*Weekly news 1st May*

Hello everyone

I hope you have had a good week despite the frequent showers!

I hope the children have been enjoying doing the activities uploaded to the website every Monday morning and if they haven’t had chance please don’t worry. The health and wellbeing of our families and staff is what is important and we just want you all to stay safe and well.  If your child wants to email any photos of their work to show us what they have been doing or just drop us an email to say ‘hello’ we would love to hear from them!

Year 5/6 brass – home access to Charanga/Yumu

Mr Alridge (our Year 5/6 brass teacher) is able to create individual pupil accounts for the online music platform (Charanga/Yumu) that he uses in our brass lessons. This will enable children to access the same music covered in lessons, as well as explore new material. If you are interested, please email him on the details below.

Have fun and don’t forget to post up what you have been doing. Check out Supertato: Veggies Assemble! - Fun Kids - the UK's ...

* Weekly News 24.04.20*

Dear families,

I hope you are still keeping safe and well and that you have had a good week in this first week of the summer term.

Key worker childcare provision

If you require key workers’ childcare provision next week, and you have not already let staff know, please can you email me by Saturday evening so that I can arrange the necessary staffing. Please remember, if you are able to work from home, your child should not be attending the provision at school which must only be used where there is nobody at home – we cannot stress enough that home is the safest place for your child.

Our priority is to protect the children and Bicton staff on site and and we thank you for your cooperation with this.
