1st week at School

The children in Class 1 have had a super start to their first week at school.  They have been very busy in the class room and outside area.  They have all done really well and we are really proud of the class.

This week we have looked at the letter sounds ‘m’ and ‘a’.  The children have also practised how to form these letters:

m – Maisie Mountain, mountain

a- around the apple and down the leaf

In Maths we have looked at number 1 and the concept of ‘oneness; – one is a single unit and it doesn’t matter about the size of what is been counted e.g. one elephant, one ant. The children then explored what happens when there is another 1 and  how they come together to make 2 and how 2 can be separated into 1 and another 1.

The children did really well changing into their PE kits and taking part in their first dance lesson with Mr Sudlow.  This term they will be basing their dance moves on music from the Jungle book.

All children have now been allocated a reading book and they have all chosen a library book to share with you at home.

Gardening Day 15.09.18

Can you spare a few hours on Saturday 15th September? If so, we would love you to join us at our first  gardening party of this school year.

We are planning on having a general tidy-up in the wildlife garden, flower beds and Early Years raised beds, as well as moving some of the less hardy plants into the polytunnel for the winter.  Weather-permitting, we are also hoping to finish a few painting jobs around school.

If you are able to spare a couple of hours from 10:00 onwards, please leave your name at the school office or speak to myself or Barbie Davies who has kindly offered to organise refreshments throughout the day.

Thank you in advance for your support and we look forward to seeing you.

The children have had a great first day back and seem to have enjoyed being in their new classes!  Just in case they forgot to bring their curriculum newsletter home, we have attached a copy below.

Summer holiday news

Thank you

On behalf of all the staff, thank you all for your support, kind words, cards and gifts at the end of term. 2017-2018 has been a very busy and, at times, challenging year for us at Bicton but the parental support and community spirit makes every day so worthwhile and sums up what is so special about our school and nursery.

It was sad to say goodbye to some of our staff and pupils but we wish them all the very best of luck for the future and are sure that many will stay in touch.  We are now looking forward to the next school year and the exciting opportunities that 2018-2019 will bring.

Online safety

Just a reminder that if you have any concerns during the holidays about your child’s safety online, please visit  https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/for more advice and information on how to keep your child safe online.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

A big thank you!

I just want to say a great big thank you to all the children, parents and staff at Bicton!

Today has been truly overwhelming with all the gifts, cards and kind words and I will miss you all very much!

Thank you for all the support you have provided me with over the last five years and I will be taking with me some wonderful memories.

Have a fantastic Summer holiday!
