On Friday, some children from Year 6 had a journalistic writing morning. They researched news stories, interviewed people, took photographs and recorded podcasts and television news programs. It was great fun and they learned a lot! Please enjoy an article by 6RS literacy group below:

PARKHEAD GOES DOTTY FOR CHILDREN IN NEED

On Friday 18th November, the staff and children at Parkhead Primary School went dotty raising money for Children in Need.

Everybody came to school dressed in as many spots as they could, paying £1 for the privilege. All of the children looked fabulous when we got together for our assembly. In the afternoon, there was a spectacular bring and buy sale, as well as a number of competitions and games.

When asked how she felt about the school being covered in spots, Mrs Bailey said: “It was fantastic! It showed how much the children from Parkhead support Children in Need.”

We are all very grateful to everybody who has helped and supported us. Hopefully, we will have raised over £1000 for Children in Need.

Thank you to our parent helpers, volunteers and staff who made our coffee afternoon such a success. Thank you to all the families for attending and helping us raise funds for the school too. Foundation stage , Key stage one and the school choir sang songs throughout the afternoon.
