Parents evening

Just a reminder that the Parents Evening booking system is now open on the website.  If you are unable to attend on the available dates and times, please speak to your child’s class teacher(s) and they will endeavour to meet with you on a different day.

Punctuality and absence

We recognise that the closure of the school car park may have meant changes to your morning travel arrangements but we have seen a large increase in the number of children arriving at school late.  Children should be in school for 8:55 when the register is taken. Our Education Welfare Officer from the Local Authority visits monthly and may issue ‘notices’ to parents/guardians if their child arrives late at school on a number of occasions.

Please could we also remind you to phone School by 9:30 if your child is off sick. Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Mrs Chadwick leaving

As you are probably aware, Mrs Chadwick is leaving at the end of this half term as she is moving away from Shropshire.  If you wish to make a contribution towards a leaving gift there is a collection at the school office.

Residential trips

If you would like your child to take part in the Year 5/6 visit to Arthog or the Year 3/4 visit to Condover next year, please return the deposit by the end of next week.  We need to confirm final numbers before the half-term holiday.

Hope you have a good weekend.

Choir performing at Bicton Church Harvest Service

The children have been busy practising this week for the Harvest Service at Bicton Church on Sunday 2nd at 6:30 p.m.  We hope to see you there.

Parents’ Evenings

The booking system for Parents’ Evenings in October will open on the website next Monday (3rd October.)  Please note that Class 5’s second evening is on a different day to the rest of the school.  If you are unable to attend on the dates available, please speak to your child’s class teacher(s) and they will endeavour to find an alternative time and day to meet with you.

Condover Residential 

If you have any questions about the Year 3/4 residential visit to Condover next April e.g. about the type of activities we do, dormitory arrangements, etc. please speak to myself or Miss Barratt. We need to confirm the numbers and pay the deposits by the end of this half term.

Special Lunch – Thursday 7th October

Red – Hot dogs

Blue – Fish finger wraps

Served with a choice of ketchup/mayo/BBQ sauce/American mustard

Purple Mash

In assembly this morning, children were introduced to Purple Mash which is a new educational website that we have subscribed to for curriculum resources and homework.  An information letter will be sent home with children next week, together with their individual log in details.  We discussed the importance today of never sharing a password, other than with family (and teachers), so if your child comes home this evening and says they were told “not to share” you now know why!

Teachers will explore the website with their class next week and show them how to log in, locate, complete, save and submit their homework and look at the different resources on the site.  If you have any questions, once you have had chance to look at the website, please speak to myself or any of the teachers.

Have a good weekend.
