    Published 13/06/25

    Welcome to this week's Parkland Post - we have had another busy time with lots going on in and out of the academy!  I have been so proud of the way our pupils have been switched onto learning and how they have interacted with our visitors to the academy this week.  We gave away some reading vending machine tokens today for those children who are working hard with their reading this half term so far.  I always love to see which books they choose and the enormous smiles they have when deciding!

    Welcome to this week's very soggy Parkland Post!  The rain hasn't dampened our spirits at Parkland and our Celebration Assembly was full of big smiles as each of the children won their awards.  It was lovely to see so many parents and carers joining us too; we love being able to share your child's successes with you.  This half term is always a really busy one so do remember to keep checking our Key Dates document so you can see when our events are happening.

    Welcome to the final Parkland Post of Summer 1 and what a half term it has been!  We have had a brand new build and outdoor provision built for Early Years, two successful Parents' Evenings where we could share news of how well your children are doing, Year 6 and Year 2 have done us proud with their SATs, trips for Years 1 and 3 and pedestrian training for Year 3.  We have so much planned for the final half term including a Pantomime on Monday the 2nd June!  M&M Productions are coming to perform 'A Little Princess' which tells a tale of bullying, challenging times and friendship.  We will have the popcorn at the ready to launch what will be our best half term!

    Welcome to this week's super sunny Parkland Post!  I have to start by saying how proud I am of our Year 6 pupils this week.  They have shown such resilience and have worked their socks off as they completed their SATS - they had a great time at our SATs Breakfast Club and had the chance to relax and chat with their friends and staff before tackling their papers.  They have all shown a mature attitude and definitely embody all of our Ways of Being.  They enjoyed a pizza treat yesterday afternoon to celebrate completing the tests!  Next week, our Year 2 pupils will be taking their SATs and Miss Walker will be getting them focused so they can show off just how much they have learnt this year so far - good luck to all of the Year 2s!

    Welcome to this week's Parkland Post!  It has been a very busy week with the construction of our new Early Years provision starting.  The children have loved checking in with the progress and are getting more and more excited as the days go along!  Year 6 had a brain busting day with a company called PET-Xi who did a wide range of maths revision activities before their SATS begin next week - they looked exhausted by the end of the day yesterday!

    Welcome to this week's Parkland Post - summer has arrived!  Thank you for sending your children in with hats, water bottles and having sun cream applied in the hot weather; it really does help them to stay safe in the sunshine.  We have had another busy week at Parkland, I have been so impressed at just how hard our children are working.  I particularly enjoyed spending time with our Year 4 pupils who have been busily learning and reciting their times tables - they had so much energy answering the quick fire questions!  Next week, on the 8th May, we will be marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day and children can come dressed in red, white and blue - the bunting will be up!

    Welcome to this week's Parkland Post!  We hope you have been enjoying the sunshine; it really helps to get you smiling, even if it has been a bit chilly in the mornings!  I was lucky enough to be able to visit our Year 6 pupils on their residential at Buckden House yesterday - they have been having such an amazing time.  I got to spend time with a group doing their problem solving activities which challenged them in lots of different ways and encouraged some fabulous teamwork.  I wanted to thank all of our staff who accompanied the children for the three days:  Miss Tindall; Ms Pascoe; Mrs Shirra (who even celebrated her birthday there); Mr Watson and a special mention to Mrs Denby who organised and cooked for everyone throughout.  Without you all, the residential wouldn't be able to go ahead - we are so grateful that you were able to be there for our pupils; thank you.

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post!  It has been a week full of learning and really positive experiences for our children.  We have had the University of Bradford in doing some STEM workshops for our Years 3 and 4 children.  They got the opportunity to work with Thomas and create bath bombs which they all enjoyed taking part in.  The children can also have their passports signed as part of the Children's University programme we are taking part in.  A huge thank you to Thomas for the full day of workshops and for teaching new skills and inspiring young minds.

    Welcome to this week's fun-filled Parkland Post and what a week it has been!  We have had a brilliant day today raising money for Comic Relief - we all wore something red or non-uniform and did something funny for money!  Our Parkland's Got Talent showcased just how incredibly talented our children are with a wide variety of singing, dancing, telling of jokes, ball skills and so much more!  The audience really enjoyed watching and being part of the show and our Year 6 panel of judges were amazing (watch out Simon Cowell).
