Parkland Post – 19th November
This week
Miss Connors began the week delivering an assembly which focused one the this year’s theme ‘One Kind Word’. She began by asking our pupils what kindness means to them and there were lots of good ideas from them. Miss Connors then showed images of reminders of how to be kind and asked how we would put this into action across our school.
Times Tables of the Week
This week, KS2 have been reciting their 8x tables again so they can become more confident with this knowledge. We have added a ‘bop’ to ensure we all stay together as we call them out. In KS1, the pupils have been counting forwards in 2s from 20.
Learning across KS1 this week:
In Year 1, they have been adding and subtracting within 10 and finding a total. The pupils worked together as a whole class and then worked independently on these calculations.
In Year 2, they have been putting themselves into the role of Goldilocks who has written a letter of apology to the 3 Bears. The pupils have used Talk 4 Writing techniques to discuss their ideas before writing them and have then completed their first draft of the letter. Piper has included an apology and has tried to make amends which you can see in her writing below:
We hope you have an enjoyable weekend. Please remember to build in some time each day to listen to your child read, send a photograph to our Facebook page if you ‘catch’ them reading and help them to practise their times tables. We will see everyone bright and early on Monday morning!

There will be lots of parent events, Christmas activities, fundraisers and other fun things happening over the festive period so please take a look at our events page overv the next few weeks of term for all of the information.
