What a fantastic start to Forest School for Year 5A today! The first session launched their class text, Wolf Brother, brilliantly. The children fully embraced the spirit of the story as they worked in their teams to build impressive dens, showing great teamwork, creativity and problem-solving skills. They made friendship bracelets within their teams and even began crafting their own bows, which they're excited to continue developing. Excellent behaviour throughout, fantastic teamwork and to top it all off - even the sun was shining for them! Thank you to the forest school team for planning such a brilliant session! #proudtobeparkside

What an incredible day at school today! We were absolutely thrilled to welcome the amazing team from the Midlands Air Ambulance into school. There was such a buzz around the building all day - especially with everyone proudly wearing red to show their support! The children were fascinated learning about the vital, life-saving work the crew does and they absolutely loved the opportunity to sit inside the helicopter. Midlands Air Ambulance is such a fantastic cause, providing critical care and responding to emergencies when every second counts. We are so proud to support an organisation that makes such a huge difference in our community. A huge thank you to the crew for taking the time to visit us and inspire the children today - what a special experience! #proudtobeparkside

Today (as part of their D&T learning) our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils put their cooking skills into action, preparing a delicious Moroccan spiced chickpea stew served with couscous. The children showed great teamwork, confidence and creativity in the kitchen and, most importantly, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We are so proud of their enthusiasm and effort. Well done, Year 5 and Year 6! #proudtobeparkside
