FOBs News!

Hello from FOBS,
We had a great time at the Christmas fayre in the village and raised £52.50p towards our goal. Thank you for all those who visited us and bought something and to the children for making us laugh with jokes!
We have our Christmas party on 18th December. Please note that there is ONE WEEK left to buy tickets (from school reception). We have to have this deadline to enable volunteers to prepare for the party and do all shopping so we need. Tickets will not be available after 12th December.  Please see the poster for details.
We have also tried to write a document that you can talk through with your child (or children) if they have any questions about the disco – see here: Christmas party info for children 2025. We hope this helps.
Please contact us on our Facebook page if you have any questions.

🌍 Travel Tracking Has Restarted!
Miss Robinson from Living Streets came to relaunch our active travel tracking initiative this week.  I know our school isn’t best placed for walking to but it’s been great to see lots of children tracking their ‘park and stride’ journeys from the village hall. They are working hard towards earning their badges and we thank you for your support in this.

Experience Church

Year 5 and 6 were invited to spend the morning at Bicton Church on Thursday by Reverend Hannah and her team of volunteers! The children had a thoroughly interesting and enjoyable morning looking at different aspects of a Church building and how they are used in Worship. A huge thank you to all of the volunteers for giving the children such a warm welcome.
