This week

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post, we have had another busy and productive week!  There will be lots of events happening over the final two weeks so please keep your eyes peeled to our website and social media pages for more information. 

Careers Week and Enterprise Day

This week, we have been fortunate to have visits from a number of people who came to talk about the work they do for a living, the skills they need and what opportunities there are for our children’s futures.  On Tuesday, Years 5 and 6 were joined by Northern Power Grid where our pupil impressed Ben with their knowledge of energy.

On Thursday, Years 5 and 6 were visited by Zurich Insurance who talked about the skills needed for their jobs which links with our Skillsbuilder programme.  We were also joined by Blue Watch from West Yorkshire Fire Service who showed the children the fire engine and talked about training too.

Today, we have had our Enterprise Day where each class has had a pop up shop as part of the Fiver Challenge which they have been working towards each day this week.  Their challenge was to ‘grow’ a fiver and all the money they make will be donated to each class’ charity of their choice.  We will let you know which charities they have decided to support in next week’s Parkland Post when we announce which class won the Fiver Challenge!  Thank you to everyone who came along to support us.

Our School Dog – Jet

Jet joined our children earlier this week and had a great time being looked after by our children, especially those in Year 5 who have taken a shine to him!  Having Jet in school is great for wellbeing and has helped with their understanding of how to look after a pet.  I’m just not sure who is enjoying themselves more: Jet or our children!

Skills Builder Home Challenge

As always, if you complete the challenge, please send us a photograph of your child’s work via our Facebook Messenger and they will receive 10 Parkland Points and their name on our Skills Builder Wall of Fame!

And finally…

We hope you have a wonderful weekend in the sunshine.  Mrs Wierzbianski will be soaking in the rays on the beach with her family and Ms Pascoe will be running the Ilkley Half Marathon!  We’ll see you bright and early on Monday morning for another week of learning!
