Parkside’s Weekly Newsletter – Friday 7th December 2023 – Autumn 13
This week has been truly magnificent as we start the run up to our Christmas Productions and Carol service. Lots of singing, dancing and acting are in full swing and I am very excited to see the children’s performances next week.
As we end this term without Mr Soyka, we wish him all the best as he takes time to recover from his Hip Surgery. If any children wish to make get well soon cards, I will do my best to make sure they get delivered to him. In the meantime, myself, Mrs Weinstein, Mrs Pereira, Mrs Mattholie and Mrs Smith are all on hand to support during this time.
The word of the week is – CORUSCATE – to emit vivid flashes of light; sparkle; scintillate; gleam.
UNIFORM (Reminder from Mr Soyka) – During the cold winter months it is very important that children come to school in full uniform. The school is always heated to make the children and staff feel comfortable. Sending your child to school in the correct uniform sends the right message; that you are proud to be a part of our school community and we belong together. If your child feels the cold then please make sure they wear a vest under their shirt / tshirt and a school jumper. Thank you for your continued support with this very important school matter.

THIS WEEK’S EXAMPLES OF THE CHILDREN’S WORK
Year 5/6 Football teams: Congratulations to both our girls and boys who took part in the local schools tournament at Borehamwood Football Club. Unfortunately, the boys finished third in their group, therefore did not make the semi-finals. However the girls, not only finished top of their group but they also defeated Saffron Green in the semi-finals, sadly though, they lost 2-0 in the final to Fair Field Primary.
A big thank you must also go to Mr Honour and Miss Bowers who both supported the children during this great local event.
