  • Parkland Post – 26th November​​​​​​​

    Published 26/11/21

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post, it has been another busy week full of learning and singing as we practise the songs for our nativity and carol concert in a few weeks time!  

    Parent Forum Feedback

    Yesterday, a team of parents and carers attended our Parent Forum and helped us to produce an action plan linked to mental wellbeing.  There were lots of discussions and it gave us a chance as school staff to find out how you are feeling about what is taught in our curriculum and how we support the mental wellbeing of your children.  We will communicate the action plan as soon as it has been finalised and look forward to having mental wellbeing as an agenda item at every Parent Forum in the future.  We would like to thank all of those parents and carers who came in to support this incredibly important aspect of school life.

  • Parkland Post – 19th November

    Published 19/11/21

    This week

    Miss Connors began the week delivering an assembly which focused one the this year’s theme ‘One Kind Word’.  She began by asking our pupils what kindness means to them and there were lots of good ideas from them.  Miss Connors then showed images of reminders of how to be kind and asked how we would put this into action across our school.

    Times Tables of the Week
    This week, KS2 have been reciting their 8x tables again so they can become more confident with this knowledge.  We have added a ‘bop’ to ensure we all stay together as we call them out.  In KS1, the pupils have been counting forwards in 2s from 20.  

    Learning across KS1 this week:
    In Year 1, they have been adding and subtracting within 10 and finding a total.  The pupils worked together as a whole class and then worked independently on these calculations.

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  What an action packed week we have had!  


    Cycle Week


    It has been Cycle Week and each pupil from Years 2 to 6 has had a cycling session in our playgrounds.  They have learnt how to be safe when cycling, how to look after bikes and have either been scooting or pedalling around having an incredible amount of fun! We would like to thank everyone from ‘Becycling’  for coming in to teach our pupils and we look forward to seeing you later in the academic year.


    Marvellous Maths

    Mrs Wierzbianski had an opportunity to visit each class in KS2 this week to speak to pupils about Power Maths, something which we have introduced in school to support our White Rose Maths approach.  Pupils were enthusiastic when talking about their new practice books and the various types of tasks which they complete during each maths session.  It was lovely to see how well the pupils are using concrete resources to give them a deeper understanding of maths concepts such as partitioning.  
    In the playgrounds this week, our times table focus in KS2 has been the 8 x table and your children are becoming much more confident as each week passes. Please continue to support your child by practising these tables at home as it will soon become second nature.  In KS1, their focus has been counting in 2s from 20 and they have done a great job, again becoming more confident when calling them out.  I know that Miss Anson is thrilled with the positive buzz around school for all things maths!


    Remembrance Day

    On Thursday, we came together as a school to remember those who gave our lives for our future.  Miss Connors led the assembly and was impressed by the pupils’ knowledge about remembrance before we observed the two-minute silence.  Members from each class brought examples of poppy wreaths which they had made together and other examples of artwork which look stunning on our display board in the hall.  
    We hope you enjoy your weekend and we will see you bright and early on Monday morning!

  • Parkland Post – 5th November

    Published 05/11/21

    This week

    It has been a very cold start to the week and to this half term, we hope you all had a restful October break!

    Parents Evening

    You should have had your parents’ evening letter this week, this year parents’ evening will take place on Monday the 29th November. Monday night will be for face to face appointments. You can opt for a telephone call instead which will mean the teacher will call you during that week after school. Please choose one option if possible. You can note down any preference of days or times that are convenient to you on your letter. Please return your slip by November 15th so we can then allocate appointments.

    Only people who are attending face to face appointments on Monday will get a letter with a time slot. Phone calls will be made when possible over the next 4 days.

    Miss Moncaster

    We are sad to say that Miss Moncaster will be leaving us at Christmas. We know that this will be a big change for both your children and yourselves and we will keep you updated with who will be teaching in Year one in the Spring term. We wish Miss Moncaster all the best. 

    Bonfire night / weekend

    As it is Bonfire Night tonight we hope whatever you are getting up to this evening and over the weekend you have a good time, and most of all that everyone stays safe. We will see you all back Monday for another fabulous week of learning!

    Ingleborough

    On Wednesday our adventurers in Year 6 set off on their residential to Ingleborough Hall- they had a great time and have gained alot of independence and team building skills. Thank you to our staff who went along with them and gave up their time to be there. We are sure they will have alot to tell you this weekend!
