Parkland Post - Friday 14th June 2024
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post in what has been such a cold week - can someone please find out where our summer has gone? We have lots of events planned over the course of June and July, please remember to check our events page on the website so you know what is happening.
World of Work Week
Next week is our World of Work Week where our children will be finding out all about different careers and meeting lots of people who are coming in to speak about their career journeys. It will all begin with a launch assembly for our children where they will try to guess the career and Year 6 will have a week filled with lots of amazing activities and opportunities.
Summer Fair
Our Summer Fair is taking place on the 25th June from 2:30-4pm (hopefully in our school playground). There will be class stalls where our children will be selling their Enterprise projects and trying to grow a fiver; the winning class will win a prize! We will also have other stalls selling lots of different items. Mrs Wierzbianski will be putting herself forward for 'Soak the Teacher' so get your sponges and Super Soakers at the ready!
We are holding a 'Summer Wear for Summer Fair' non-uniform day next Friday and are asking for donations towards our summer fair tombola and prize hampers such as toiletries, chocolate, gifts etc. Thank you in advance for your help with this.

The Royal Navy visit to Year 6
The Royal Navy North East team visited our Year 6s this week! This consisted of practical leadership tasks, problem-solving, Military drills, Sports, fitness and STEM whilst allowing us to provide career opportunities in the Royal Navy. The children learnt so much and it raised awareness of the Royal Navy’s key roles and opportunities!
Tag Rugby Tournament
A team of Year 6 pupils had the opportunity to attend the Bradford Bulls Tag Rugby tournament yesterday. They learnt so many new skills, had the chance to play a number of games against other schools and did themselves and our academy proud. Each pupil to attend received a certificate which was presented to them today.
Attendance Matters
Our attendance was better this week and is definitely going in the right direction. Our winning class was Year 2 with 95.9% and they won a Movie Afternoon! Well done to everyone who has been in school every day and on time. Remember that you will be entered into our £50 Prize Draw which will be drawn at the end of this term - you have to be in it to win it!
And finally...
We hope you have a fantastic weekend and that the sun makes an appearance at some point! Mrs Wierzbianski is going to the Ilkley Food and Drink Festival, Mrs Shirra and Mr Watson are celebrating father's day and Ms Pascoe is celebrating her brother's 40th birthday. Whatever you decide to do, we hope you enjoy it and we will see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
