This has generated lots of discussion amongst the children.
Thank you to Mrs Chowdhury, who very kindly came up to year 6 where she read a page from the Quran in Arabic and showed the children the different ways that people choose to pray. They learnt about fasting, prayers and the celebration of Ramadan.
Judith’s mother and grandparents were all Austrian survivors, who managed to escape Austria after Hitler had invaded. The children learnt of the dehumanisation they suffered and the battles they faced while
living in Austria at this time. Judith presented a well
documented presentation which included photographs and real voice recordings from members of her family.
The children were attentive and asked sensible and well thought out questions. Judith commented on what lovely children they all were and how well behaved they were.
Year 6 you are a credit to Parkside.
A massive thankyou to Mrs Judith Hayman for giving up her time to speak to the children.

In English they have been learning about what Britain was like during World War II, this covered rationing, the Blitz, blackouts and evacuation. This morning’s assembly was very informative. The children all learnt their lines and delivered them confidently and clearly and their acting skills were worthy of a BAFTA! They treated us to a very lively rendition of “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary” and the grand finale was delightful as they sang and played instruments to the song “In the Mood” which they have been learning in music.
This was linked to our RE topic as we have been learning about the traditions, sacred stories and symbols of Judaism.
The children had many inquisitive questions to ask the Rabbi and they definitely kept him on his toes!
Thank you to all involved in the organisation of our trip.
They took part in a Running (Relay), Jumping (Speed Bounce) and Throwing (Soft Javelin). The children had smiles on their faces all morning and worked very well as a team.
From dressing up in clothes that they feel comfortable to read in, to an online Footy and Booky Quiz with the National Literacy Trust and a live lesson with BBC Teach, the children have had a truly wholesome experience. We had lots of fun taking part in Drop Everything And Read (D.E.A.R) sessions across the school and ended the day with paired buddy reading which was a great success.
