Christmas Carol Concert

A festive thank you to our year 6 team captains who led proceedings in our first Christmas concert to be held at the Centenary Church. From ‘donkeys plodding’ to ‘camels bumping’ it was a wonderful showcase for our children to wish parents and our wider community a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hopefully, it will be the first of many new traditions for Park Academy. Well done to everyone.

We are feeling very festive today at Park Academy as it is our Christmas jumper and lunch day! The day started off with an exciting assembly where pupils had the chance to vote for the best Christmas jumper worn by staff. Children cheered loudly to vote for their favourite staff jumper. It took three rounds to find the winner as the competition was hard but in the end the children chose Mr Whiting!!There is a definite buzz of excitement around the school today and we are looking forward to what the day brings.

Children at Park spent a thought provoking day learning about the meaning of democracy. The children discussed how democracy relates to their lives and how it impacts on the fundamental values of our society.

Anglian Water Day

Y4 Sharks had a special visit from Anglian Water. It was a very educational day full of fun packed activities. As part of the day, the children learned all about the water cycle, they tested different water to identify what had been added to it, they discovered how to be water wise and not waste water, how to clean water and even made their own sewage, of course they all enjoyed this part the most (you’ll have to ask them how they made it). So if would like to water wise and save money too, just ask your child how and they will tell you how to do it. Also, they can give you lots of tips on what you should and shouldn’t do.

Year 6 had a taste of school life in Victorian times as part of their topic work on the Victorian era. The children came to school dressed in costumes, wrote their lessons on slates and tried writing with quills – which was very hard! After lessons the children tried a variety of traditional games. A great experience was had.
