We raised the grand total of £270 for Children In Need, from the sale of cakes and non-uniform donations. Thank you everyone!

Messy Church Bicton poster November 19

I am aware that my Weekly News did not email out to parents for some reason on Saturday so I have reissued  it – apologies if you receive it twice!

Spooky disco – thank you! (Updated)

Thank you to everyone who came along to the disco and to FOBS and other adults who gave up their time to organise the event and help with the tidying up. It was lovely to see so many people there!

We raised a staggering £497! Added to the income from the sale of sweets, and the costumes for the spooky disco, FOBS have raised £707 this term alone which is greatly appreciated and will be put towards buying classroom resources and learning materials.

Children in Need dressing up day – Friday 15th November

On Friday 15th we would like all children (and staff!) to come to school and nursery wearing either pyjamas or something spotty – the choice is yours! We ask that children pay £1 each and all of the money raised will be donated to Children in Need.

We would also welcome donations of cakes and biscuits to sell at breaktime – please do not send anything containing nuts and we thank you in advance for your support.

Christmas card orders

Please can all Christmas card orders be returned by Monday 11th, as we need to place the order by Wednesday 13th so that the cards are back in plenty of time.

Arthog residential

If you have not yet returned your deposit for your child to go to Arthog next June, please can you do so by Wednesday as we need to give Arthog our final numbers at the end of the week.

SAVE THE DATE: Christmas Celebration Assembly – morning of Wednesday 18th December 

This year, we are combining our Christmas performance with an end-of-term Celebration Assembly. Each class will perform part of The Christmas Story and we will also be presenting shields/cups for reading, writing, maths, PE and citizenship. The event has not yet been added to the calendar but it will start at 9:25 and we will provide an estimated end time once the children have started rehearsing their class performance.

Website password

The password has now been removed from the website, making it much quicker for you to access information and news. We are still awaiting a number of consent forms so, if you have not yet returned it, please can you do so as soon as possible. Thank you.

Cross country 

A huge well done to all of the children who took part in the second cross country event at The Corbet School, and really persevered in the awful weather! Good luck to everyone who is taking part in the third race on Wednesday 13th. The fourth and final race will be held on Wednesday 20th November.

EYFS play area – polite reminder 

Please can we ask that children do not use the Early Years play area after school, even if children are supervised. The facility is there for use during the school day only. Thank you.

Aldi Kit for Schools

Thank you to everyone who brought in Aldi stickers for our poster. We managed to complete it at the disco so it can now be sent off. We will then be in with the chance of winning £20,000 so we will be keeping everything crossed!

Finally…

Please can children make sure they wear a coat to school now that the weather is starting to turn a bit chilly.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Get your pyjamas or spotty outfit at the ready for Children In Need next Friday! We’d also welcome donations of cakes or biscuits for our cake sale.

Well done to all of the children for their hard work since the start of term. It has been a very long half term and it was wonderful to hear them sharing their achievements on Thursday morning in Worship. We discussed what they are proud of, the challenges they have overcome and who has helped them when things are a bit tricky.

Just a reminder that we return to school on Monday 4th November and there will be no Year 5/6 Brass or drum tuition that first week back but keyboard lessons will take place as normal.

Polite request

Please can adults collecting and bringing children to school or nursery refrain from parking on the pavement on Bicton Lane, as this causes an obstruction and can result in parents and their children having to walk in the road. Thank you.

Website password

The password is due to be removed from the school website over the half-term holiday. If you do not wish your child’s photograph to appear on the website and you have not returned the consent form stating this, please can you do so as a matter of urgency when we return to school.

Parents of children who joined the school or nursery this term will have completed the consent form already and other parents were given a form in the summer term. Duplicate forms were sent out before we broke up for any children who we were still awaiting consent.

Aldi Kit for Schools vouchers

We have almost filled our Aldi Kit for Schools poster so if you have any vouchers please could you send them in the first week back so we can send our poster off.  We are guaranteed to receive free sports equipment by submitting the completed poster and could be in with the chance of winning £20,000 to build a health legacy at our school as well!

Letters out this week

Corbet cross country event 06.11.19 – Years 3 to 6

Please can all outstanding breakfast/after-school club fees be paid before the end of term. School cannot afford to cover the staffing costs if fees are not paid promptly. Thank you.
