Critical worker and vulnerable children provision

Hello everyone

You may be aware that the government updated their guidance for schools on Friday evening about which children can attend schools during the current lockdown.

To keep the children attending school, our staff and our families safe, we ask you to only use the provision if you cannot keep your child at home. This is made clear in the updated guidance: Children with at least one parent or carer who is a critical worker can go to school or college if required, but parents and carers should keep their children at home if they can.

Thank you for your support and understanding, and for helping us to get through these worrying times as safely as we can.

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

Good Morning Acorns and Willow Class.  Ms Stone, myself and staff hope you have all had a super weekend.

Thank you for all the lovely feedback from last week’s story, we especially enjoyed seeing photos of some of the delicious Gingerbread Men that were baked.

This week our story is Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, once again presented by Ms Stone.  Enjoy, we hope you have a good week.

Weekly News 08.01.2021

Hello everyone

We cannot begin to thank you enough for all your support this week and what a week it has been! We are sure that you are as relieved as all the staff are that Friday has finally arrived and it is hard to believe that we are only at the end of the first week. I know, or rather I hope, that I will sleep well tonight!

The way in which children (and parents) have engaged with remote learning has blown us away and we have been so impressed with the work the children have submitted this week. Families have adapted to using Teams so quickly and coped with a range of technical difficulties amazingly well. We know that many of you are juggling your own work commitments and often trying to support more than one child at home. We are so grateful for everything you are doing to support your child’s education.

I spoke to several classes this morning over Teams and mentioned that we are reviewing how the teachers feedback to children on the work they have submitted. The letter below outlines what this will look like from next week onwards and I ask that you bear with us if we need to make further changes over the coming weeks.

Access to online reading books update

The Oxford Owl website has changed the login page, the link below is the updated one.

The children in Willow Class are enjoying reading and listening to stories from the Oxford Owl website.  I have set up a Willow Class login for them to access this at home.  The books work alongside our phonics scheme.

You can access some reading books on the Oxford Owl Website: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/login?active-tab=students

Do write in your child’s reading diary if they read some of these books with you.

Laptops loaned from school

We are aware that some laptops loaned from school will not connect to the internet when the children log in as a pupil, despite us altering the settings to enable them to do so. We are working as quickly as we can to get this problem resolved.

If you collected a laptop on Wednesday and you have not already contacted us to report the issue, please can you do so as a matter of urgency by emailing the school office at admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk

We will then confirm what we need you to do and your child’s teacher will be informed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

URGENT – Critical worker/vulnerable children provision

Good afternoon everyone

Thank you for completing the online form requesting a critical worker/vulnerable child place. We have had a very high number of requests for places which we are working through as quickly as we can.

The details of the provision will be posted on the website later today but, in the meantime, your child’s teacher will be contacting you via email/Class Dojo/Tapestry to confirm if your child has a full-time place from tomorrow. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL/NURSERY UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD YOU HAVE A CONFIRMED PLACE.

Thank you for your continued support and stay safe.
