Christmas Jumper Day – Friday 12th December

On Friday 12 December 2014 we are asking everyone to wear a festive jumper and donate £1.00 to Save the Children. There are loads of ways to wear it – try tinselling up a school jumper or dig out a woolly and get creative with sequins and snowflakes. If you don’t have a Christmas jumper, wear something else festive instead.

Fantastic Footballers!

A huge well done to our U9s who all played brilliantly on Wednesday evening at Sundorne.  They came top in their group and will now progress to the next round which is due to be held on 10th December.  A letter will be sent out once details have been confirmed. Thank you to all the parents who went along to Sundorne and gave fantastic support to the children and staff.

Y5/6 Athletics

Well done to the Year 5/6 children who took part in the athletics event at The Corbet on Thursday evening.  They came 2nd overall and showed real sportsmanship, cheering each other on.  Thank you very much to parents who helped with transport to and from The Corbet and who came along to support us.

Home-link books

Please can we remind parents and guardians to write in home-link books if children are staying for clubs and/or if they are going home on the bus.  We cannot stress enough how important this is.

Jars and buttons needed

If you have any glass jars (with or without lids) or buttons, please could you leave them at the Office for projects being done in Classes 4 and 3 respectively.

P.E. Kit

Please could children remember to bring their P.E. kit, including trainers/pumps, into school at the start of the week, as we are having to lend kit to children more frequently at the moment.

Letters home this week include:

Stottesdon residential visit (all children in Years 3 and 4)

Milk (free school meals children)

Hockey (for Year 6 children involved)

Update regarding Mrs Johnson’s acting head position and Mr Davies’ secondment

Fruit tasting

Today Class 1 read ‘The very hungry caterpillar’ and tasted all the different fruits that are found in the story.  They had lots of fun using their senses to desribe how they looked, smelt and tasted.

Emergency Closures – Winter Weather

In the event of Bicton School having to be closed due to unforeseen circumstances (loss of heating, extreme weather conditions etc) parents will be informed by the school website, twitter and phone where necessary. (Please ensure you have registered your email address on the school website).

If extreme weather conditions necessitate early morning closure prior to the start of school, we will ring Shropshire Council who will contact all of the local stations to broadcast the closure. Radio Shropshire will broadcast at regular intervals from 7.00am onwards. Shropshire Council will also put regular updates on their website, shropshire.gov.uk/school-closures.

In the event of weather conditions worsening during the school day or power/heating failure, arrangements will be put in place for children to be collected early.
