Cheering the champions - an exciting end to the tournament 

Some of our Park Family regularly attend Burnley Junior Parkrun held at Towneley Park every Sunday at 9am. The run is a free, timed 2km course where anyone aged 4-14 years can run, jog or walk for fun. To attend, all you need is to register with parkrun to get a barcode which can be printed or shown on a mobile phone at the end. 

Over 14, fear not, regular free adult parkrun events are held at Holt House, Colne and Towneley Park on Saturdays and are a 5km course. All parkrun events are for fun, fitness and enjoyment and not a race. Everyone is welcome.

For further information, see the parkrun website or see Mrs Carson.

Well done to all of our students who had a fabulous first week back this half-term. The focus of this week was to deliberately practice our routines and expectations to make them a habit. All of our routines and expectations are designed to ensure a safe and calm environment for all students, ensuring their focus is on engaged and meaningful learning - both inside and outside the classroom. 

Following some whole class verbal feedback, Year 7 were fully focused and engaged on progressing with specialised cells. There was no rest for these scientists for Friday afternoon! Students worked with rigour, pace and enthusiasm right until that lesson end bell!

Year 8 have been creating fusion cuisines by combining Asian bao buns with American cheeseburgers. Recalling how to make a bread dough from their pizza practical, this time they shaped it around a burger patty, added some cheese before steaming it to create a soft steamed cheeseburger.
