Year 6 Bikeability

Just a reminder to Year 6 children that they need to bring their bikes and helmets to school on Wednesday for their first Bikeability session.  Children may leave their bikes and helmets at school overnight, if they wish, for Thursday and Friday; their bikes need to be chained up in the bike racks overnight or can be left in the corridor outside Class 5 .  If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to speak to Mrs Johnson or Mrs Jones.

Sickness

If your child has suffered from vomiting or diarrhoea, please could they not return to school until 48 hours after the last ‘episode.’  This is in line with Health Protection Agency guidelines.

School Calendar

We have now received all the reply slips back for the school calendar photographs. Your child/children will be bringing home a letter next week explaining what they will need to bring to school to wear for the photograph with each month having a different theme. This will not require you to purchase anything additional for the photograph.

Parents’ Lunch

Thank you to parents and family members of Class 1 children who found time to join us for lunch last week.  Class 2 are now looking forward to their parents and family members joining them for lunch the week after next.

Helicopter Visit

We are very excited about a forthcoming helicopter visit from RAF Shawbury, as part of Class 5’s topic on WW1.  During the morning of Wednesday 15th October, all classes will spend time looking at the aircraft and no doubt asking lots of questions. Parents and guardians are more than welcome to pop in during the visit but could we please ask adults to park at the village hall car park and not to park on Bicton Lane; parking spaces will be very limited before school and during that morning as the spaces along the hall/rear side of the school will be ‘out of use.’

Books

Children in each class have now given Mrs Johnson a list of books which they would like School to purchase with the money from FOBs. If there are particular books or authors which your child enjoys reading at home, and you think would be of benefit to the rest of the School, please let Mrs Johnson or the Office know and these can be added to the list.

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Johnson

As some of you may already be aware, Reverend Christopher Deakin will be leaving our parish in November and moving to Chester.  The children have all got to know Chris through his fortnightly Open The Book assemblies, his visits into class and also through the various events that he has organised at Bicton Church over the past few years, which we will miss.  Chris has also been a valued member of our Governing Body and we are grateful to him for his contribution to the life of the school and for his continued support.

Each class will be creating a card to say thank you and good luck to Chris but we would also like to show our appreciation of what he has done for the school by purchasing a gift.  If you would like to contribute to a leaving gift, any donations would be gratefully received and can be sent in with your child or given to Mrs Jones or Mrs Neal at the Office.

Many thanks
