The Corbet School Open Day

Friday 13th September, 2024

Welcome back!

Hello and welcome back to school!

We hope that you have had a lovely and restful summer and are looking forward to the new term as much as we are in Maple class.

We have had a very busy 1st full week back in school. We have been learning the ‘meet and greet’ song in French. In Science, we have been learning about sound vibrations and how sound travels. We did a mini investigation with a drum and some rice to show how the size of vibrations change depending on the loudness of the sound.

For Roald Dahl day, we made our own bookmarks and we had a lovely afternoon reading with some children from nursery. We also took a class photo to show off our amazing Roald Dahl day costumes!

Please continue to read with your child regularly. The children should have brought home their free read book and their new reading record. Logins for Times Tables Rock Stars will be going home next week. New spellings will be given out each week. There will be no traditional spelling test but you may wish to practise these further at home.

Head of School Message

What a brilliant first full week back in school we have had, topped off with a day celebrating Roald Dahl today!

I have been so impressed with the way the children have been coming into school in the mornings.  We have had so many happy faces and punctuality and attendance has been excellent – thank you all very much for your support with this.  The children have all settled well into their new classes and or/new teachers and support staff.  I have been particularly impressed with our 7 new reception children, they have made an excellent start to their school life.

Class Newsletters are available on the ‘Classrooms’ area of our school website.  These will give you a helpful overview of what your child will be learning in school and ways in which you can support us at home.  Teachers will continue to share photos and updates via Class Dojo and the school website so please check regularly.   A quick reminder that the easiest way to get a message to a class teacher is via admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk.  Class teachers do not monitor messages on Class Dojo.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Mavin

House and Sports Captains

We are delighted to introduced our new House Captains for 2024-2025.  We have also appointed a Sports Captain to lead our younger children in sports activities.  We know they will all do a fantastic job of leading their house teams, encouraging others to show our school values and being great ambassadors for our school.

Lunch timings

We have slightly adjusted the length of the lunch break in Key Stage 2 from 60 minutes to 45.  The children have coped brilliantly with the change and are enjoying not having to wait for their hot lunch!  This change in length of break is in line with other local primary schools and we are continuing to carefully monitor how the children are coping.
