Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post! It has been another scorcher of a week, we’ve had lots of water and shade at the ready during our playtimes. It has been Refugee Week and on Tuesday, Mrs Heaven delivered an assembly on this theme using the story ‘There’s a Boy Like Me’. The children had a chance to think about the issues and heartaches that face children in the world today and showed such empathy.
Welcome to this week’s instalment of the Parkland Post! What a scorcher of a week it has been, our children have been loving playing out safely in the sun and have been taking part in some outdoor learning too.
Our attendance this week and last has been much lower than normal and I’m sure you know how important it is for your children to be in school and taking part in learning. Please ensure that you send your children into school unless they are poorly; even if they just feel a little bit under the weather. It is better to send them in as more often than not, they feel much brighter once they get busy with their learning. We also want to remind you that holidays during term time can’t be authorised and should be taken during the school holidays. It would be amazing if we can improve our whole school attendance next week – any class who have above 90% next week will get a spin on our attendance wheel! Year 2 enjoyed their non-uniform day today as a treat for their high attendance – well done!
Well done to Connor Sutcliffe in Year 5 who sent in his ideas for the home challenge with some fabulous ways of helping you get to sleep.
What a wonderful first week back we have had! It has been such a busy time at Parkland and our children have returned with big smiles on their faces ready to learn which is fantastic to see. Your child’s teachers will be sharing the curriculum webs next week which details what they will be learning about over the next half term and how you can support them at home. Homework menus will also be sent home which link to the wider curriculum subjects they are focusing on.
