Year 6 Artwork

/in /by

Year 6 art topic this term was to look at the famous artist Leonardo da Vinci.

They went on to find out that he was not only a famous artist, but a scientist, mathematician and inventor to name but a few of his interests and skills. They have produced some amazing artwork based on one of his anatomical drawings of the human hand. Well done to all our budding artists in year 6. More artwork from Year 6 as they learnt all about the style of perspective to create a display focused on their names. They have enjoyed learning this with Mrs Lunniss and Mrs Knowles can’t wait to see more incredible artwork, keep it up.

This helped the children in english with different ways to learn the story with picture books.

They demonstrated how clever they are by flying over us and communicating with sounds. Parkside staff show how lovely the photos are with the Barn Owl. An email regarding children’s photos with the owl has been sent out to parents and carers.

Parkside Rocks!

It was amazing to see so many children sign up to Irock sessions, where they will be learning: drums, guitar, piano or vocals. We are excited to see all your amazing progressions, keep it up.

Diversity and Equality at Parkside

/in /by

Dear Parents, Carers, Staff and Governors,

We are very fortunate to have such a wonderfully rich and diverse community at Parkside and as such we want to build on this incredible tapestry by sharing with you a new initiative the children staff and families are currently taking part in.

I have attached a letter which details how we will do this but I would like you all to make yourselves available on Friday 18th October from 1:30pm where you are invited to celebrate with us through song, dance and most importantly food at a special event.

The cultural heritage that every child brings to our community is very special and should be celebrated and shared. We look forward to seeing many of you at this event where the children’s learning will be given a strong focus and will offer you an opportunity to be a part of their learning.
