She talked to the children about what anti-social behaviour is and how it affects the community. The children really enjoyed the session and were very engaged asking lots of questions. Thank you to Julie and the Hertfordshire Constabulary for the session.
Lovely to see so many children enjoying themselves at our school disco, a massive thank you to PFA for arranging this.

On Tuesday 7th May 2024, Daisy S, Zakaria, Phillip and Amelia took part in 2024 HFL EDUCATION YEAR 4 MATHEMATICS CHALLENGE, this was the first year in which Year 4 children could take part in and we are very proud of the 4 children who represented Parkside.
The competition is designed to be fun and it definitely challenged our team in many ways. Not least in the mathematical focus, but also in working ‘well’ as a team and agreeing answers within the time limit set. Collaborative working in mathematics (and in life) is a crucial skill. The competition challenges how well teams can work together.
Alongside practising strategies to solve mathematical questions and problems, it is also helpful to consider how to be a great team.
A massive thank you to Miss Moon for supporting the children during the live zoom event.
I have attached a letter for all our families with children in Year 1-6 regarding the Butterfly Squad where we have been chosen as one of the 100 schools in the country to take part in this latest Mental Health program.
Butterfly Squad is for all children in years 1-6 and will lay a strong cognitive foundation for the rest of their lives. Children are being given the gift of being in charge of their own emotions, choices, actions, reactions and feelings, creating powerful ninjas of their own minds and having the knowledge and power to be able to call on these tools and use them to make their own changes for life.
This Mental Health programme has been written under Ofsted’s 8 principles criteria for Mental Health, which has been taught in schools for the last 13 years and across the whole windscreen of need with outstanding impact.
Below is the letter, where you will have to sign up for free.
Mental Health and wellbeing is so important to all of us and I am very committed to ensuring our children’s happiness is at the core of everything we try to achieve here at Parkside.
