Reading Cinema Launch

As part of our whole-school initiative to encourage reading for pleasure, Miss Carr has introduced a ‘Reading Cinema’ which was launched this week with Class 5.

Year 5 and 6 have been voting all week for which book they would like to listen to. At the end of the day yesterday, they were all invited to enter the ‘cinema’ and, after lots of excitement at being presented with popcorn,  they enjoyed listening to ‘The Lost Thing.’

Next week, Class 4 will be voting for which book they would like to listen to then a different class will take part each week.

Keep an eye out for other classes enjoying this over the next few weeks!

Class 5 Science homework 17.01.20

Class 5 homework Create your own planet

To build on what they have been learning about our solar system this week in Science, Class 5 have been set the above homework task. This asks them to use what they have learnt about other planets to create a new planet, which could fit into our solar system. They can use IT to create their poster/information sheet/leaflet but not PowerPoint.

If you or your child has any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Weekly News 17.01.20

We have had a great start to the spring term and the children have quickly settled back into school and nursery after the Christmas break.

Whole-school Value

Our whole-school worship theme this half term is one of our school values – perseverance – and we have had lots of discussion about our personal goals and aims and how we can achieve these.  The children have been very keen to share what they would like to get better at e.g. neater handwriting, getting more writing done in the lesson, or working more independently in maths, and we have discussed who can help us to achieve our goals and the importance of persevering when things are a bit tricky.

Fundraising News

As you may already be aware, FOBS have arranged a ‘Welcome Back’ disco for Friday 31st January from 3:15  to 5:00, which is open to all children who attend Bicton School or Nursery.

We also have a new idea for fundraising which we hope you will be able to support us with.  We are looking for things which children could buy for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day,so if you have any unwanted gifts e.g. toiletries, etc, that we could sell for 50p/£1 we would be very grateful for any donations.

Reading at Home

We are in the process of putting together a newsletter about reading developments in school and ways to help your child at home. In the meantime, please could we ask that children bring their reading book and reading record book to school every day. Thank you in advance for your support.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.
