This week

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  Our children have been buzzing as the weather has been glorious allowing for the Daily Mile to be completed in the sunshine as well as taking part in our Big Wheel and Walk.  Don’t forget, this is running from 21st March until the 1st April and everyone who takes part either walking, cycling or scooting to school gets an extra workout before and after school and will receive a certificate for taking part.

Northern Ballet
Our KS2 children had the most amazing time with Edgar Lomas from Northern Ballet who came in yesterday to teach a ballet session with them.  Our pupils were amazed at the core strength needed in order to perform ballet and worked muscles that they had never used before!  Our thanks go to Miss Spence who organised the sessions, we hope to have Northern Ballet in again for further workshops.

Parents’ Evening
Our Parents’ Evenings will finally be able to take place in person!  They are to be held on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th May.  A separate letter will be sent home with your child/ren soon and if you could sign up for a slot by Monday 9th May that will give you more chance of being able to have the time/s that you would prefer.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend – the forecast says it’s going to be warm and sunny.  Don’t forget to put your clocks forward early Sunday morning – the lighter nights are coming!  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning.

Skills Builder Task

If anyone manages to take part, please take some photographs, send them to Facebook Messenger and we will add your child to our Skills Builder Wall of Fame and they will gain 5 Parkland Points!  You might even be able to make it a BBQ if the temperatures stay high.
