Dear Parents and Carers
The start of this week saw the whole school take part in the 'European day of Languages'. I had the pleasure of observing many of the exciting and creative work that took place, including: drinking Turkish tea, singing in French and speaking Italian. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and certainly had to use their listening skills linked to our 'Parkfielder characteristics'. There is a great video available on our Twitter feed here.
Many of the school's sports teams have been in action over the past couple of weeks and the children have demonstrated their dedication and enthusiasm in all of the competitions. Mrs Banks, who accompanies the teams, has been incredibly impressed with the football team, the basketballers and the dodgeball squad. Good luck to the teams competing over the next few weeks and thanks to all parents and carers for your support in getting children to the fixtures.
Next Wednesday 9th October, we will have our first Parents' Evening of the year where the Parkfield staff are looking forward to a successful afternoon. In addition to the class teachers, myself and Mrs Whalen will be available if you have any questions.
And finally, if you are available this Saturday 5th October between 11am - 3pm please come along to the Friendship garden and join our PTA in the Parkfield 'Dig Day'. More details can be found below.
