Reading Cinema Launch

As part of our whole-school initiative to encourage reading for pleasure, Miss Carr has introduced a ‘Reading Cinema’ which was launched this week with Class 5.

Year 5 and 6 have been voting all week for which book they would like to listen to. At the end of the day yesterday, they were all invited to enter the ‘cinema’ and, after lots of excitement at being presented with popcorn,  they enjoyed listening to ‘The Lost Thing.’

Next week, Class 4 will be voting for which book they would like to listen to then a different class will take part each week.

Keep an eye out for other classes enjoying this over the next few weeks!

Class 5 Science homework 17.01.20

Class 5 homework Create your own planet

To build on what they have been learning about our solar system this week in Science, Class 5 have been set the above homework task. This asks them to use what they have learnt about other planets to create a new planet, which could fit into our solar system. They can use IT to create their poster/information sheet/leaflet but not PowerPoint.

If you or your child has any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Weekly News 17.01.20

We have had a great start to the spring term and the children have quickly settled back into school and nursery after the Christmas break.

Whole-school Value

Our whole-school worship theme this half term is one of our school values – perseverance – and we have had lots of discussion about our personal goals and aims and how we can achieve these.  The children have been very keen to share what they would like to get better at e.g. neater handwriting, getting more writing done in the lesson, or working more independently in maths, and we have discussed who can help us to achieve our goals and the importance of persevering when things are a bit tricky.

Fundraising News

As you may already be aware, FOBS have arranged a ‘Welcome Back’ disco for Friday 31st January from 3:15  to 5:00, which is open to all children who attend Bicton School or Nursery.

We also have a new idea for fundraising which we hope you will be able to support us with.  We are looking for things which children could buy for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day,so if you have any unwanted gifts e.g. toiletries, etc, that we could sell for 50p/£1 we would be very grateful for any donations.

Reading at Home

We are in the process of putting together a newsletter about reading developments in school and ways to help your child at home. In the meantime, please could we ask that children bring their reading book and reading record book to school every day. Thank you in advance for your support.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Taste Testing in Class 3

Class 3 will be taking part in some taste testing on Thursday as part of their DT work.  Please can you let us know if your child has any allergies that we are not already aware of.

Many thanks, Mrs Thomas & Miss Moran

Class Christmas Parties!

Tomorrow afternoon (Thursday 19th December) all classes will be having Christmas parties after lunch.  All children are welcome to bring their own clothes to change into after lunch for the parties.  Children are not required to bring in any food or drink, as teachers are providing this as an end of term treat.

Chicken Pox

We have several children off with chicken pox.  If your child is suffering with this, they should not return to school until 5 days after the spots appear and all the spots have crusted over.  Please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/chickenpox/  for more information.

Christmas raffle

In order to allow parents to purchase raffle tickets at the Christmas Celebration Assembly, FOBS will now be drawing the raffle on Wednesday 18th rather than on the Tuesday evening after the Carol Service. Refreshments will still be served at school on the Tuesday evening and we would welcome any donations of mince pies. Thank you in advance for your support.

Tickets for Wednesday

We still have tickets available for the children’s Christmas Celebration on Wednesday 18th but only for the 1:30 performance.

Outstanding monies

All outstanding monies for clubs and school lunch need to be paid by Wednesday 18th at the latest. Thank you.

Diary dates

Just a reminder that we break up at 3:15 pm on Friday 20th December and there are NO CLUBS NEXT FRIDAY.  Please check the calendar for the events next week.

Have a nice weekend.

 

 

Decorating Bicton Church

While the rest of Class 5 were at the Coop for their first Choir event of the festive season, some of us visited Bicton Church. We decorated the Christmas tree and our ‘school window’ then enjoyed some refreshments with Mary-Lou, Hannah and Wendy.
