Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post! We have been very busy across the academy and there has been some amazing learning happening.  Year 3 were investigating structures and following one of our Ways of Being, Succeed Together, as they worked as a team to create bridges.  Year 1 have been impressing me with their phonics knowledge and their excitement for reading.  Mrs Shirra launched the Blue Peter Reading Badge in Monday’s assembly and we have had a few reviews from our children which we will be sending off soon.  If anyone else would like to take part in this, you could have a look at the website here:

Happy New Year and welcome to our first Parkland Post of 2024!  Our children have made a fantastic start to the spring term, it has been a hive of activity.  Curriculum bubbles were sent home last week so you can see exactly what your child will be learning this half term.  Homework menus have also been sent home and I have been thrilled to see some amazing examples of work being brought back into school, especially from Indira in Year 3 and Miley in Year 6.

Welcome to this week's Wintry Parkland Post - what a week we have had!  It has been wonderful to welcome so many families through our doors during our Nativity performances and KS2 Carol Concert.  I am sure you will agree that they did themselves and us proud!  I love just how well everyone has worked together in order to achieve one of our Ways of Being - Succeed Together.  Thank you to all of the staff who have put in so much work behind the scenes; none of it would have been possible without you.

Welcome to the final newsletter of November - can you believe that next Friday is the start of December; where has the year gone?  This week has flown by with two well-attended parents' evenings, thank you for joining us for these, so we could share the progress your children are making.  We will feedback on the results of the parent questionnaire next week.

Wow, it's Friday already - how did that happen?  It has been another busy week which has meant it has flown by!  We have had such a positive beginning to November and there are so many exciting things to look forward to this half term.  

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.
