Speak Out Stay Safe Online Assembly – Tuesday 23rd February

We have been informed today that the NSPCC are delivering a Speak out Stay safe virtual assembly on Facebook at 10am on Tuesday 23rd February.

They have special celebrity appearances from Ant and Dec and David Walliams, and their assembly helps children understand the importance of talking about their worries, and how Childline can support them. The NSPCC are hoping this will be a fun yet really informative opportunity for schools and parents home schooling alike.

News from Severn Loop

Dear Friends,

Have you scoffed plenty of pancakes?! I hope that you enjoy them to the full today…
As you know, we enter into the season of Lent tomorrow. We have a number of opportunities for you to join us in worship to mark Ash Wednesday:
Ash Wednesday Eucharist
Here is the link- we are suggesting a focus time of 11.30am, when we would normally have our service at Bicton, but it is of course available any time:
All-Age Ash Wednesday Service
This is hosted by Pyjama Church, and is available from 9.30am. We suggest you have something to make a cross with, some ash or earth, and a pen and paper. The link is:
Facebook Live – Trinity Churches or afterwards at Trinity Churches Shrewsbury – Home | Facebook. You don’t need to be on Facebook to access it.
Home Group evening Zoom, 7pm
Fr. Peter will be leading us in a discussion – do get in touch with him directly if you would like an invitation. 
24/7 Prayer
People around the Loop will be committing to praying in shifts for 24 hours from 8pm on Wednesday. We will be doing this in our own homes. You can simply set aside some time to pray, but if you would like some resources or more information about the theme – Worshipping in the Wilderness – then do contact Philippa Herbert. 
With love and blessings,

Wellbeing Wednesday gallery 10.02.21

Thank you for sharing your Wednesday afternoon photos with us. It’s wonderful to see so many of you getting out and enjoying the fresh air even though it was very chilly! And just in case you were wondering…Isaac was missing his friends and school so much he decided to wear his school uniform whilst he is at home! 🙂

Please feel to share any photos of half term with us when we return to school.

A message from our local church

Dear children, caregivers and staff,
Sending you love, prayers and blessings at this really challenging time in our life together. It has been lovely to be able to send school weekly worship films this past half term, and we can’t wait to be back with you in person!
Pancake Day falls on the Tuesday of the half-term holidays, and then we begin Lent the day afterwards – Ash Wednesday. We are really pleased to be able to offer you an all-age online Ash Wednesday service, which will be hosted by Pyjama Church – a collaboration between three Shrewsbury churches. It will be available from 9.30am on the 17th February, at www.trinitychurches.org – follow the links to their Facebook page.
Thinking further ahead, we are also planning an online Mothering Sunday celebration film, which we hope will feature a contribution from school! Look out for details nearer the time.
Meanwhile, do be assured of our prayers, and please get in touch if we can support you in any way.
With love and blessings,
Mary-Lou, Hannah and all at Severn Loop x

School and nursery open on Tuesday 26th and THANK YOU

Hello everyone

Firstly, I just want to confirm that school and nursery will be open on Tuesday 26th.  A snow day always brings challenges and none more so than today.

I would like to say a big thank you to the staff who have done whatever they can to provide remote learning today. Even though the technology seemed to be doing everything it could to prevent people joining Teams meetings from home (including me!), I’m very grateful for how our staff have kept things as normal as possible today for the children.

I’d also like to say a big well done and thank you to the children – not just for today but for the last 3 weeks. They never cease to amaze me with their creativity, independence, resilience, perseverance, the list is endless. I’ve observed them practising new sounds at home that they’ve learnt on a phonics video, retelling fairy tales whilst rearranging their lounge furniture in doing so, messaging their teachers over Teams when they get stuck on a question and giving each other advice on how to deal with IT issues, building a very unique snowman or snow cave, and even standing in flood water (supervised!) to test out water resistance of home-made boats! Bicton families you really are the best!

And last, but not least, thank you to Helen and Lisa (Mrs Jones and Mrs Neal AND their husbands) who spent a couple of hours trying to clear the school car park this afternoon. As fast as we were clearing one area, another one was freezing over so please take care tomorrow morning – it is due to freeze this evening so may be slippy in the morning.

Take care and stay safe x

P.S. If you haven’t already done so, please feel free to email photos of you in the snow to class teachers so we can put a gallery together on the website.

Weekly News 22.01.21

Hello everyone,

I hope your week has been ok and that you are looking after ourselves.

Thank you for all your support with your child’s remote learning and please continue to email your child’s class teacher with any queries/problems or just to share how well your child is doing. Next week we will be emailing out a link to a survey on our remote learning provision so please keep an eye out for it.

In our Teams worship today, we talked about what kind of week the children have had and how it’s important for them to take a break from their learning at home when they need to. I stressed to them that it doesn’t matter if they don’t get everything done each day and how they should not feel upset or worried about it as we know they are working so hard at home. We are so proud of all our children at home and in school, as we know you are.

If you haven’t read the emails sent out earlier this week, please can I ask that you read them today as they should be included at the end of my weekly news. Can I ask parents whose children are currently attending school and nursery, to pay particular attention to yesterday’s email regarding critical worker and vulnerable children provision. If you can keep your safely child at home it is vital that you do so, and let us know that you no longer require a place. The transmission rates are still far too high for us not to take this seriously and we need to keep everyone safe.

News from Messy Church

I hope this finds you well, and lockdown is being endured with as much grace as can be mustered! These times are so very challenging in so many ways. It’s been a real privilege to be back producing worship films for our schools this week, and as ever we have weekly online worship on offer. The link to Sunday’s service is https://youtu.be/Yf5mEo_qDhM  , and Pyjama Church is at 9.30am on Sunday (then available afterwards) at Trinity Churches Shrewsbury – Home | Facebook. In Pyjama Church we are exploring bible journeys, and this week we are focusing on the time when Moses and God’s people were wandering in the desert, and VERY fed-up- sound familiar?! Do join us if you’d like to.
With love, prayers and blessings,
Hannah x
And finally, I hope that you all continue to stay well. To our families who have been affected by the dreadful flooding this week, please stay safe and please let us know if there is any support you need.
Take care
Mrs Johnson x
