The Nursery children have enjoyed finding out about Diwali. We have made Rangoli patterns, made and tasted barfi and gone on a coloured diva lamp trail.

The Diwali dancing was fun and exciting.

Toby and Kiera supported the school brilliantly at this weekend's Remembrance Day Parade.  Well done to both of them.

The children all successfully achieved the 6 Step Challenge and celebrated with a lovely tea party this week at school.

Lots of mums, dads, aunties, uncles, nannies and grandads all came to join in the fun. Fingers crossed we will have raised enough money to buy the children a fantastic outdoor role play area.  Thank you very much for your support.

Mr & Mrs Jakes welcomed Lily Grace into their lives on Saturday 24th October.  Many congratulations to the family.

KS1 had a lovely end to the week when they presented the new South Hall Super Stars certificates in assembly.

Children from Reception upwards had a great time at the latest disco last Friday.  Thank you to FOPLS for organising these regular events.

We had two great Harvest Festival Celebrations in school this week.  Just look at the fantastic Harvest Table....

The Salvation Army came and collected the produce helped by Year 3 pupils.

Mr & Mrs White also had their baby on Thursday this week - after keeping Mum and Dad waiting for a while.  Matilda Scarlett is a welcome sister for George.

Mr & Mrs Slack won the new baby race at school by having baby Harry on 13th October.  Harry weighed in at 5lb 3oz.  Many congratulations to both the new parents.

Well done to all the children, parents and friends who participated in the Fun Run on Sunday.  There was a great family and community feel about the event which was enjoyed by runners and spectators alike.

The group that ran in memory of Jackie Hodge, and another friend Paul Skelton are shown here displaying their medals.  Click here to see some other Park Lane families in action.

The Year 5 group returned safe and well, although very tired, after a successful week of outdoor and adventurous activities.  Well done to all the children and the adults that accompanied them

You will have seen from the flier that we are holding harvest assemblies next week, and the Salvation Army will be distributing any produce we collect.  We we be happy to accept Harvest gifts from next Monday, so many thanks.  It was lovely hearing the orchestra practising the hymns for the services, and the children's wonderful singing in hymn practice.

The latest figures of the money coming in from the sponsored walk is now £1500 - with still more to come in.  Well done everyone, this will really help support reading resources for the school.  More news and a final figure later.

Tom won the closest estimate of the huge marrow - he rightly estimated 11 kilos, whist Erin was exactly right with her estimate of 104 conkers in the jar!

Lots of other prizes were also won, but most of all the children shared some of the fun things they had done last week.  Well done Everyone!

The children and staff all had a lovely time doing fun activities during Maths week.  The week ended with everyone have a Golden Games Hour...and we had a variety of games from Monopoly, to mathematical snap cards.  All the children had great fun!

The whole year group celebrated a double christening, for Chloe and Billy (the 2 dolls) at St Andrews as part of their RE work. 

Reverend Gill talked to all the children about what happens when babies get christened.  Both Chloe and Billy had parents and God parents as part of the ceremony.

Can we remind you all to access and leave the school site by avoiding crossing the car park please?  Click here to download the brochure circulated to parents in March about this.

The good news is that the new cycle racks we are putting alongside North wing will be arriving at half term.

Well done to many of our pupils who took part in the Whittlesey Festival on Sunday - the country dancers and the choir entertained a big crowd at the Buttercross.....

 ...and some pupils had their art work on display as well.  A very well done to Lydia and Oliver who came first and second in the primary section.

Mrs Hughes and some of her Environmental Club manned a stall which featured some of the clay work the children has made to decorate the Sensory Garden.

Park Lane also sent three scarecrows to the Scarecrow festival in St Andrew's church... all with a strong 60's theme!

We are slightly changing our approach to school assemblies this year by focussing on themes which support PSHE in school.  We will still be doing class assemblies, but one of them in the year will showcase the work the children are doing as a whole Year group rather than be a polished performance.  We will send more details to parents about this shortly.

New photographs of each class with their teacher can be found on the Resources page.  Nursery and Reception classes will be added when they're all back in school.

We had a lovely day for the start of term, after the wet and windy start!  The children all looked happy to be back, and were very smart in their uniforms.
