Parkland Post - Friday 9th February 2024
Welcome to this week's wintry Parkland Post. I wanted to start by thanking you all for collecting your children so quickly and for being patient as we organised this yesterday as a result of the snowy conditions. Today's non-uniform day was just what we needed to get us ready for the weekend and half term holidays!
CYL
Our fabulous Co-op Young Leaders have received a certificate to mark that they have completed 24 hours of volunteering which I'm sure you'll agree is phenomenal. We are so lucky to have such diligent pupils who ensure they fulfil their jobs every single day; thank you.
Great Big Breakfast #greatbigbreakfast
Breakfast Club had a flipping good time this morning as part of the Great Big Breakfast. They made and flipped pancakes, added fruit and enjoyed bagels, cereal and milk. As you can see, they had a great time! Thank you to our Breakfast Club staff for organising this - we really do appreciate it.
Attendance
This week's winning class was Year 3 with 94.6% - they won an extra playtime on our Attendance Prize Wheel! Our whole school attendance this week was 90.5% which falls short of the target of 96%. We are going to have a BIG push on attendance next half term: any child who reaches 96% or above each week will have a raffle ticket put into a prize draw to win £50 at the end of the half term - you have to be in it to win it!
And finally...
It has been a fabulous half term and it really does seem like it has flown. We normally share our weekend plans but this week, we thought we would share our plans for the holiday. Mrs Wierzbianski is going to stay with friends in Norfolk, Ms Pascoe is spending quality time with family, Mrs Shirra is spending time with her girlie friends for a good catch up and Mr Watson is hopefully getting a ferry into Europe. We hope whatever you decide to do that you enjoy yourselves and stay safe.
We are back on Monday 19th February where our doors will open bright and early at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am; see you then and thank you for your support!
