Parkland Post - Friday 26th January 2024

Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post! We have been very busy across the academy and there has been some amazing learning happening.  Year 3 were investigating structures and following one of our Ways of Being, Succeed Together, as they worked as a team to create bridges.  Year 1 have been impressing me with their phonics knowledge and their excitement for reading.  Mrs Shirra launched the Blue Peter Reading Badge in Monday’s assembly and we have had a few reviews from our children which we will be sending off soon.  If anyone else would like to take part in this, you could have a look at the website here:

Time to Talk Day - Thursday 1st February 

 

We are taking part in Time to Talk Day in association with the charity Mind.  Children and staff will be taking part in lots of activities during the day to encourage them to talk to each other.  

 

NSPCC Number Day - Thursday 1st February

 

We will also be taking part in the NSPCC Number Day and your child can come dressed in something number or shape related.  Mrs Wierzbianski is going to get her daughter to decorate a white t-shirt with lots of maths symbols on.  We are asking for a donation to help raise money for a fantastic charity.  We will also be having a bake sale and any money will go towards the donation fund.  We will be sharing more details on our social media pages on Monday about this.

Attendance Matters

 

This week’s winners of the Attendance award were Year 2 with 94.1% - well done to them.  There were no classes who were at 96% or above which is the Government target we are working to achieve so we will set the challenge for next week that every class who manages this will get an extra playtime.

 

And finally…

 

We hope you have a fabulous weekend. The weather is looking like it might be a bit calmer.  Mrs Wierzbianski is going out for afternoon tea and can’t wait, Mr Watson is going to be going bowling for a friend's birthday. We will see you all bright and early on Monday morning where our doors open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
