Parkland Post – 18th March
This week
Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post, our pupils have had another busy week! It was lovely to see our Year 1 children doing some planting outside as part of their focus on recognising the differences between living and non-living things. We have had some visits from our local PCSO Andy Blood who came to talk to our Year 5 and 6 pupils. He was also able to spend some time with our Reception class talking about his job – they even had the chance to look at a police car!
On behalf of Justin Bowmans family we have a collection tin for the charity ‘4Louis’ in school. There is a collection tub in main office and we have charity bands and lanyards for sale in Nursery from next week. Please ask us if you would like to buy something or make a donation.
Skills builder task
This week’s Skills Builder family challenge is to work together to create a piece of natural art. Andy Goldsworthy is an artist who was educated locally in Harrogate and at Bradford College and specialises in natural art – you could Google his art work and have a look at some of the images. If you complete this challenge, please send a photograph and there will be 5 Parkland Points for each child who takes part and they will go on our wall of fame in school!
Police Visit in Reception
Reception had some very special visitors today and they enjoyed every moment of it! They got to sit in the police car, learn about what police officers wear, the different vehicles they use and what they do to help us. Your child will have photos uploaded on to Tapestry in the coming days.
