Loop Explorers

Loop Explorers

We are delighted that we can now offer a midweek group for primary school-aged children, two Thursdays a month, 4.30pm-5.30pm at Bicton Church. It is particularly for children who would value time to explore their faith, make friends and learn more about the Bible. Each session, we’ll do practical and interactive activities that are linked to a theme, share news and have a short time of prayer and worship. We’ll spend some time in the church, and some outside- engaging with the natural world.

We have spaces for ten children- please do let us know if your child would like to come (email Hannah at revhannahlins@gmail.com). The dates for the coming term are:

2nd October

16th October

6th November

20th November

Head lice

Head lice are a common issue in primary schools, and they can spread quickly among children, particularly when they are in close contact during playtime or group activities. While head lice do not pose a serious health threat, they can be a nuisance and cause discomfort for your child.

Regular checks of your child’s hair are essential for early detection and prevention of head lice infestations. Please take a few minutes to thoroughly inspect your child’s hair for any signs of lice, such as:

Itching or scratching of the scalp
Visible lice or eggs (nits) attached to the hair
Red bumps or sores on the scalp

If you discover that your child has head lice, it’s essential to take prompt action to treat the infestation and prevent it from spreading to other children.

We maintain strict confidentiality regarding cases of head lice, and your cooperation is vital in helping us ensure a healthy learning environment for all students.

To further reduce the risk of head lice infestations, please encourage your child to avoid sharing hats, hairbrushes, and other personal items with their friends. Additionally, remind them to avoid close head-to-head contact during playtime and group activities.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community healthy and happy.

Parent Dropins – Wednesday 22nd October

We are really looking forward to having the opportunity to talk to you about your child or children towards the end of this half term.

After the positive feedback we received last year, the Autumn term meeting will be an informal drop in. Instead of booking an appointment time slot, parents will be welcomed into the classrooms at any time within the given time frames. The teacher(s) will be available to talk to you about how your child has settled into their new class or year group, and you will have opportunity to look at the work your child has completed so far this year. If you have a specific concern that you would like to talk to the teacher about, please contact them directly via admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk to arrange a meeting.

We will be opening up the classrooms to parents from 2pm to 3pm, and then from 3.20pm – 5.20pm on Wednesday 22nd October.

Formal parent consultation appointments with bookable appointment slots will take place in the Spring term.
