Parkland School Clubs
Cheerleading
We are delighted to offer further Cheerleading classes in the Summer Term.

Friends of Parklands
Friends of Parklands are a group of parents and carers who work together as a team to support our school in valuable fund raising.
Throughout the year we try to organise various events to generate funds which our families and children can enjoy. These events include disco's, Summer, Easter and Christmas fayres and fashion shows. All of the money raised goes straight back to the school for the provision of additional items that are of benefit to our school and children's education.
Friends of Parklands usually only meet once a month and we know that not everyone can attend all the meetings, but any suggestions you have or support you can give is invaluable.
We aren't just about working to raise funds, over the years many strong friendships have formed and great support networks, but most importantly you become involved in our school.
Gardening
Gardening club is open to Year 2 children. We meet on Thursday lunchtime. The children help to care for the garden, weeding, gathering leaves and planting seeds. In the time it has been running we have grown sweet peas, sunflowers and tomatoes. We have entered the National Potato Council's potato growing competition for 2 years - the children were tremendously excited when we dug up our crop!
During the winter months when it is not possible to go into the garden we have learnt about garden birds. We also have a bird feeding rota to care for our garden birds.
We were delighted to be awarded joint 1st place recently in the schools section.
Harlands Out of School Club

We run within the premises of Parklands Infant School and Harrington Junior School, providing quality childcare for children aged from 3 to 11 years old.

Recorders
Our weekly lunchtime recorder club teaches Year 2 children the basic skills of playing the recorder. Children are expected to practice at home. They are encouraged to use correct finger positions and to start to read music. The highlight of the year is to perform at our summer concerts.
Science
Parklands First Investigators Science Club runs on a Thursday lunchtime and is open to Year 2 pupils. There are many different challenges for the children to get involved with and pupils are encouraged to plan their own investigations in small groups. The main aim of this group is to develop the children's enthusiasm for Science and to encourage them to question and investigate the world around them.
