Forest Church this Sunday

Dear Friends,

It’s Forest Church this coming Sunday- 3pm at Bicton School. If you are hoping to join us, below are the instructions about timings, what to bring and how to get there….
What to bring

Please bring your own picnic and drink. Do wrap up warm and bring a chair to sit on if you’d like to. It would also be a good idea to wear strong shoes- the ground is uneven and muddy in places. We’ll have a number of Advent -themed activities that you can get involved in. Because it is a school site, dogs are not permitted on this occasion.

 The Plan

We will be flexible and we also want to keep things fairly informal. Here is an outline of the afternoon:

3pm – Introduction from the Bicton children, welcome and an opening prayer

3.15-3.50pm – Activities and exploring the site – there’s a Forest School area, a sensory garden and plenty of playground equipment!

3.50pm – A brief worship service

4pm – Picnic Time

With love and blessings,

Hannah x

Thank you for your donations for Children in Need. We raised £231 for the charity and children (and staff!) looked great in their pyjamas or spotty outfits!

 

We have been informed of a couple of cases of headlice in school at the moment.  For more infomation on treatments etc, please visit the NHS website.

Please can you remember to top up your sQuid dinner money balance (if needed) to avoid the school office having to make lots of phone calls at the start of the school day. Thank you

Forest Church at Bicton School

Dear Friends,

Forest Church – Sunday, 27th November, 3pm-4.30pm – Bicton School grounds
Forest Church happens every half term or so, and is held at various sites around our parishes. You are all warmly invited to our next one, which will be in the school grounds.
We meet at 3pm and have a short introduction, then we are free to spend time exploring – there will be some activities and crafts available. At 4pm we have a short service (this time it will be to mark the start of Advent), and then we eat our picnic together.
Wrap up warm, wear sturdy shoes and bring a picnic! There are plenty of low logs to sit on, but you might like to bring your own chair. We are hoping to persevere whatever the weather, but we do always have the contingency of church, should it really be beyond tolerable! 
Please note that because it is school property, dogs are not allowed on this occasion.
We very much look forward to seeing you there…
With love and blessings,
Hannah x

Hi everyone,

We hope you are all keeping well. We have had several more positive COVID cases in school this week, affecting both staff and pupils, so we ask you to be extra vigilant please and do not send your child to school if they are poorly and not well enough to be in school. Thank you.

Please do not allow your child to bring Pokémon cards into school, as several children’s cards have been mislaid when they have brought them in to swap with their friends on Fridays.

Lingen Davies have asked us to share details of two events they are organising before Christmas – see below. All proceeds from these events will go to Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, to allow them to continue to support cancer patients across Shropshire and Mid Wales.

Christmas Dinner – Wednesday 7th December

Christmas Menu 7th December 2022

If your child normally has a school lunch, you do not need to do anything as they will just order their Christmas lunch on the day as normal.  We may ask you to let us know nearer the time, if your child normally orders a packed lunch and they would like to order a school Christmas lunch instead.
