Parkland Post - Friday 5th July 2024

Welcome to this week's Parkland Post, it has certainly been an action packed one!  We only have two weeks left of school and have a wide number of events taking place so please make sure you are regularly checking our website for dates and times.  Our Sports Days are coming up on the 17th July with Reception and Key Stage 1 (Years 1&2) from 9:30am and KS2 (Years 3 to 6) from 1:30pm - we do hope you will join us to cheer everybody along and maybe even take part in the adult race!

Poetry Competition 

Last Friday, a group of Year 5 and 6 children visited 1 Angel Square in Manchester to perform in a Poetry Competition.  They had practised the poem "If all the world were..." and delivered it well.  They enjoyed being part of the day, were in awe of the building and had a brilliant experience overall.  Thank you to everyone who organised the event.  

Dance and Dine

Our first Dance and Dine event took place yesterday and it was a huge success.  There were so many families who joined us and had such a good time!  The evening began with family bingo and then it was time to work up an appetite with some dancing with Ceri from YACAD.  Once we had done all of that, it was time to all sit down and eat together to enjoy a delicious meal prepared by our very own Community Pioneer, Paula.  It was such a fun event and we will definitely be repeating it soon! 

Attendance Matters

Our whole school attendance this week is 91.6% and falls short of our target of 96%.  The winning class this week was Year 6 who had 96.2% and won a movie afternoon - well done!  Remember, if your child is in every day and on time, they will have a raffle ticket put into our prize draw to win £50 - you have to be in it to win it!

Class Assemblies

Each class will be doing an assembly to showcase what they have been doing in class.  The dates for these are:

Reception - 18th July at 2:45pm

Year 1 - 11th July at 2:45pm

Fundamentals Competition

15 of our Year 2 children had a funtastic morning at the 'Fundamentals' sports event which was held at Co-op Academy Priesthorpe.  The children had a brilliant time taking part in lots of events and even came back with SILVER medals!  Well done Year 2!

And finally...

We hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you decide to do and that the weather improves as it is supposed to be July!  Mrs Wierzbianski is going to be visiting the South Lakes with her family, Ms Pascoe will be watching the football, Mrs Shirra will be going out for a walk and Mr Watson will be spending the day in Leeds.
