Cross Country

Can we please remind all parents that Cross Country club finishes at 4:15. Every week we have children still here at 4:30 and beyond and we cannot guarantee staff being able to stay until this time so it is vital that chldren are collected at 4:15. Thank you

Operation Christmas Child

Thank you for the shoe boxes brought into school so far. We still have a few leaflets in school if your child did not bring one home. The shoe boxes will be collected on Monday 14th November so there is still time to bring one in if you would like to.

Joseph rehearsal

Some of the KS2 children involved in the Joseph performance have their first rehearsal on Monday 7th November. Please note this means they will not be able to take part in Monday’s cross country event at The Corbet School as it is vital that they attend the rehearsal. If you have any queries, please speak to a member of staff.

Poppies

Thank you for the fantastic response to this year’s Poppy Appeal. The poppies and the other fundraising products will be available from the school office until Friday 11th November.

Outerwear

Now that the weather has turned colder, please could you make sure that your child brings a coat/jacket to school for wearing at break and lunchtimes. Thank you.

Clubs and events

Please remember to check the website for any changes to clubs. A new multi-sports club will be starting in a couple of weeks every Wednesday for Years 3 to 6 but table tennis will no longer be running on Thursdays. We will send a letter out next week giving you an overview of this term’s forthcoming events as a handy reminder of what is going on up until Christmas.

Have a good weekend.

Friends of Bicton School have been incredibly lucky and have been awarded one ‘Golden Bond’ charity place for someone to represent us at the London Marathon, which takes place on Sunday 23rd April 2017.

We would like to invite interested parents, carers, staff and former students (aged 18 and over) to apply to take part and commit to raising a minimum of £800 in sponsorship for FOBS.

We will support you during your training and with any fundraising events you may choose to hold.

Bicton School is incredibly grateful for all the support that FOBS provides, which, in the past, has helped to pay for computers, sports equipment, school trips and library books.

Update

In English we have been looking at ‘slam poetry.’ The children wrote their own poems about Bicton School. We have been thinking about what makes our school special in PSHCE and these ideas helped us write our poems.

In maths we continued our work on shapes and looked at multiples of numbers and numbers with common multiples.

In geography we did some follow up work from our trip last week. We discussed what makes Shrewsbury special and what we knew about these features of Shrewsbury. The children worked in groups to try and persuade the rest of the class that a particular feature of Shrewsbury was the best one.

We wish everyone a happy half term and will see you all next half term!

Do write in your child’s reading diary if they read some of these books with you.
