This week

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  Our children made us proud this week when they spoke to Mr Featherstone, our Vice Chair of the Academy Governing Council about the trips and experiences they have had this year.  They talked fondly about where they had been and what they had learnt along the way.  Years 3 and 4 were able to tell us a great deal about how the Vikings went into battle and are looking forward to being able to share their Egyptian death masks with parents at an event which is detailed below.  Year 6 talked about how they developed resilience and overcame their fears when caving and Year 5 were looking forward to a visit to a local mosque.  

Careers Week and Enterprise Day/Fiver Challenge

Next week, we will be having our Careers Week which will end with an Enterprise Day on Friday 8th July.  Each class will be given £5 to ‘grow’ – they will have to decide as a class what sort of enterprise they are going to take part in, prepare and resource it and share it with you all on Friday afternoon at 2:30pm.  We will be welcoming parents and carers into school to look at the children’s stall/enterprise ideas – please don’t forget to bring some pennies as each class will be trying to raise as much money as they can; the winning class receiving a certificate for their achievements.  Careers Week is an opportunity to develop our Co-op Ways of Being and Skills Builder skills.  Who knows, there might be a budding entrepreneur in our midst.

Transition Day 

On Wednesday 6th July, our children will be meeting their new class teachers in preparation for the new academic year.  They will have an opportunity to set goals for the new year, discuss their hopes and what they’re most looking forward to doing.  Our new Reception class will have their transition from 10am and have their lunch at 11:30am.  Our Year 6 pupils will have their transition on Tuesday 5th July if they are attending Immanuel College and Wednesday the 6th July if they are attending Hanson.     

Year 6 Performance

We are delighted to invite you to watch the Year 6 end of year performance ‘Go for Gold’ on Thursday 14th July at 1:30pm in our school hall.  A letter will be sent out to Year 6 families next week for you to apply for tickets which will be allocated on a first come first served basis.  The play promises to have you laughing, crying and everything in between as you are taken on a journey to Athens in Ancient Greek times.
