Parkland Post – 20 May
This week
Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post. We have four days of school before we finish for half term. We will return on Monday 6th June ready for Summer 2. Your child’s teachers will be sharing what each class will be learning and how you can support them at home with reading and homework projects.
Rainbow Week
We have been celebrating Rainbow Week across our academy where we have read books, written poetry, had author visits and been able to express ourselves with a non-uniform day! Our kitchen team made a delicious rainbow themed feast for everyone to enjoy. Rainbow Week is just part of the work we do at Co-op Academy Parkland to celebrate diversity and equality which we believe is an important part of our curriculum. Keep a look out on our social media pages for photos of this week’s events.
New lunch menus
Our delicious new lunch menus are now live on the school meals website. It runs on a three weekly basis. The link can be found below so you can see which meals your child can enjoy each day (just remember to select Co-op Academy Parkland).
Egyptian ModRoc Death Masks Workshop
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it in to paint the Egyptian Death Masks in our second workshop – they look absolutely incredible! It has been fabulous to have everyone in our academy again, especially as so many of you have impressive art and design skills.
