We would very much appreciate donations of cakes and biscuits for the Halloween Disco on Friday 23rd October.

Please leave at reception.

Many thanks

Great Shrewsbury Run

We would like to say a huge well done to all the children for their efforts in the Great Shrewsbury Run today and also for the fantastic amount of money you have all raised for the RDA; we know there is still money to come in next week but so far we have raised over £700!

Between them, the children and staff walked or ran over 600 kilometres today! The children behaved impeccably during the walk, as did the children who went to Prestfelde with Mrs Johnson and ran 35k between them over the lunch-break, and we are very, very proud of you all.

Please remember THERE ARE NO AFTER-SCHOOL CLUBS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK due to Parents’ Evenings.

Letters sent home this week:

Class 2 Parents’ Lunch 20th – 23rd October – Class 2

FOBs Christmas Cards letter and card template – all classes

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Johnson

The children seem to have settled back into school life easily and were all very keen to share their summer holiday news yesterday.  We have been very impressed with how our new Reception children have settled in so well and seem to be getting used to daily routines quickly.  Welcome also to Luca and Addison in Classes 1 and 3.

School Dinners

Please remember that your child is entitled to a free school lunch if they are in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, as part of the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme.

If you are in receipt of certain benefits, it is important that you still apply for free school meals as this may entitle school to receive Pupil Premium funding which can be used to support your child.  Application forms are available at the school office.

Flu Vaccinations

Year 1 and Year 2 children will be bringing home a flu vaccination letter and consent form today; please can the consent forms be returned to the school office as soon as possible. If you have any queries regarding the vaccination, please see the information on the small noticeboard at the front of the school or speak to Helen or Lisa at the school office who will try to answer any queries.

After-School Clubs

We are currently in the process of arranging after-school clubs for next week onwards and the website will be updated as soon as we have done so.

Many thanks.

Mrs Johnson

Mr Davies called in to school with a card, at the end of term, and asked if we could post his message on the website for you all to see:

To all the Staff, children, Parents and Governors of Bicton School,

Thank you all for your generous, kind and entertaining thoughts during the assembly.  I wanted to say more but, unusually, was stopped in my tracks by an emotional tsunami!

Thank you again for what you did.

I will miss Bicton.

I will miss you all.

Enjoy the break.

Best wishes

Mark

Thank you to everyone who attended our assembly this morning and made it such a special occasion for Mr Davies.  He was overwhelmed by the wonderful tributes paid to him from the children and the staff were so proud of how fantastically the children performed and held it together when things got a little bit emotional! Mr Davies has promised to send a photo of whatever he buys with the kind donations received and we thank you again for your generosity.

Year 6 Leavers’ Assembly

As mentioned this morning, everyone is more than welcome to join us next Thursday at 10:30 to watch the Year 6s’ performance – tissues definitely needed!

Dinner Money

Please could any outstanding dinner money be paid on Monday.

Letters home this week

Uniform letter – whole school

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Mrs Johnson and staff
