Lost uniform

The recent warm weather has seen many children taking their sweatshirts/cardigans off in and around school. Please could you check that all items of your child’s uniform is labelled and that they have not brought home uniform belonging to another child, particularly sweatshirts.

Letters home

Thank you for the great response to next year’s residential visit to Arthog for Years 5 and 6.  If you have not yet done so, please could you return the letter (and deposit if your child is going) as we need to confirm numbers with Arthog.  There are also still a few permission slips outstanding for Year 6 children for Bikeability.

Stottesdon

Letters regarding the Year 3 and 4 visit to Stottesdon, in the Spring term, will be sent out in a couple of weeks time.

After-school Clubs

Thank you to parents who have helped out at different clubs this week; we are extremely grateful for your support.

School Calendar

We are planning on selling a school calendar this year and letters will be sent home early next week regarding permission for your child to be featured in the calendar, information on cost, etc.

Thank you all for your support. Have a nice weekend!

Mrs Johnson

The first week has ‘flown’ and the children seem to have enjoyed their new classes and are settling into their class routines well.

Clubs

Football Club for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will restart on Tuesday 9th September. It will finish at 4:30 and children may go in to Film Club afterwards but will still need to pay £1:50 for Film Club please.

Please could we ask that any monies for Clubs (Craft, Film or Breakfast) be in envelopes clearly labelled with your child’s name and class.

We had a fantastic turnout at our Cross Country Club today and children who had not taken part before joined in very well. Thank you to the adults who accompanied us.

Hope you all have a good weekend and thank you as always for your support.

Mrs Natalie Johnson

Welcome back to all the children and their families;  it was lovely to catch up with several parents this morning.

Staff have been really impressed and pleasantly surprised with how children in all classes have settled into school today. Children were all keen to catch up with and make new friends, as well as share their news and scrapbooks from the summer holidays.

Clubs

The after-school clubs are currently being updated on the website calendar.  Please could we ask you to write a message in your child’s home-school/link book if they are staying for clubs; hopefully older children will be able to remember if they are staying! This will save Mrs Jones or Mrs Neal having to contact you if your child is unsure about after-school arrangements.

Free school Meals

Further to the letter you received from us before the end of last term, just a reminder that all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are now automatically eligible for free school meals.  Could we please ask that you still inform school if you are in receipt of welfare benefits, as this may entitle Bicton School to register for additional funding.

Many thanks.

Mrs Natalie Johnson

If anyone has any board games that are no longer used, Mrs Barker would very much appreciate them for Games Club on Wednesdays.

Thank you.

All medicine that has been kept in school this term for children will need to be collected from school on Thursday afternoon, the last day of term. Children who go home on the bus, any medicine will be put safely in their bags.

Any relevant medication will need to be returned at the start of term in September.

Thank you.

We look forward to seeing parents, families and friends at our Celebration Assembly this Friday at 9:25 a.m.  Please could we remind people not to park on Bicton Lane and to use the village hall car park once the School car park is full.

Thanks for your support.
