Choir – Bicton Summer Fair

The choir are performing at the village summer fair tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock.  They have been busy practising songs for the event and we hope to see as many children there as possible.

Celebration Assembly

If you would like to make a donation towards Mr Davies’ leaving gift, it can be left at the office in an envelope.  Many thanks for the donations received so far.

Please remember to use the village hall car park once the school car park is full, rather than park on Bicton Lane.  We aim to start the assembly at 9:25 and hope to see as many people there as possible to join us in celebrating the children’s achievements and to say goodbye to Mr Davies.

Shropshire Sings

We have only had a small number of replies from children to say that they are taking part in Shropshire Sings on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, if we do not receive more replies on Monday we will sadly have to withdraw from the concert.  If this is the case, we will let everyone know on Monday and money for tickets already purchased will be refunded.

Year 5 Parents’ Lunch

Year 5 parents and grandparents are welcome to join us for lunch next week any day from Tuesday to Friday.  Year 6 parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters etc can join us for lunch following the Leavers’ Assembly on the last day of term on Thursday 16th July.

Sunsafe

Thank you for sending children in to school with a hat and with suncream applied.  There is always water available for children to get a drink in school but they might want to bring in their own bottle of water to drink during the day.

KS1 Athletics Festival/Year 6 Science Day

Please can permission slips be returned for the above events at The Corbet on Wednesday 8th, if you haven’t done so already.

Mr Davies – Leaving gift

Mr Davies has kindly accepted our invitation to attend our Celebration Assembly on the morning of Friday 10th July.  We would like to buy a gift for him to show our gratitude for all he has done for the school since he started working here in 2003.  If you would like to make a contribution towards the gift, please could it be given in to your child’s class teacher or the school office in an envelope.  Thank you.

Bicton Summer Fair

The choir will be singing at the village fair on Saturday 4th July. (Time to be confirmed)

Reporting absence

Please could we remind parents and guardians to telephone school before 9:30 if your child is ill and will not be in school. A message can be left on the answerphone if the office is not manned.

Envelopes

At this busy time of year, with lots of different events happening, please could we ask that any money sent in to school is in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name, class and what the money is for.

Shropshire Sings

The children have been busy practising the songs for Shropshire Sings on 8th July.  If you haven’t already purchased a ticket from the school office, there are still some available.

Sports Day – Tuesday 23rd June 2015

Just a reminder that next Tuesday is our Sports Day, providing it does not rain! Should the grass be too wet, as rain is currently forecast for Monday, we will make the decision as early as we can and send out a tweet/put a post on the website.  Fingers crossed we will still be able to go ahead so children will need to bring a drink and sunhat and remember to wear/bring to school their coloured t-shirt.  Our reserve date is still Thursday 25th June.

Please could we remind people to use the village hall car park and not block Bicton Lane.  The kitchen will be serving a packed lunch instead of the advertised menu and you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch and join us.

Hoodies

The order for the Year 6 leavers’ hoodies will be placed on Monday so all orders and payment needs to be returned by first thing Monday morning.

Brass Extravaganza

If there are any Year 5/6 children who would like to perform at the Brass Extravaganza on Monday 29th and have not returned their permission slip, please can they do so on Monday.

Tempest and Scholastic

Please could any school photograph or scholastic orders be returned as soon as possible.

Den Day

Next Friday 26th June is our much-awaited Den Day! Please could children bring a hat and drink and, if the weather is warm, have sun cream applied before coming to school.
