Breakfast Club and After-school Club online form

First Week!

Oak Class have had a fantastic first week back at school.  It has been wonderful to have the classroom full of children again, and watching them reconnect with each other has been lovely.

They have already risen to the responsibility of being our oldest children in school and role models to the younger children, and have been busy applying for various roles of responsibility within school.  Further details about these will be released in due course!

Curriculum information will be sent out next week, but in the meantime P.E will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Please send children to school wearing their P.E kit on these days – there are no changing facilities available in school.

Have a lovely weekend, and I look forward to seeing you on Monday.

First week back

Children in Willow Class have had a super start to the new school year.  You should all be very proud of your son/daughter.

We have all been so impressed with how quickly the children have started to learn the new routines and how independent they are already!

This week we have concentrated on the story of The Colour Monster

We will continue to explore the story and emotions next week.

Next week we will have our first P.E. lesson on Thursday.  Can you please send your child to school ready, they will stay in these clothes all day.

Tapestry – if you have not done so yet, can you please read this Tapestry letter. Then send an email to class1@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk   to confirm you have read the letter and agree to the guidelines, once this is done, I will be able to set up your child’s account.

Have a lovely weekend.

Welcome back!

Good afternoon,

I hope you all had a lovely summer!

We have had a super first few days in Maple class. We have spent lots of time practising hand washing and getting back into our school routine.

 

Time Tables Rockstars

This week we have practised using TTRS to help us with our times tables. Each child has a username and password that they can use to login and practise at home. Follow the link to the website

www.ttrockstars.com

 

PE

As you are aware, on PE days children will come to school in their PE kits. At the moment our PE days are Monday and Friday. Maple class know we are doing PE tomorrow so will hopefully remind you! If the days change we will let you know.

 

Reading books

Maple class have all taken a book out of the school library. This is for them to enjoy reading in school and at home. It is really important for children to read at home whenever possible. It doesn’t have to be the book they have taken from school, just whatever suits you! Please fill in their ready diaries when you have read.

If your child has a library book at home from last term, please bring it back ASAP!

 

It has been a pleasure welcoming back your children! They have been amazing considering the amount of time most of them have been away from school. I look forward to seeing them all tomorrow, in their PE kits!!

Thank you for your support,

Mrs Erasmus

 

Welcome back 02.09.2020

Hello everyone

We have had an amazing first day back!

It has been so wonderful to see our children back in school and nursery and to see and hear them running around on the playground having fun with their friends.  All of our new children seem to have settled in really well and several have introduced themselves to me at their classroom doors!

Social distancing and drop off

Please can we remind parents to arrive at their drop off place at their allocated time and not to arrive too early.  We know it was the first day back today but several parents arrived too early – this meant other parents had to push past to drop their child off if their allocated arrival time was earlier. We have worked really hard to put measures in place to keep everyone safe so we ask that everyone does their bit to keep all of our children, staff and families safe.

PE days

Teachers will let you know which day your child needs to come to school wearing PE kit. Please don’t panic if you see other children coming in wearing PE kit as your child will be told in due course.

School bags etc

We had a few questions today about whether children need to bring a school bag. They only need to bring a water bottle, packed lunch (unless they are school dinners), a snack for morning break, a coat, their reading book and reading record book so a large bag is not needed.

Take care

Mrs Johnson

* Reminders for returning to school *

Hello everyone

We are really looking forward to seeing the children tomorrow and I just wanted to remind everyone of some important information for this week.

Drop off and collection

Please adhere to your child’s allocated time and entry/exit point – signs will be displayed on the car park to help direct families to the correct place.

School dinners

The cost of school lunch has increased to £2.30 per day.  Please send cash or a cheque into school/nursery in an envelope marked clearly with your child’s name and the amount.

Water bottles

Children must bring a water bottle with their name written on and they will bring this home at the end of every day to be washed.

Quarantine after holiday

If you have returned from a country abroad which requires you to quarantine, your child must not return to school or nursery until the end of the quarantine period. We all have a duty to keep other children and staff, (and their families) safe and we thank you for adhering to this.

Home-link books

Home-link communcation books will not be used for the near future. If you need to get a message to your child’s teacher, please email the school office at admin@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk.

Take care and see you tomorrow!
