Our Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) family stay and play session on Tuesday was a huge success!  What an absolutely fantastic afternoon of fun, games, play, smiles, laughter and creativity.

Thank you so much for coming along. We're not sure who had more fun ... the children or the parents, but it was great to see the engagement and joy brought by simply playing together in the sunshine!

It was a brilliant turn out, and lovely to see some younger and older siblings joining in the fun too.

To further enhance our outdoor play provision, we would be grateful to receive donations of equipment for our new sand and digging areas.  Such donations could include plastic spades, rakes, watering cans, child wheelbarrows, buckets etc (nothing metal for reasons of health and safety).

In time for September 2022, we have created new classes names to reflect our outdoor learning philosophy and wonderful outdoor environment.  Each class will be named after a type of tree …  Beech, Willow, Oak and Cherry to name a few.  We are excited to implement this across school.

We will be celebrating National Sports Week in school during week commencing Monday 20 June 2022.  Children are encouraged to come to school all week in their PE kits to take part in a variety of sporting activities.

We are delighted to be welcoming Stephen Miller MBE; Triple Paralympic Champion; in to Parkhead to open our Sports Week on Monday 20 June 2022.  Stephen will be in school all day to host assemblies, talk to the children and he may even give us some practical throwing tips and advice!   He has represented Great Britain for over 25 years in the fields of Paralympic club and discus throwing, competing in 6 Paralympic Games, 7 World Championships and 6 European Championships - so far winning 34 international medals.

SPLAT would be grateful to receive donations of bottles for their summer fair.  This could be bottles of water, juice, shampoo or something a little stronger for the adult stalls such as wine or beer!  Thank you in advance for your support. Please drop any donations in at the school office.

Our wonderful Mr Bee has secured at promotion at another school as from September 2022.  He is going to be a Deputy Head Teacher for which he has worked extremely hard and we know he’ll be brilliant at it!  He will be a fantastic addition to his new school, although we will miss him greatly next year.
