Parkland Post – 1 April
This week
Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post, we hope you have managed to thaw out after the snow yesterday; it certainly has been a crazy weather week!
Leadership Updates
We are delighted to announce that Jack Sowter, the current Headteacher at Co-op Academy Nightingale, will be the new Executive Primary Headteacher for West Yorkshire. This means that he will be working with Miss Connors, the leadership team and all the staff at providing the very best education and opportunities for your children.
Miss Connors is currently absent so Mrs Wierzbianski will be Acting Headteacher until she returns; we wish Miss Connors a speedy recovery and hope to have her back soon. We are also thrilled to announce that Ms Pascoe has been appointed as Assistant Headteacher here at Parkland and we wish her luck as she begins her new role with us.
Oliver Twist
We are very lucky to end the week with M&M productions and Oliver Twist! The children are laughing and singing along from start to end. Year 5 and 6 will be taking part in a workshop straight after, hopefully they come home and tell you all about it!
We hope you have a wonderful weekend and we will see you bright and early on Monday morning for our last week of term!
Skills Builder Task
Once you have completed your story, please take a photo of it and send it to Facebook Messenger or bring it into school on Monday morning. Everyone who completes the challenge will receive 5 Parkland Points and their photo will go on our Skills Builder wall of fame!
