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.

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.

Christmas Fair

Thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy and support our Christmas Fair fundraising event. We had a wonderful afternoon and raised lots of money to buy resources for school and nursery.

I’d like to say a personal thank you to FOBS, who put a lot of time and effort into the event, and to Santa and his Elf for making everyone’s afternoon!

Christmas Celebration Assembly

We will let you know this week when extra tickets will be available for the Christmas performances on Wednesday 18th December. The remaining tickets can be obtained from the school office on a first-come-first-serve basis and this will be no later than Thursday 12th.

Sickness absence

Please can we remind you that, if children have beeen sick or had diarrhoea, they must not return to school until 48 hours after their last bout of illness. This is to prevent it spreading to other children and staff.

Dogs not permitted on school premises

Dogs should not be brought onto the school playground at any time and there are signs to remind adults of this rule. We have also had complaints from parents that there is dog excretement on the path alongside the car park at the front of the school, where dogs have been allowed out of cars whilst parents are dropping off/collecting their child. Please ensure that any excretement is picked up and removed from the school car park to avoid it being walked into school. Thank you.

Parent lunch

Please inform the school office as soon as possible if you have booked a parent lunch and you are unable to attend.

Finally…diary dates

Please remember to check the website for news on Christmas events or refer to the letter of diary dates sent out last month. A letter will be going out this week regarding events involving the Choir and KS2 children who will be performing at the Carol Service on Tuesday 17th December.

Many thanks.

Aladdin

We had the most amazing time watching Aladdin at Theatre Severn! It was non-stop laughter from start to finish and the children’s smiles, cheers and even dancing were wonderful to see. Well done to everyone for such fantastic behaviour and audience participation!
