This Week

We have had another busy week here at Co-op Academy Parkland, our pupils are settling back into the routines of the school day.  As you walk around school and into classes,  there is such a positive energy and pupils can’t wait to talk about their learning.

Home Reading
Next week, Mrs Wierzbianski will be re-launching our reading rewards during Monday’s assembly.  In KS1, your child will bring home two reading books – one linked to the phonics they are learning in school and one for pleasure which they will have chosen themselves.  KS2 will bring home an Accelerated Reader book which is suited to their current reading and chosen by themselves.  EYFS will have a separate message about reading later this week.
You can help your child by listening to them read each night for ten minutes then signing their reading record book.  Reading books and reading records need to be brought into school every day so pupils can use them in class.

Parent Forum Dates
Would you like to shape the future of Co-op Academy Parkland?  Would you be able to spare an hour every half term to come in and talk about how we can continue to improve?  Do you love coffee or tea?  Are you partial to a biscuit (or two, we won’t judge)?  If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’ please come along and be part of our Parent Forums in school.  The dates are:

30th September 9-10am

25th November 9-10am

27th January 2022 9-10am2

4th March 9-10am

5th May 9-10am

We hope to see as many of you as possible and can’t wait to hear your ideas for Parkland.

Morrisons It’s Good to Grow
We have signed up to be part of the Good to Grow scheme from Morrisons.  Every time you shop with them and spend £10 or more in store or online, we can earn one Grow Token.  All you have to do is select Co-op Academy Parkland on your app then swipe your MyMorrisons card or use your app every time you shop and for every £10 you spend, we earn a Grow Token which we can use towards gardening equipment for our school.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the good weather and we will see you bright and early on Monday morning!

Year 1 and 2 Phonics Books

Year 1 and 2 have started their phonics sessions this week, to help the children with their phonics we will be sending home a book for you to read with your child each Friday. These books must be returned to school every day, especillly on Friday so that we can change them for the next book.

Please make sure you look after these books as we will have to charge £5 to replace each missing book as they are part of a set. Thank you and happy reading!
