Wow, it has been an incredibly busy week!  The children around our academy were simply buzzing with tales from our school discos and summer fair this week – they have all had the most amazing time.  None of these events could take place without the help of our school community and our fabulous PTA – thank you to everyone who helped out. 

Welcome to another edition of the Parkland Post!  It has been Assessment Week this week for years 1, 3, 4 and 5, they have shown such resilience throughout and we are proud of them all.  It has been another warm week and our fabulous PTA have been selling ice pops again to generate money which will go towards school discos and other school events – thank you.  Next week, we are having a Wellbeing Week so keep a look out for further information from Mr Watson who will share it on Class Dojo.  

Welcome to a very sunny Parkland Post!  Our children have returned after the half term holiday ready to learn with great attitudes.  We have had a number of visitors to our academy this week who have all commented on how polite and helpful our children were which makes me feel so proud.  

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post (Part 1), we hope you have enjoyed the weekend and that you have managed to bask in the sunshine!  We have a busy final week with KS1 still working on their SATS and our Year 6 pupils continuing with their writing so its’ really important that they are in school every day and on time.  

This week

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  I wanted to start by saying how proud the staff are of our Year 6 pupils who completed their SATS this week – they showed just how resilient and mature they all are.  We will still be focusing on writing over the next few weeks so please make sure your child is in school every day.  

Rainbow Week

Next week, we will be having Rainbow Week where we are celebrating diversity, equality, and the freedom to be who we want to be!  On Friday 20th May, we are having an Express Yourself Day where you can come to school in non-uniform.  The kitchen team are also going to be doing a special rainbow themed lunch.
