Thank you to School Games for having us participate at Watford & Hertsmere. The day consisted of opening ceremony, guest speakers and a cultural village of Activities.
The Inspire and engage Festival is aimed at Year 3 Girls to encourage them to participate and have fun whilst trying a new activity. Mr Honour was very impressed with the girls for keeping up the high energy and with this the girls received a Passion Baton for their amazing day.
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 getting a bronze medal. The children were very proud and enjoyed the day.
The children joined in with skills games in the beginning and the coach from the frisbee 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.
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!
The children’s behaviour was impeccable and they were amazing ambassadors for the school. Thank you to the Year 6 staff for arranging this lovely day out.
Keep being amazing Year 6 🤩
Well done children on engaging so well and being so caring with the animals
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 Mr Wanless and Miss Bowers 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.
We were lucky enough to be visited by Mya Mannix who is a trainee Pilot. Mya had come in 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 pursue to achieve their goals
