Parkland Post – 17th December
This week
Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post; what a week it has been! It has been wonderful to see so many parents and carers attending our Christmas events – thank you for doing so in such a way that has kept our school community safe.
The Nativity, which was held on Monday and Tuesday, was incredibly special. All the staff and visitors were impressed at how well each child delivered their lines and how beautifully they all sang – it was impossible not to have those toes tapping!
Our KS2 Carol Service on Wednesday was a delight too. Rev. Mary Winters joined us and talked to the pupils about gratitude and how we should be thankful for what we have. The children excelled themselves singing in all of our chosen songs and performing sign language in our rendition of Little Donkey. On Wednesday, school looked even more festive as we came in our Christmas jumpers – there were so many different designs and it brought a smile to everyone’s faces! Our wonderful kitchen team prepared and served a delicious Christmas dinner complete with crackers on the tables and singing of Christmas songs; it was wonderful to see our pupils and staff enjoying themselves so much.
Remembering Justin Bowman
During our concerts this week, a collection box was available as many parents had asked if they could make a donation towards a memoriam for Justin Bowman who sadly died recently. The donations will be used for a bench in school in consultation with Justin’s family. Thank you to all those who have made a donation. If anyone would still like to make a donation, they can do so via our school office.
Return to school in January
We have a training day on Tuesday 4th January 2022 and pupils return to school on Wednesday 5th January – a text will be sent out nearer the time to remind you.
We look forward to seeing everyone in the new year and would like to thank you for your continued support this year. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, enjoy the holidays and we will see you all bright and early on the 5th January!
