• Riley: Barnsley Young Champion 2019

  Fri 21 Jun 2019 Ms Ward

  Today in our Friday Reward Assembly, we had the opportunity to say a massive 'Well done' to Riley.  Last week Riley was invited to the Barnsley Young Champions Awards Ceremony, along with Max in Year 4.  We are immensely proud of both Max and Riley as both Parkside pupils were nominated for a 'Special Achievement Award'.  They have done fantastically well to beat hundreds of other children who were nominated, across Barnsley,  and make it into the final.

   

  Congratulations to Riley who was the overall winner of this 'Special Achievement Award' and he proudly brought his trophy and framed certificate into school today so we could celebrate his achievement in Reward Assembly.   Well done, Riley - we are proud of your perseverance, fighting spirit and your self belief! 

  

• Summer Half Term Holiday

  Fri 24 May 2019 Ms Ward

  Today was a fantastic end to a very busy First Summer Term which has seen both Year 6 and Year 2 work so hard preparing for and undertaking their SATs.  We are proud of how hard you have all worked and how mature your attitude has been.

   

  A special congratulations to Alys, Noah, Charlie and Skye who are the first children EVER in Year 2 to receive their Pen Licence.  They received their award in Rewards Assembly this afternoon and it was very well deserved!

   

  Year 5 and F2 also had a lovely afternoon reading to each other.  Year 5 read the story they had just written to F2 and F2 children read their phonics books to Year 5.  Take a look at some of the photos below of our Year 5 story writers and F2 readers.

  Finally I wish you all a lovely Spring Bank Holiday and look forward to seeing you safely back at school on Monday 10th June.

• World Book Day at Parkside

  Thu 07 Mar 2019 Ms Ward

  We have had a great time during World Book Day at Parkside.  Lots of children dressed up and brought their favourite books into school to share.  A big well done to Annabelle Y3 and Lucy Y1 who were Miss Drake's winners in each Key Stage for the best costume.  Almost everyone guessed who Ms Ward had dressed up as.....she gave lots of clues out in assembly on Monday and Tuesday!

  Here are some photos from our day...can you guess who we are?

  

• Kingswood 2019

  Thu 14 Feb 2019 Ms Ward
  Yesterday I went to visit the children at Kingswood to see how they were getting on.  They are all having a fantastic time, enjoying the activities....and the food!  Take a look at some of the pictures and you might be able to spot daredevils Maja and Molly who were the only two children to make it all the way along the high beam (which was the height of two double decker buses!!) and touch the other side. We're looking forward to hearing all about their adventures when they return home on Friday.
