Healthy Snacks and Packed Lunches

We’ve noticed that many children are bringing in large quantities of sweets, large bars of chocolate or family-sized bags of crisps for their break-time snack.  Children in all classes are provided with a piece of fruit or a vegetable stick each day but if children do wish to bring in an additional snack, could we please ask this to be a healthy snack e.g. a cereal order clonazepam 2mg bar, dried fruit, etc.

We also ask you to consider the health and nutrition aspect of children’s packed lunches, as we have noticed large quantities of chocolate bars in some lunch boxes in recent weeks.

If you have any queries about the above, please do not hesitate to speak to myself or another member of staff. Thank you as always for your support.

Weekly Newsletter 17.01.14

Children have had another busy week and we thank you for your support helping your child with homework, spellings, reading and for any special activities planned by individual classes.

We hope you are making full use of the School website, which we are very proud of, to check what is going on or coming up in your child’s class, read about and see photos of what your child has been learning this week and check the calendar for details on clubs, trips, etc. There is an expectation on us to limit printing as much as possible and the website has had a positive impact on how we communicate with yourselves.

If you do not have access to the Internet, however, please speak to Mrs Jones or Mrs Neal at the Office and they will arrange for a weekly newsletter to be sent home with your child.

Lost Uniform

Please could you check that your child has not come home in any items of clothing which belong to another child, as we have a couple of children who have mislaid sweatshirts in the last week (both of which are labelled with their names.)  If you could also check that your child’s uniform is labelled at the same time, we would be very grateful.

Many thanks for your support.

Head Lice

We have been made aware that there are a couple of cases of head lice in school at the moment. Could we please ask that you check your child’s/children’s hair carefully and use appropriate treatment if you find that your child is affected before they return to school.   

There are leaflets available at the Office with the latest information on how to treat for head lice but if you have any queries or questions please do not hesitate to speak to myself or another member of staff.

Thank you for your support.

Parking – reminder

Please can we remind people not to park on Bicton Lane in the morning or after school, as this is a danger to families crossing the road and often results in residents not being able to enter or exit their properties.  If the school car park is full, please park at the Village Hall car park.

Many thanks for your support.

Welcome back

Children seem to have settled back into school happily after the Christmas break and we welcome Edward in Class 1 and Imogen in Class 2.

Clubs

Please check the calendar for details of Clubs for this term. Sewing Club for Class 5 has now changed to a Wednesday, starting from next Wednesday 15th. Mrs Johnson will be starting Year 6 Booster next Thursday so the second Year 6 Cookery Club will start after Year 6 SATs.  All Year 6 are encouraged to attend Booster Club to support their in-class work. Year 6 parents will be invited to an informal meeting with Mrs Johnson and Mr Davies one evening this month (time and date to be confirmed.)

Shrewsbury Town v Leyton Orient

Well done to the children who attended the match on Tuesday evening – Mr Davies said children’s behaviour was superb and they enjoyed being mentioned over the loud speaker! Thank you to parents for giving up your time to accompany your child to the match.

Christingle Service

Everyone is warmly invited to attend the Christingle service at Bicton Church on Sunday 12th January at 11.00 a.m.
