Welcome to this week's brightly coloured, spot-filled Parkland Post! As you probably have worked out, it has been Children In Need Day - we have been sporting our most colourful, spotty, Pudsey-related clothing in order to raise money for some amazing charities.

We will update you with our final total at the end of the day - thank you for being so generous.
Welcome to a wild, windy and rainy Parkland Post! What a week it has been - we have had a week of two halves with the majority of children being in school and our Year 6s on residential at Ingleborough Hall. There has been so much learning going on across the academy and children have been excitedly telling us the new knowledge they now have!
Welcome to the final Parkland Post of this half-term - it has been such a wet end to the week; thank you for still ensuring your children are in every day and on time, it has such a positive impact on their learning. As we approach the half-term holiday, please can you check in on what your child is accessing on social media and via their devices, so they can be as safe as possible and check the age restrictions on apps.

Welcome to this week's Parkland Post! We had a brilliant week with all of our children talking enthusiastically about their learning when we had a visitor at school. Our Eco Warriors have been busy tending to the Peace Garden during their club, and we have had the Class Charts Shop open for Key Stage 2 - next week, it will be KS1's turn, so keep collecting those points!
Welcome to this week's Parkland Post! The weather this week has certainly been changeable - one minute raining and the next it is beautifully sunny. Please can all children bring a waterproof coat with a hood and make sure to put their name in it, so it can be returned if lost.
Mrs Wierzbianski has been visiting classes this week and has been so impressed with the way children are coming into school and getting straight on with their learning. She loves to hear all about what they have been learning and has been thrilled to have so many visitors to her office from children who have good work to share - keep up the incredible work! One particular highlight has been seeing our Nursery children voting for their book of the day for story time - so many discussions around the 5 Frame; Is it full? What differences do you notice between each 5 Frame?
Welcome to the first week of this year's Parkland Post! What an amazing start everyone has made, it has been wonderful to see so many happy and smiling faces as families enter our academy each day. Thank you to all families for working hard at getting their children in on time and in every day. We will be having an attendance reward day on Thursday 5th October which Mrs Flaherty is organising - keep a lookout for further information.
Welcome to the final Parkland Post of the year! We have had an extremely busy week with so many events happening. It has been wonderful seeing so many parents and carers supporting each of our events this year – we have even more planned for next academic year so keep a look out for these!

We had visitors from the Environment Agency, Co-op, Adept, Biffa, Radiographers from BRI, West Yorkshire Police, Kala Sangam, YACAD. We would like to thank everyone for giving up their time to speak to our children and get them excited about potential careers in the future.
