 1 and 2 went on a local area walk and made tally charts about the different types of buildings, shops and houses in our local area.

We then graphed this information.  Year 1 completed art work on Purple Mash and Year 2 drew maps.  On Thursday Year 1 and 2 went to The Borehamwood and Elstree Synagogue.  The Rabbi had a message for the children about kindness and being good neighbours to everyone.

Year 3 Church and learning about the studios

May 24, 2024/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

To begin our off the curriculum week, Year 3 started by learning about the famous film studios around Borehamwood.

We looked at different shows, watched clips and had a story told by a teacher who has been on set of one of the shows!. We even got to play our own version of ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ We seem to have a few millionaires in our class now!

On Tuesday Year 3 took a trip to our local Baptist church ‘Cowley Hill Free Church (Baptist)’. Children got to listen to some of the Baptist Church’s religious views and different features within the church. We listened to a few readings from the Bible and it gave children a chance to ask any questions they had. They showed us images and a video of a previous Baptism that had taken place. We had some snacks and received some bookmarks to bring home so we were delighted!

Year 3 Library Visit

May 24, 2024/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

Year 3 had the pleasure of visiting the library this week.

Children enjoyed a relaxing morning reading a book of their choice. Staff at the library were welcoming and happy to help children navigate the shelves. Each child came home with a book mark which they can personalise and get stamped for every book they read. Thank you Borehamwood Library!

Year 4 Synagogue Trip

May 24, 2024/in General News/by Mark Pedrasa

As part of our Off Curriculum week, 4 Aspen visited the Croxdale Borehamwood and Elstree Synagogue on Wednesday to learn more about our community and for many of our children, more about the Jewish faith.

The children were very respectful and a credit to Parkside.
