Parkland Post – 6 May

This week

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  We started the week off with a bang with an author visit from Jenny York.  She led an assembly for the whole school where she read from some of her books and then did workshops all day with each year group.  They all had an amazing time and budding writers in Years 5 and 6 had an opportunity to have a discussion with her about how she became a published author, the skills she uses and the techniques she has developed when writing.

Parent Forum

We were joined this week by parents and our Vice Chair of Governors Ian Featherstone to chat about ideas for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations, an update on a community garden project and even a sneak peek of our new library! 

It would be wonderful to see more parents coming to our next parent forum which will take place on 30.6.22 at 9am.
