1 Palm were temporarily evicted from their classroom yesterday for the fitting of new lighting. 5 Oak kindly invited them into their class to spend some time together. The Year 5’s acted as one-to-one TAs, supporting the younger children with their maths lesson and then took them up to the Hall for some table tennis coaching. Credit to 5 Oak for being so kind and such great role models. Mr Hillier taught them some basic principles of coaching. They really thought about how to be a coach and to break tasks down into smaller skills and then build from that. They supported the younger children well and helped them make super progress with the table tennis in particular. Credit to 1 Palm for being very brave in an unfamiliar environment and for listening so well to their older peers. Everyone then went out together for an extended playtime. This sort of kindness and collaboration is what Parkdale is all about!
