Christmas!

Winter is certainly here, and Parklands is under a blanket of snow.  Well done to the nursery for making bird feeders.  You can find out how to make one by clicking here.

The children can now officially mention the word 'Christmas'.  Last year 640 million cards were sent in the UK.  To minimise waste, would you consider your child sending one card to their whole class, rather than to every pupil.

After Christmas we will be collecting Christmas cards to recycle for The Woodland Trust.
