Congratulations to Karla, Amara, Bella, Shayo, Erina, Elliana, Leo, Lexi and Andrii who all gained their wings this week for their amazing work. Well done!
Year 1 has been writing some excellent setting descriptions. Year 2 have been inspired by the recent visit of the local Fire Brigade and created their own fire engines in their DT lessons. Year 3 have been working incredibly hard in Maths and have been using bar models to find a missing number. Year 4 Rowan has been learning about classification of animals in Science and Year 4 Aspen shared some amazing homework. The children were inspired by the robot in The Iron Man and designed their own friendly robots. A child in Year 5 shared their amazing art creations inspired by different animals. Finally, in English, Year 6 have been reading the poem ‘The Listeners’ and wrote their own rhyming and free verse poems. Keep up the great work!
The firefighters spoke to the children about fire safety, showed them the equipment they use, and even let the pupils explore the fire engine. The children were thrilled to try on helmets, hear the siren, try out the fire hose and learn how to stay safe in an emergency. A huge thank you to the local firefighters for such an educational and memorable experience!
David’s Tricks came to Parkside Primary with an incredible magic show—all with an important message about road safety. Using mind-blowing tricks and fun audience participation, David helped the children learn how to STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, and THINK before crossing the road.
The show was packed with laughter, amazement, and most importantly, life-saving lessons. Our pupils had a fantastic time and left feeling smarter—and safer—about the world around them.
A huge thank you to David for making learning about road safety so unforgettable!
