Learning about the Romans and making an edible Roman road

Year 3 have been learning about the importance of the Roman roads built here in Britain. We learnt about both how and where they were built and the fact that some modern roads follow the exact same path…

Once we knew how they built these roads, we decided to give it a go ourselves and build some awesome edible Roman roads

We had so much fun – even if the custard turned a bit of a strange colour!

Hedgehogs and Rabbits have had a wonderful visit to the Centenary Church in Boston this morning. This follows our work on places of worship and the children’s interests in special objects. Reverend Val told us lots of interesting facts and answered all our questions.

The children were all very sensible and emulated our PROUD school values throughout the visit. What a lovely morning!

Zebras class enjoying using the new Learning By Questions software that we are using in the school. It’s a fantastic tool that we can use across all aspects of the children’s learning 😀

Pupils have taken part in the #nationaldayofremembrance throughout the school. A whole school themed assembly took place via the Teams online platform & pupils had time to think about those they are thankful for-& who have helped during the Covid pandemic

We celebrated World Book Day slightly later here at Park Academy, so that all our children could take part when school officially returned. What fantastic costumes from our favourite book characters!

Park Academy are excited to welcome all pupils back from March the 8th. This means all of our pupils who have been working incredibly hard from home can return to their classrooms, seeing both their friends and teachers in person. All of the safety measures put in place prior to the January lockdown, including staggered times, will remain during this time but some changes may occur as the Department for Education releases further guidance.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s return to school, please contact the school office on 01205 368805.

For your information, we have included the start and collection times for each year group below.

Year 2 and Year 6: 8:30-3:00

Year 1 and Year 6: 8:40-3:10

Early Years and Year 6: 8:50-3:20

Please be aware that these timings refer to when pupils should be in class and therefore are asked to arrive 5 minutes prior to their start time.

A selection of the fantastic art work produced by Zebra class. This was their final piece for Art week, combining their perceptions of four different emotions with the pencil skills learnt. A very impressive effort – well done all 😁

Happy Chinese New Year!

In reception we have been learning about how Chinese New Year is celebrated. We talked about how it had similar traditions to Diwali and Christmas that we learnt about last term..

We have been busy making paper lanterns, dragon masks and painting.

Great work everybody.

Year 5 keyworker children did – great effort!
