    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post. We have four days of school before we finish for half term. We will return on Monday 6th June ready for Summer 2. Your child’s teachers will be sharing what each class will be learning and how you can support them at home with reading and homework projects. 

    Rainbow Week

    We have been celebrating Rainbow Week across our academy where we have read books, written poetry, had author visits and been able to express ourselves with a non-uniform day!  Our kitchen team made a delicious rainbow themed feast for everyone to enjoy.  Rainbow Week is just part of the work we do at Co-op Academy Parkland to celebrate diversity and equality which we believe is an important part of our curriculum.  Keep a look out on our social media pages for photos of this week’s events.

  • Parkland Post – 6 May

    Published 06/05/22

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  We started the week off with a bang with an author visit from Jenny York.  She led an assembly for the whole school where she read from some of her books and then did workshops all day with each year group.  They all had an amazing time and budding writers in Years 5 and 6 had an opportunity to have a discussion with her about how she became a published author, the skills she uses and the techniques she has developed when writing.

    Parent Forum

    We were joined this week by parents and our Vice Chair of Governors Ian Featherstone to chat about ideas for the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations, an update on a community garden project and even a sneak peek of our new library! 

    It would be wonderful to see more parents coming to our next parent forum which will take place on 30.6.22 at 9am.

    Coffee Morning – Monday 9 May

    Join us for our Coffee Morning! We’ll have advice on benefits, jobs and training. Everyone’s welcome: Monday 9 May, 9am-10:30am

  • Parkland Post – 8 April​​​​​​​

    Published 08/04/22

    This week

    Welcome to the final Parkland Post of spring!  It has been a very busy term, with lots of learning taking place.  Your children have worked their socks off and made the staff so proud.  We hope they enjoy a relaxing couple of weeks and that the weather allows for lots of fresh air and playing out.  I have been impressed with the way our children have been able to talk about the work they are doing in their classes – if you get a chance, ask them what they have learnt about this half term and what their favourite part of learning has been.  When we return, they will be beginning new units which your child’s class teachers will share with you at the start of the new term.   

    When we return, we are going to have a big push towards much higher attendance and punctuality for the summer term.  Good attendance and punctuality are important for achieving success at school and are also important life skills.  Most importantly, our academy is a better place when everyone is in it.    
    We hope you have a wonderful holiday and we will see you all bright and early on Monday 25th April!

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post, we hope you have managed to thaw out after the snow yesterday; it certainly has been a crazy weather week!  
    Leadership Updates
    We are delighted to announce that Jack Sowter, the current Headteacher at Co-op Academy Nightingale, will be the new Executive Primary Headteacher for West Yorkshire.  This means that he will be working with Miss Connors, the leadership team and all the staff at providing the very best education and opportunities for your children.  
    Miss Connors is currently absent so Mrs Wierzbianski will be Acting Headteacher until she returns; we wish Miss Connors a speedy recovery and hope to have her back soon.  We are also thrilled to announce that Ms Pascoe has been appointed as Assistant Headteacher here at Parkland and we wish her luck as she begins her new role with us.

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  Our children have been buzzing as the weather has been glorious allowing for the Daily Mile to be completed in the sunshine as well as taking part in our Big Wheel and Walk.  Don’t forget, this is running from 21st March until the 1st April and everyone who takes part either walking, cycling or scooting to school gets an extra workout before and after school and will receive a certificate for taking part.

    Northern Ballet
    Our KS2 children had the most amazing time with Edgar Lomas from Northern Ballet who came in yesterday to teach a ballet session with them.  Our pupils were amazed at the core strength needed in order to perform ballet and worked muscles that they had never used before!  Our thanks go to Miss Spence who organised the sessions, we hope to have Northern Ballet in again for further workshops.

    Parents’ Evening
    Our Parents’ Evenings will finally be able to take place in person!  They are to be held on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th May.  A separate letter will be sent home with your child/ren soon and if you could sign up for a slot by Monday 9th May that will give you more chance of being able to have the time/s that you would prefer.
    We hope you have a wonderful weekend – the forecast says it’s going to be warm and sunny.  Don’t forget to put your clocks forward early Sunday morning – the lighter nights are coming!  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning.

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post, our pupils have had another busy week!  It was lovely to see our Year 1 children doing some planting outside as part of their focus on recognising the differences between living and non-living things.  We have had some visits from our local PCSO Andy Blood who came to talk to our Year 5 and 6 pupils.  He was also able to spend some time with our Reception class talking about his job – they even had the chance to look at a police car! 

    On behalf of Justin Bowmans family we have a collection tin for the charity ‘4Louis’ in school. There is a collection tub in main office and we have charity bands and lanyards for sale in Nursery from next week. Please ask us if you would like to buy something or make a donation.

    This week’s Skills Builder family challenge is to work together to create a piece of natural art.  Andy Goldsworthy is an artist who was educated locally in Harrogate and at Bradford College and specialises in natural art – you could Google his art work and have a look at some of the images.  If you complete this challenge, please send a photograph and there will be 5 Parkland Points for each child who takes part and they will go on our wall of fame in school!

    Police Visit in Reception

    Reception had some very special visitors today and they enjoyed every moment of it! They got to sit in the police car, learn about what police officers wear, the different vehicles they use and what they do to help us. Your child will have photos uploaded on to Tapestry in the coming days.

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post!  We have had a fabulous time as we celebrated World Book Day as it gave us all an opportunity to share stories with each other and dress up as either a favourite character or wear pyjamas on a bedtime stories theme. 

    Our Book Breakfast was a great success as many of you joined us to create bookmarks, front covers for new books and complete puzzles.  The breakfast was delicious and we would like to thank everyone involved in setting everything up.  
    At lunchtime, the kitchen team created a special menu to celebrate World Book Day which the children loved – thank you to Amanda and the team for all of your hard work. 

    Above all, it was a day to celebrate books, characters, illustrations and helps to raise the profile of reading, which can only be a good thing! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember to use your World Book Day voucher to get yourself a new book.  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning!
