Parkland Post - Friday 4th October 2024

Welcome to this week's Parkland Post!  It has been another busy week in the academy, we have had lots of visitors who said how welcoming it felt when they walked around and how lovely our children are which is always wonderful to hear! 

Safety First! 

Yesterday, we were visited by Margot and Sarf from Incommunities and Mick from Metropolitan Demolition who talked to the children about the site where York House stood.  They discussed site safety and reminded everyone that no matter how exciting the empty site might look, the hoardings were there to keep everyone out and safe.  Margot asked our children what they would like to see being built there instead of York House and we had some brilliant suggestions.  

Family Fun Afternoon 

Thank you to everyone who came along to our Family Fun Afternoon, we really loved having you all in classes and taking part in the activities.  I would like to give a special mention to YACAD who came along to lead the inflatable obstacle course, clay workshops, cheerleading sessions and the food hampers - we are so lucky to have your support.  

Attendance Matters

We were slightly down on last week's whole school attendance at 90.2% - can we all have a big effort to be in school every day and on time next week please.  The winning class was Year 4 with 95.4% who won a new game for their classroom - well done!!

Raffle Winners!

River in Year 1 won the raffle for yesterday's lunchtime, Paisley, Isabel and Malik won the Macmillan raffle prizes - well done to all of you! 

And finally...

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the autumnal weather - let's hope the sunshine continues.  Ms Pascoe is going to take her boys to swimming lessons, football and a birthday party, Mrs Shirra will be catching up with friends, Mr Watson will be enjoying an autumn walk with friends and I will be visiting another university with my daughter.  Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a great time doing it.  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am - see you then!
