  • Parkland Post – 25th March​​​​​​​

    Published 22/03/22

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  Our children have been buzzing as the weather has been glorious allowing for the Daily Mile to be completed in the sunshine as well as taking part in our Big Wheel and Walk.  Don’t forget, this is running from 21st March until the 1st April and everyone who takes part either walking, cycling or scooting to school gets an extra workout before and after school and will receive a certificate for taking part.

    Northern Ballet
    Our KS2 children had the most amazing time with Edgar Lomas from Northern Ballet who came in yesterday to teach a ballet session with them.  Our pupils were amazed at the core strength needed in order to perform ballet and worked muscles that they had never used before!  Our thanks go to Miss Spence who organised the sessions, we hope to have Northern Ballet in again for further workshops.

    Parents’ Evening
    Our Parents’ Evenings will finally be able to take place in person!  They are to be held on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th May.  A separate letter will be sent home with your child/ren soon and if you could sign up for a slot by Monday 9th May that will give you more chance of being able to have the time/s that you would prefer.
    We hope you have a wonderful weekend – the forecast says it’s going to be warm and sunny.  Don’t forget to put your clocks forward early Sunday morning – the lighter nights are coming!  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning.

    Skills Builder Task

    If anyone manages to take part, please take some photographs, send them to Facebook Messenger and we will add your child to our Skills Builder Wall of Fame and they will gain 5 Parkland Points!  You might even be able to make it a BBQ if the temperatures stay high.

    Red Nose Day Generosity!

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post, our pupils have had another busy week!  It was lovely to see our Year 1 children doing some planting outside as part of their focus on recognising the differences between living and non-living things.  We have had some visits from our local PCSO Andy Blood who came to talk to our Year 5 and 6 pupils.  He was also able to spend some time with our Reception class talking about his job – they even had the chance to look at a police car! 

    On behalf of Justin Bowmans family we have a collection tin for the charity ‘4Louis’ in school. There is a collection tub in main office and we have charity bands and lanyards for sale in Nursery from next week. Please ask us if you would like to buy something or make a donation.

    Skills builder task

    This week’s Skills Builder family challenge is to work together to create a piece of natural art.  Andy Goldsworthy is an artist who was educated locally in Harrogate and at Bradford College and specialises in natural art – you could Google his art work and have a look at some of the images.  If you complete this challenge, please send a photograph and there will be 5 Parkland Points for each child who takes part and they will go on our wall of fame in school!

    Police Visit in Reception

    Reception had some very special visitors today and they enjoyed every moment of it! They got to sit in the police car, learn about what police officers wear, the different vehicles they use and what they do to help us. Your child will have photos uploaded on to Tapestry in the coming days.

    This week

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post!  We have had a fabulous time as we celebrated World Book Day as it gave us all an opportunity to share stories with each other and dress up as either a favourite character or wear pyjamas on a bedtime stories theme. 

    Our Book Breakfast was a great success as many of you joined us to create bookmarks, front covers for new books and complete puzzles.  The breakfast was delicious and we would like to thank everyone involved in setting everything up.  
    At lunchtime, the kitchen team created a special menu to celebrate World Book Day which the children loved – thank you to Amanda and the team for all of your hard work. 

    Above all, it was a day to celebrate books, characters, illustrations and helps to raise the profile of reading, which can only be a good thing! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember to use your World Book Day voucher to get yourself a new book.  We will see you bright and early on Monday morning!
