The Parkland Federation

A massive thank you to some of our our amazing Eco-Committee, who spent a morning doing a beach litter pick to help protect our local marine life and environment!

Our hard working children rolled up their sleeves and collected bags full of plastic, metal, and paper waste left along the beach.

The team's incredible efforts didn't go unnoticed either! Several members of the public stopped by to congratulate them and pass on their thanks for making such a positive difference in our community!

To celebrate a job well done, the team finished off with some very well deserved ice creams. Thank you to everyone involved for leading the way towards a greener, cleaner future!

We are incredibly proud of these Parkland dancing stars!

Every week, they head off to Stage Stars, where they spend hours learning songs, perfecting choreography, and pouring their hearts into putting on amazing shows.

Each of them took to the stage recently, performing multiple dance routines and even shining in their own solo and duet singing parts! Well done, everyone! It's a 10 from us!

Goodbye and Good Luck, Year 6! 🎓✨

Today we say a very fond farewell to our wonderful Year 6 cohort as they wrap up their last day with us!

It’s hard to believe how far they’ve come. This group had a truly unique start to their school journey, missing half of Reception and a whole term of Year 1 due to COVID lockdowns. Despite those early disruptions, they have shown incredible resilience, kindness and determination every single step of the way. We could not be prouder of the brilliant young people they’ve become!

To celebrate their journey and show just how much they’ve grown (literally!), we’ve attached a few photos from their Reception year. 📸🥹

Wishing all of our Year 6 leavers the absolute best as they head off to secondary school. Always remember to aim high, work hard and dream BIG! We will miss you! 🌟❤️

Our Reception children had the absolute best time visiting Hampden Park Library recently as they picked out new stories to bring back to the classroom.

Reading together isn’t just about learning words, it sparks imagination, builds empathy, and opens up whole new worlds for young minds. Getting children excited about books early on sets them up for a lifelong love of learning, and our trip was a fantastic step on that journey.

A huge thank you to the staff at Hampden Park Library for welcoming us so warmly. We can't wait to dive into our new books!

Jeffers Class has enjoyed some fantastic science recently, exploring the animal kingdom and discovering what animals need to survive. From identifying different species to classifying them by their diets and habitats, the children have thrown themselves into the challenge.

The children especially loved learning about pets and designed brilliant posters showcasing how to care for them. Keep up the amazing work, Jeffers!

Year 4 had an incredible time bringing history to life at Battle Abbey this week. After studying the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings this term, the children put their knowledge to the test.

They took part in an immersive Battle of Hastings workshop, stood on the exact ground where the Normans invaded, and even reenacted the historic battle itself!

The children learned so much, walking through history to create memories that will help their new knowledge stick. Bravo, Year 4!

Lawrence Class has thoroughly enjoyed making the most of the warmer weather lately by taking their reading adventures outside the classroom walls. The children have loved settling down in the fresh air with their favourite books.

This refreshing change of scenery does more than just brighten their day; it actively fosters a genuine love for reading. By showing them that books can be enjoyed anywhere, we are helping them build a habit that extends far beyond the classroom, nurturing a vital skill for life. Keep up the great work, and don't forget the summer reading challenge!

Milne Class has been learning all about how incredible the South East of England is!

Our young historians and geographers have been building up some serious expert knowledge, learning about the history of East Sussex and historic cities like Canterbury and Brighton.

All of this amazing classroom work perfectly prepared the children for our recent trip to Eastbourne seafront. Because of their hard work, they knew exactly what to look out for, including seeing the coast firsthand and discovering that Romans created the engineering that keeps piers standing!

Well done, Milne Class! You worked so hard to get ready, and it made our seaside adventure even more special.

Our EYFS outdoor area has been buzzing recently as the children in Kerr Class took on the climbing frame and trim trail. We’ve loved watching them put their strength, balance, and determination to the test.

From pulling themselves up with pure grit to carefully balancing across the walkways, their confidence is growing just as fast as their climbing skills! Bravo, Kerr Class!
