  • Parkland Post – 27th January

    Published 27/01/23

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  We’ve had an amazing week across our academy with all of the children working hard.  I have loved popping into classes and talking to everyone about their learning.  I was particularly impressed with Year 4 who every morning, give some fast facts linked to the task they are doing – keep it up!

    PE with Mr Parkinson

    Our children can’t wait for their sessions with Mr Parkinson each week so they can continue to develop their skills set in areas such as teamwork, football, gymnastic, dance and hockey to name but a few.  It is always a joy to see their progress each week and to be able to see the PE sessions in action.

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post.  It has been a very busy week for our children, they have been sharing their learning with Mrs Wierzbianski who has been impressed with the quick recall of key knowledge.  She has also been excited to read Year 6’s writing about Antarctic animals which will be displayed on the wall outside their classroom from next week.  We will share photographs of their work in next week’s Parkland Post so keep your eyes peeled!

    Co-op Academies Trust Football Tournament

    Year 4 and 5 pupils attended a football tournament hosted by Co-op Academy Priesthorpe this week and returned with ENORMOUS smiles on their faces as they were awarded Gold for 1st place!  Our teams displayed one of our Ways of Being (Succeed Together) by communicating effectively, playing fairly and creating opportunities on the pitch during each match.  We are so proud of their achievements and would like to thank our hosts for their hard work organising and running the event.

    Welcome to this week’s Parkland Post!  At the end of a wild and windy weather week, we are pleased to announce that a group of our Year 6 children attended a PE competition and returned with bronze medals!  We are incredibly proud of the way they represented our academy and how hard they worked individually and as a team – they embodied Succeed Together; one of our Ways of Being.

    Published 06/01/23

    Welcome to the first Parkland Post of 2023!  We hope you have had a relaxing Christmas and New Year and that you are all ready for what is going to be a fantastic year.  Our children returned after the break with lots of stories to share and have been ready to learn.  We were visited by Mr Featherstone, one of our Governors this week who had the chance to meet lots of you on the school gate at the end of the day on Thursday.   

    Home-School Agreement

    Our new home school agreement will be sent to each family next week for you to read, sign and return to school.  Research has consistently shown that active parental interest makes a great deal of difference to how well children do at school.  You can help more effectively if you know what our academy is trying to achieve and what you can do to offer support.  Every home-school agreement which is returned by Friday 13th January will be entered into a prize draw to win a hamper containing food and drink.  The draw will take place in next Friday’s celebration assembly from 2:45pm.
