This week

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post at the end of what has been a magnificent start to our school year!  

Attendance 
This week, we sent out our green, amber and red letters to show the level of attendance this half term.  It is incredibly important that your child is in school every day and is on time as pupils begin learning as soon as they arrive.  

Covid-19
Please remember to social distance wherever possible over half term and if you begin to display any symptoms, book a PCR test so you can keep all members of our school community safe. 
We hope you have a lovely holiday.  Don’t forget that we return on Tuesday 2nd November as we have a training day on Monday 1st November – we can’t wait to see you all for Autumn 2!

Harvest 
We were joined by Rev. Mary Winters for our Harvest Festival who talked about gratitude; what each of us should be thankful for.  Our pupils made us proud with their contributions as they talked about food from around the world, Fairtrade and climate change and the singing was simply beautiful.  Thank you for all of your contributions to our local food bank at Rev Winters’ church; it will help so many families.      

This week’s learning
In assembly on Monday, Mrs Wierzbianski had some volunteers from each class in Years 1-6.  Each class had worked together to create a Learning Charter and decided what their rights, responsibilities were and what consequences and rewards were available to them.  Each volunteer spoke clearly and communicated well with the whole school which can be quite a nerve-wracking experience.  It was a shining example of how we can succeed together which is one of our Co-op Ways of Being.

Clubs

Sports clubs for both Key stages, ND Dance and Drama continue as normal after half term.

Coding Club with Miss Connors will start on Monday the 8th of November (10 Places for Y4 and Y5).

Science Club has now finished and Christmas Craft will start on Tuesdays after half term (10 Places for Y5 and Y6).

Breakdancers have had a text about the next block of lessons, please let us know if you do or don’t want your place. Each childs parent/carer on the list has recieved a text. The cost for the next block will be £18 due on or before the 22nd October. Thank you.
