Eco Conference at 1 Angel Square

 

Six of our Eco Warriors represented our academy at the Primary Eco Conference this week which took place at 1 Angel Square.  Our children presented to the other academies and showed everyone what we have been developing at our academy this year.  The day began with a look around the grounds of 1 Angel Square exploring the different habitats available - this was led by members of the Royal Horticultural Society.  They also learnt about the importance of worms with an enormous wormery and Fair and Funky designed some brilliant activities for the Eco Warriors to do - making milk bottle swallows and pedalling their smoothie bike!  Thank you to everyone involved in making this event such a success.

Family Quiz Night

 

On the 2nd May, the PTA will be running their first Family Quiz Night from 5:30pm in the main hall.  It will be teams of 6 which need to include at least 2 children and you will be able to book tickets through Arbor (more details will follow soon).  Nibbles and soft drinks will be provided and there will be lots of prizes throughout the evening!  Get thinking about your team names!

 

Attendance Matters

 

This week's whole school attendance was 92.5% which is below the national average set by the government.  This week's attendance winner was Year 6 with 97%. They won a craft set for their class (and an extra playtime as they were above 96%).  Please be aware that no holidays requests will be authorised during term time but a holiday form will still need to be completed - thank you.

 

Our KS1 Summer Team

 

We are thrilled to let you know that Miss Hunter is remaining with us in Year 1 and that Mrs Dines-Allen will be teaching Year 2 Monday to Wednesday each week with Mrs Rhodes who will continue to teach Year 2 every Thursday and Friday.  I am sure you will all join me in giving them a warm Parkland welcome - they will be introducing themselves on ClassDojo next week.  

 

And finally...

 

We hope you have a fabulous weekend and that you manage to get out into the fresh air for a trip to the park or for a walk.  The forecast looks like it might be a bit rainy but hopefully it won't be too bad - Mrs Wierzbianski will still be walking Jet come rain or shine!  This weekend, Mrs Shirra will be spending time with family, Mr Watson will be seeing friends, Ms Pascoe will be watching her boys play in a football tournament and Mrs Wierzbianski will be relaxing.  Whatever you decide to do, we hope you enjoy it and we'll see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
