Dear Parents

Firstly, can I say huge congratulations to the

Year 4 and the Year 6 girls’ football teams who

represented Parkfield so well last week in their

after-school tournaments. Not only was their

behaviour and sportsmanship exemplary, but

we also had one team from each group who

won each tournament. Well done! Also, a big

thankyou to Mr Latham and Miss Smith for

taking them.

As part of their dinosaur’s topic, this week Year

2 has been to The West Midlands Safari Park.

They really enjoyed their visit and learnt lots

about different dinosaurs and all the other

animals that are there. To help support your

children with their topic work this term, please

remember to encourage them to complete the

homework suggestions on the topic tutoring

sheets that were given out at the start of the

year to Years 2-6.

Everybody is still looking very smart in their new

uniforms this year. Please can I however remind

Parents that pupils in Years 5 and 6 should be

wearing a shirt or blouse with their ties. White

polo shirts are no longer permitted in these year

groups. Please see the uniform policy on the

school website for additional guidance.

Here's a photo of our girls’ football teams that competed in last week’s competition organised by Central Sports Partnership at Oasis Academy. Both our Year 3/4 team and our Year 5/6 team won gold, winning every game. 12 schools competed in each event.

School Nurse Service – Weight Checks

The school nurse service across Birmingham is no longer able to

offer regular weight check-ups in school. A recent report shows

that a large proportion of children in Birmingham are overweight.

Please use the following website to guide you in keeping your child

to a healthy weight:

https://www.nhs.uk/change4life/your-childs-weight/home

The website also provides lots of recipes for healthy meals and

snacks and ideas for activities to keep your child active.

Nursery Places – Spread

the word!

We still have spaces

available for our free

nursery places. If your

child was born between

1st

September 2014 & 31st

August 2015, please visit

the school office for an

application form.
