WELCOME BACK It's great to see everyone back and it's also great to see a few new faces. It was wonderful to walk around school yesterday and see all the children so happy to be back and the 'feel' of the school was back to how Parkfield should be, so a great big thank you for all of your hard work in making it a great start of the year.

There is an additional column for reading and White Rose Hub tests so you can record children's results that they acheive over the next few weeks - using last year's summer tests.
PLAYGROUND DUTY has been 'tweaked' please recheck the rota.
STAFF MEETINGS The minutes are available on the staff drive. However, I've added a link if you click on the staff meeting on 'Google Calendar'. The file is available online as a Google Doc. This will help everyone access minutes from meetings we have through the year. Again, a different staff member each week will be asked to be the clerk.
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT The school looks amazing! The classrooms are tidy and organsied and the new displays that have been put up look great. Well done everyone - let's keep this up :)
NEW BEHAVIOUR POLICY We have already seen a positive impact from this so thank you for promoting it so well and in a consistent way in each class.
THOUGHT OF THE WEEK Every moment is a fresh beginning. It's never too late to become who you want to be.
