Headteacher’s Newsletter – Friday 18th December 2020 – Autumn 14
THERE HAVE BEEN 2 CONFIRMED CASES OF CORONAVIRUS RECORDED AT PARKSIDE COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL THIS WEEK
And so we arrive at the end of another Autumn term and look forward to a much needed rest. Your kindness and generosity has been overwhelming and on behalf of the staff I would like to offer our sincere thanks. The children have had a wonderful week and really enjoyed their Christmas parties and pantomime. We continue to be amazed at the quality of the work they produce, they really are a credit to you as parents and carers. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Christmas and peaceful New Year.
SCHOOL RECOMMENCES FOR THE SPRING TERM ON TUESDAY 5TH JANUARY 2021
The word of the week is – BULL WEEK – Bull week is a Yorkshire word for Christmas, which in today’s world might sound a little odd. But during the 1800s, workers in Sheffield’s cutlery factories were rewarded with a whole roast bull if they finished all the additional pre-Christmas work on schedule for Christmas Day.
SOME OF THE CHILDREN’S WORK –
