Years 3 and 4 Swimming – Starts Friday 26th April.

Just a reminder that Swimming for Year 3 and 4 starts next week on Friday 26th April –  we need to leave promptly at 8.55am.
Please can you complete the permission form and payment on sQuid at the same time.
As mentioned, due to budget constraints, we need to request a contribution of £6.00 per session – £30 in total.  We can only afford to take children swimming through your voluntary contributions and we are heavily subsidising the costs.   Swimming is part of the National Curriculum and we do encourage all children to take part.
All payments/permission forms need to be made by Thursday 25th at the latest.

 

Our ‘Number Hero prizes

You may remember last term that Isaac T, now in Maple class, entered a National Numeracy competition in his own time. He won £1000 worth of maths resources for our school and, now that everything has arrived, we celebrated this in school in last week’s certificate assembly. The children seemed most excited about the Tiny soft toys!

Thank you again Isaac for being our very own Number Hero!

Message from Maple Class

Maple class have asked me to share this message with parents.
The way the ‘Give as you Live’ scheme works is you simply sign up to it. You go on to a website via Shrewsbury Ark’s website and it will automatically donate a percentage of your shop purchase to the charity. All you need to do is simply buy as you usually would and a percentage is donated to the charity.
This is linked to the Shrewsbury Ark charity which we are raising money for with our 5000km.
Thank you from Maple Class

Tree Planting Afternoon

Just before half-term, Maple class spent an afternoon planting apple tree saplings with members of our community.

We had the most wonderful afternoon planting some apple trees in an orchard in Bicton village. Children worked hard to dig the holes, plant the trees, and then walked to the nearby stream to collect water for the tree’s first drink!

During the dig, they had a worm search and counted how many worms there were in every hole. The children really enjoyed searching the soil and found some lovely other insects too.
We all look forward to returning to the orchard, to see how all of the trees are getting along, soon!

Panathlon Bowling Success

I would just like to say a huge well done to the group of children who took part in the Panathlon bowling event this morning. They came second out of 11 schools taking part which is a superb effort! We had a great morning and the children came back with individual medals, as well as a trophy and certificate for our PE board in school. 🙂

Sports Day Thank You

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for this year’s Sports Day and what an amazing day we had! We saw our school values demonstrated in abundance and, without a doubt, this is the best teamwork and sportsmanship I have ever seen at a Bicton Sports Day. We are so proud of all our pupils!

Also, well done to all the adults who took part in the races which were possibly the most competitive I have witnessed at Bicton! 🙂

Thank you to our amazing FOBS ladies who kept us fuelled throughout the day and raised well over £300!

Microsoft Teams

Good afternoon,

Please could you support your child with logging into Microsoft Teams this afternoon/evening to complete a task. This has been set up to make sure everyone knows how to access the work set in the event of self isolating or the bubble closing. I have been through the steps with the class this afternoon and they should know where to find the task set, there are some simple instructions if they have forgotten.

Please let me know if you have any difficulties.

Many thanks, Mrs Erasmus

Curriculum overview

Good afternoon,

 

Here is the curriculum overview for Rowan class and Maple class:

Autumn half term 2 overview

 

We had a great first half term back in school and it was brilliant to see how the children have all settled back into the school routines. We are really looking forward to diving deeper into our Geography topic of “Earthquakes and Volcanoes.”  Our English book “Escape from Pompeii” fits this topic perfectly and it has been brilliant to have seen the children combining their knowledge from both subject areas.

 

If a child has to self isolate or the bubble closes, remote learning will be provided via Microsoft Teams. There has been a letter which was sent out from Mrs Johnson before half term to explain how this will work.

 

Finally, if you can, please download the Class Dojo app so that we can share any achievements or news regarding your child. A letter has gone out with details on how to sign in.

If there are any questions at all then please don’t hesitate to ask!

 

Best wishes,

Mr Taylor and Mrs Erasmus
