Lets see what’s coming up!
Autumn days are here, our pupils have been noticing the changes around school such as the leaves turning beautiful shades of gold, orange and red as they have been completing their Daily Mile. Staff have been challenging our pupils to see how many laps of the playground they can do during our morning playtimes and we are developing an awareness of how exercise is helping us to be happy and healthy.
Harvest Festival
Ms Barkerwood has been leading our singing assemblies for the last two weeks, it has been a while since we have heard ‘Cauliflowers Fluffy’ echoing around our corridors and we have definitely missed it! We are hoping to be able to invite parents and carers in for our Harvest Festival; we will give further information nearer the time.
Keeping Children Safe in the car parks-
We wanted to make you aware that both of our car parks are in use by staff and visitors at all times. Please help us to keep you and your children safe by making sure you supervise them if you are near these areas.
Times Tables at Co-op Academy Parkland
This week, the whole school began our big push on times tables. Anyone passing school at the end of playtimes and lunchtimes will have heard every child belting out their times tables in rote – our Year 6s were fabulous at leading the chant and Miss Anson was impressed! Each week, we will have a different times table to focus on and it would be wonderful if you could help by helping your child to practise at home. This week was the 2 times table for KS2 and in KS1, they were counting in ones up to 20, we will announce our new times table on Monday – keep looking at our Facebook page to find out what it is!
We hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy some time outside – why not try to complete your Daily Mile somewhere different. You could always take a photograph of you doing the Daily Mile and send it to us through Facebook Messenger as we love to see all the exciting things you get up to!
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!
