Parkland Post – 1st October
This week
Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post. We have had another busy week which started with Miss Connors who talked to the pupils about our British Value of Democracy and what this looked like at Parkland. Our classes have had their ‘elections’ and our new School Councillors have been voted for. We are looking forward to seeing how our School Council helps to shape everything in our academy.
Hot Chocolate Friday
Miss Connors met with some pupils from each year group to share a hot chocolate and a chat about how they are settling into the new school year. She also had the chance to find out about what they have been learning and the new knowledge they have gained which was a very lively conversation!
Times table of the week
This week, our times table was the 5 x table and by the end of the week, everyone was joining in- even in the drizzle! Next week, our focus for KS2 will be the 10 x table and in KS1, they will be counting in 2s. It is wonderful to see how eager our pupils are to join in with Year 6 leading the way!
We hope you enjoy your weekend, remember to encourage your child to practise their times tables, spellings and read for 10 minutes each day as this will help them feel more confident when in school.
Free Dinner Day!
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!
We will be having a free dinner day on Thursday October the 7th, the theme is seaside. There will have a choice of picnic sandwich boxes or Fish and chips with ice cream for dessert. No need to bring a packed lunch or pay- its on us!
Harvest Competition
This year our Harvest Competition has the theme of Scarecrows, all children from Nursery to Year 6 are encouraged to make, create, build or decorate a scarecrow, be creative!
We need your entries to be in school on Wednesday the 20th of October. They will be diplayed for everyone in school to see and staff will pick winners to recieve a prize and certificate in the Friday assembly.

Last Friday, our Pastoral Team went to a Co-op Academies Trust prize giving evening at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
