A great game of football against Monksmead on Tuesday afternoon for our Year 4/5 team.

Unfortunately, the boys lost 2-0 but played incredibly well as a new team. Congratulations to those children who represented Parkside for the first time today!

A special mention to David in Year 5 for his amazing performance in goal and to Mr Honour and Miss Bowers for supporting the team this afternoon.

Thank you Borehamwood Youth Football Club for allowing us to use their wonderful facilities

This event was in support of the Football Association- Let Girls Play – Initiative. The girls showed a short skill session followed by a Q and A with the sports Ambassadors from Year 6. They prepared some questions for him to answer which were led as a presentation by the girls in Year 6 who made a PowerPoint.

This week we received a lovely letter from Sir Oliver Dowden thanking us for welcoming him into our school to mark International Women’s Day by taking part in the ‘Let Girls Play’ Initiative . In this letter you will find the answers to all the questions the children asked. In response to this the Year 6 children thanked and were very honoured to have received the letter. You will be able to find both the letters on our Newsletter. Thank you Rt Hon Olivier Dowden and Year 6.

Friday morning Year 1 showed us their class assembly. In English they have been reading ‘Here comes Mr Post Mouse’.

They have been writing party invitations in class.They have enjoyed learning about postmen and women. They have been looking at different books about bats. In Maths they have been working hard learning about addition facts using Think 10. In history they have been learning about Kings and Queens and all their important job roles. In science they have been learning about the seasons of the year, Autumn, Spring, Summer and Winter. We all enjoyed your assembly

Congratulations to Zavier, Poppy, Cole, Roustam, Leo, Lavinia, Billy-Ray, Iustin, Damian and Kah’marii who were this week’s Parkside flyers.

You have all demonstrated excellent attitudes towards your learning and thank you for upholding our values. Keep on soaring.

On Friday, 15 th March, the Year 3 class showcased their talents and knowledge through an engaging assembly on the theme of Ancient Egypt.

The children delivered informative dialogues and put up a captivating performance by singing their ancient Egyptian song. The children sang beautiful songs that transported us back in time to the era of the pharaohs. To further immerse themselves the students showcased handmade Egyptian necklaces, which they made with great attention to detail. To finish the assembly, the classes demonstrated their musical skills by artfully playing the ukulele, adding a delightful element to the assembly.

Well done to all the children in year 3 , you did brilliantly and should be so proud of yourselves!
