Parkland Post - Friday 17th November 2023
Welcome to this week's brightly coloured, spot-filled Parkland Post! As you probably have worked out, it has been Children In Need Day - we have been sporting our most colourful, spotty, Pudsey-related clothing in order to raise money for some amazing charities. Thank you to everyone who has donated - your help means such a lot to so many people. Our main prize in the raffle was won by Mya in Year 5 - congratulations; we hope that you enjoy your winnings! We will update you with our final total at the end of the day - thank you for being so generous.
Children in Need Poster Competition

The winners were presented with a certificate and a chocolate treat! Positive Relationships Matter!
Big Family Breakfast
We loved having everyone for breakfast this morning! Thank you to Mrs Denby and Mrs Peacock for cooking and preparing the delicious feast. The pay as you feel money has been added to our main Children In Need donations.
Parents' Evenings - 21st and 22nd November 2023
Appointment times have been sent home with your child. Please let the office know if you haven't received them. Mrs Flaherty will be available both days and will be able to support you with information about our Community Shop and any other support you might need.
Reception Stay and Play 23rd November 1:45-3:15pm
Reception parents and carers are warmly invited to our Reception Stay and Play where you will be able to take part in lots of different activities, and it will give you a chance to see how our provision works. Please come to the normal morning entrance and staff will be there to greet you.
And Finally...
We hope you enjoy the weekend and manage to get outside in the fresh air (hopefully the rain stays away). Mrs Wierzbianski is going to the theatre, Mr Watson is going to have some well-earned rest, Ms Pascoe is taking her boys out on their bikes and Mrs Shirra is spending time with her girls.
