Weekly News 19.04.24

Hi everyone,

We’ve had a perfect end to the week with the weather finally being dry enough for children to play on the school field at lunchtime today. In our end of week assembly, I always ask children to share what’s gone well this week and the overwhelming response today was them all being able to play together – big ones and little ones (their words!) – on the school field.

Disabled parking spaces – polite reminder

Please do not use the disabled parking spaces at the front of the school, unless you have mobility difficulties or are a blue badge holder. This will ensure that spaces are available for parents / family members who require them. Thank you in advance for adhering to this request.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. I’m off to London tomorrow to watch my sister run the marathon in aid of MacMillan Cancer Care, so I’ll let you know next week how she got on!

Years 3 and 4 Swimming – Starts Friday 26th April.

Just a reminder that Swimming for Year 3 and 4 starts next week on Friday 26th April –  we need to leave promptly at 8.55am.
Please can you complete the permission form and payment on sQuid at the same time.
As mentioned, due to budget constraints, we need to request a contribution of £6.00 per session – £30 in total.  We can only afford to take children swimming through your voluntary contributions and we are heavily subsidising the costs.   Swimming is part of the National Curriculum and we do encourage all children to take part.
All payments/permission forms need to be made by Thursday 25th at the latest.

Welcome Back!

Hello everyone,

It has been a good start to the summer term and it was a relief not to see anyone arriving with any limbs in cast this term!

Children have enjoyed the sunny playtimes and they are desperate to know when it will be dry enough for them to go on the school field at playtimes!

We welcomed Kallum and Evie to our school this week and we look forward to getting to know their families.

School uniform

In our second-hand uniform stocks, we still have gingham dresses and grey shorts in various sizes. Please speak to Lisa or Helen in the school office in confidence, if you require any items for your child.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Forest Church on Sunday 14th!

Dear Friends,

It’s Forest Church this coming Sunday (14th April). We are delighted to be meeting at Preston Montford Field Studies Centre, and Sue Dancey (who used to run the centre) will be leading various ecological activities for us. We’ll meet at 3pm, and then have a short service at about 4pm. Please do bring along a packed tea if you’d like to. Because the site is vast, we will stay in one part for the activities, but Sue or Arran (who runs the centre now) are very happy to give a tour after 4.15pm for those who are interested. 
Do dress for the weather! There are indoor spaces if needed, but we are hoping to be outside for the whole afternoon. 
Directions to Preston Montford (SY4 1DX): 
From the Holyhead Road heading out from town, take a right turn onto the B4473 just before Montford Bridge (this road eventually joins the Welshpool Road). The field centre is along this road, on the right-hand side- clearly marked. Go down the drive towards the big white house, and there is plenty of parking.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Blessings,
Hannah x

End of term news 22.03.24

Hello everyone,

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our Easter service this morning. The children loved being able to share their thoughts of Easter with you and we are so proud of how well they performed.

After break, we had a short assembly in school to think about the meaning of ‘saying goodbye’, to help us say goodbye to Alice and William from Birch class. We wish them lots of luck in their new schools next term.

I also spoke to children about changes that will be happening at Bicton at the end of the summer term. They had lots of interesting questions, which really made me and the staff smile and summed up how amazing our children and school are. Children have been given a paper copy of the letter below and I thank you in advance for your support.

Letter to parents from Mrs Johnson

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter holiday.

Love Mrs Johnson x
