Fancy Dress Day Next Monday

As you may already know, the teachers were the winning team in the recent Family Fortunes teachers vs parents evening and in recognition of this children are invited to come to school in fancy dress on Monday 7th April. There is no theme for the event and children (and staff!) may wear any costume of their choice.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher(s.)

Sports Relief

Thank you for children’s contributions for non-uniform day last Friday. We raised £92.40 for Sport Relief.

Celebration Assembly

Just a reminder that it is our Celebration Assembly next Friday 4th April. Please could we ask adults not to park on the grass at school and not to block Bicton Lane but to use the village hall car park if needed. The Hall will be ‘open’ from 8:50 a.m.

Residential Trips

Please could all outstanding monies for the Stottesdon and Kingswood trips be in by Monday 31st March.

Travelling Books

Books will be on sale after school from Friday until next Thursday and each morning until next Friday. School earn commission on sales to buy new books so your support would be greatly appreciated.

Calendar

Please could we ask you to remember to check the calendar on the website for details on clubs; we are still being asked to phone parents because children think they are doing a club which is actually not running.

Swimming Letters

Please could any swimming letters for Year 3 and 4 children be returned as soon as possible.

All teachers are very grateful for your attendance at Parents Evening and for your continued support.

Many thanks.

Photoclub at the Church

We took advantage of the drier weather to go down to the Church last week. It always provides lots of photo opportunities with interesting stonework, plants and details as well as scenic possibilities. We all had fun and the kids took some super shots.

Congratulations to Ernie for winning our club medal for the second week in a row. Ernie has good control of his camera and many of his ideas translate into excellent images.

I hope the sunshine continues!

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who came along Friday evening to our Family Fortunes Teachers vs Parents. To say it was a fantastic evening is an understatement and it was really wonderful to see so many families at the event with adults enjoying the proceedings as much as the children!

Thank you to members of FOBs and parents who have given up so much of their time, to Bicton staff for their time (and for winning!), to the children of Bicton School for their hilarious answers and for being so good at not revealing the questions and a HUGE thank you to Doug Williams for making the event so enjoyable and entertaining!

Vernon needs to watch out!

Thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts for Sport Relief; the children all looked fantastic today and, as always, made a big effort with their outfits!

Please remember there will not be after-school clubs on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th because of Parents’ Evenings. If you have not booked a time to speak to your child’ teacher/s please do so by Monday, as the online booking system will be closed at the end of the school day on Monday.

Many thanks.

Science in Class 4

This week in Science we had to sort some materials into solids and liquids. It was quite tricky at first until we came to the decision that the materials we had were solids that act like a liquid! We had lots of fun playing with gloop, a mixture of corn flour and water and feeling the texture of it and deciding whether it was a solid or a liquid.
