Parkland Post – 12th May
Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post! We have certainly had a busy week in our academy, even though it has only been 4 days. Our Year 6 pupils have done us and themselves proud working incredibly hard completing their SATS papers, showing resilience and having the chance to show off their knowledge.
Year 6 SATs
Well done to our Year 6s for their amazing hard work this week! You are all superstars and we celebrated with a pizza party to end our week!
Year 2 SATs
From next week, our Year 2 children will be taking their KS1 SATS, this will be done over the course of the next few weeks. Please make sure that your child is in school, on time and in every day – thank you.
Key dates
More dates will be added and communicated with you as we organise trips, Early Years Stay and Play sessions and parent workshops where you will be able to come in and take part in an activity with your child.
Parents’ Evenings – 16th & 17th May
If you haven’t managed to get your slips in to secure a parents’ evening appointment, please send it in on Monday morning and we’ll get you booked in. There will also be a jumble sale during our Parents’ Evening on the 17th May 4-5:30pm. You can donate quality clothes and toys and the money raised will be spent entirely on our pupils.
Ofsted Parent Meeting – Tuesday 23rd May at 3:15pm
Following our recent Ofsted report, we will be holding a meeting for parents and carers where we can share our plans for growth and improvement. There will be an opportunity to ask any questions you might have relating to the report so we can work in partnership with our families. The meeting will take place on Tuesday 23rd May at 3:15pm in the main hall – we look forward to welcoming you there.
Skills Builder Challenge
This weekend’s challenge is a great one as you will be able to help the adults around your home and if you complete it, there are 5 Skills Builder points available! You could send us a photograph of your list or people doing the jobs you have assigned them. It’s a really good example of Succeed Together and Show You Care – two of our Co-op Ways of Being!
And finally…
We hope you have a fabulous weekend and get to enjoy the weather (don’t get too excited but it looks like it might be quite warm!) Mrs Wierzbianski and Ms Pascoe are going to walk Jet and watch the Rob Burrows Run for All Marathon! Mr Watson is going out in Leeds for a day out and Mrs Shirra is taking her girls for a bike ride in the park.
