Parkland Post – 4th March

This week

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post!  We have had a fabulous time as we celebrated World Book Day as it gave us all an opportunity to share stories with each other and dress up as either a favourite character or wear pyjamas on a bedtime stories theme. 

Our Book Breakfast was a great success as many of you joined us to create bookmarks, front covers for new books and complete puzzles.  The breakfast was delicious and we would like to thank everyone involved in setting everything up.  
At lunchtime, the kitchen team created a special menu to celebrate World Book Day which the children loved – thank you to Amanda and the team for all of your hard work. 

Above all, it was a day to celebrate books, characters, illustrations and helps to raise the profile of reading, which can only be a good thing! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember to use your World Book Day voucher to get yourself a new book.  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning!

Skills builder task

This half term, we are focusing on the Teamwork skill.  This weekend’s challenge is a fun one – see who can build the tallest tower.  You could send a photograph to our Facebook page via Messenger which we will add to our display board in school.  There will be five Parkland Points for everyone who takes part; I can’t wait to see your towers!
