Welcome to a very wet and windy Parkland Post - hold onto your hats, make sure that your trampolines, inflatable Santas and winter lights are secured! It has been another busy week in the academy and we are hurtling towards the holidays. There are lots of events to come over the next two weeks and we can't wait to share these with you. A full list of our key events can be found below.
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post in what has been a really positive week! Thank you for joining us for our Parents' Evenings on Wednesday and Thursday to find out how well your children are doing at our academy. We were so glad that so many of you found it useful for Sheila from Early Help being there so she can help support families where they need it most. I would also like to thank YACAD for the snowman craft station - there were so many cute little snowmen being made!
We have had a number of visitors around our academy this week and everyone commented how settled our children are and were impressed with their behaviour for learning. It is the best part of my day being able to go into classes, see the great work going on and being able to give out special stickers, pencils and certificates for those that are working really hard.
Welcome to this week's very chilly P-P-P-Parkland Post; I hope you are all managing to stay toasty and warm. Thank you for your understanding when we have had to close the Springdale Crescent gate due to icy conditions. We have had another super week at Parkland with lots of learning going on! I have seen some great examples of work as I have visited classrooms and we have been fortunate enough to have some visitors from different academies across the Trust who have loved speaking to our pupils about their learning.
Welcome to this week's energetic Parkland Post! We had such a brilliant turnout for our Family Daily Mile this morning, there were so many funky outfits and we loved having families join in on the event. Thank you for the money you have raised - we will be sharing the total with you next week. Thank you to our fantastic PTA for the hot drinks for parents and juice and biscuits for each class.
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post - we have made a fantastic start to the second part of our autumn term! Next week looks to be even busier with Anti-Bullying Week and Assessment Week so please make sure that your child is in school every day (except Tuesday) so they don't miss any essential learning. You are all invited next Friday to our Daily Mile Event straight after the Celebration Assembly next week. Children can wear funky sports gear so they complete the final Daily Mile together.
Welcome to the final Parkland Post of the half term! It has been a whirlwind of a week with so many events in our academy. We began the week with Year 3's class assembly where they wowed us with their knowledge of Migration to Leeds and Bradford with a very funky song to end things. We had our Early Years Stay and Play, it was lovely to see so many families coming in so the children could show you what they have been doing. They also managed to raise £15 for MacMillan Cancer Support. We also welcomed families into our academy for our Harvest Festival and were treated to songs, poetry and lots of facts about food around the world. Thank you to everyone who brought a donation for local food banks - you are fabulous!
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post - I can't believe we only have one more week until the half term holidays. We have had such a busy week and there is no sign of things slowing down! We have shared the Key Events with you which details what we will be doing for the rest of this year. In addition to these dates, we are pleased to announce that we will be holding a KS2 (Years 3 to 6) Carols by Candlelight on the 12th December at 2pm. We have had lots of visitors around our academy this week who have been impressed with how welcome our children have made them feel.
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post and what a busy week it has been! We have had so many exciting events happening across the academy which gave our children lots of opportunities to develop new skills and work on existing skills. I strongly believe in our pupils developing the skills they need for life and for the world of work as it helps them to make positive contributions to our community and invests in their future. Next week, your child will be bringing home their Children's University passport - we will send out some information to go with it so you know how you can help them achieve their goals.
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post! It has been another busy week in the academy, we have had lots of visitors who said how welcoming it felt when they walked around and how lovely our children are which is always wonderful to hear!
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post! I can't believe how lucky we have been with the weather this week, it has meant that we have had so many opportunities to be outside for playtimes, lunchtimes, PE sessions and our Eco Club could get into the Peace Garden to keep it looking beautiful. Thank you to Isabel's dad in Year 4 who has been helping Mr Hadden with the Eco Council.
Welcome to the first Parkland Post of the year and what a start we have had! I have loved walking around our academy and seeing how each class has put an individual stamp on their classrooms. Our after school clubs are in full swing and most of them are full; it's great to see so many of our pupils enjoying taking part in them.
Welcome to our final Parkland Post of the year and what a year it has been! As Head of Academy, I am so proud of our children and everything they have achieved this year. I'm also proud of our community and the way we have all come together to support one another during difficult times and how we have celebrated together too. Thank you for all of your support this year and we will see you back in school on Wednesday 4th September
