Parkland Post – 23rd June

Welcome to another edition of the Parkland Post!  It has been Assessment Week this week for years 1, 3, 4 and 5, they have shown such resilience throughout and we are proud of them all.  It has been another warm week and our fabulous PTA have been selling ice pops again to generate money which will go towards school discos and other school events – thank you.  Next week, we are having a Wellbeing Week so keep a look out for further information from Mr Watson who will share it on Class Dojo.  

Our key dates document has been updated with timings for various events such as Sports Days.  Please keep checking this document and our website for the most up to date information and come and ask if you have any queries about any of them.  Don’t forget we have a training day on the 3rd July.

Co-op Young Leaders

Our Co-op Young Leaders were presented with their badges in this morning’s Celebration Assembly which marks the beginning of their journey as ambassadors within our academy.  On Monday, they worked at developing communications skills, teamwork and confidence building and finished by delivering a presentation.  They did an amazing job and represented Parkland incredibly well.

Family First

There is a new magazine which is supporting the NHS in improving the physical and mental wellbeing of families living in England.  The link can be found below which opens an e-magazine for you to zoom in on the pages and read the various articles:

Our Early Years Open Morning is this Saturday from 9:30-11:30am where anyone who is interested in seeing our Nursery and Reception provision can come and meet our team, take part in lots of free activities and have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have.  Please feel free to share this information with anyone who might be looking for a Nursery or Reception place

Skills Builder Home Challenge

This week’s challenge is one to get you ready for next week’s Wellbeing Week.  As always, if you manage to complete this challenge, let your teacher know or share it to Class Dojo.  There will be 10 Skills Builder points available to anyone who takes part. 

And finally…

 The weekend is upon us, we hope you enjoy some time to relax and recharge for the week ahead.  Mrs Wierzbianski will be at the Early Years Open Morning on Saturday and is then going to spend time with her sister and nieces.  Mr Watson will also be at our Early Years Open Morning, Mrs Shirra will be going to Harewood House for a family day out and Ms Pascoe will be paddleboarding with her family.  Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a wonderful weekend and we will see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am – we will see you then!
