Weekly News 15.12.23

Hi everyone,

We have had the most wonderful week in school, full of Christmas cheer and smiles!

Thank you so much for attending our Christmas performances this week. We are immensely proud of our children and we know they loved showing off their many talents! Thank you for the donations received towards tickets which will be put to very good use purchasing resources for the spring term.

I would like to say a huge thank you to our staff for their hard work in making the performances so successful and a special thank you to FOBS for giving up their time to do refreshments on both evenings.

It’s not all over yet though…

You are very welcome to join us at Bicton Church Carol Service on Sunday 17th at 6:30 pm, where some of our children will be singing. They are also singing at Bicton Co-op on Tuesday 19th at 9:30 am.

We break up at 3:15 pm on Thursday 21st and children can wear their Christmas jumper or festive outfit to school again on that day.

Have a lovely weekend.

Christingle Service

Thank you poster Ch.Soc.2023

We received the following message from the organisers of the Christingle Service at The Abbey which was lovely to hear – very well done Oak class and thank you to everyone who donated and purchased cakes.

“Please thank your pupils for making their Christingles, for their readings and prayers and for their excellent behaviour.  It was a delight to host them in the Abbey.”

Worship Committee Visit to Montford Church

Our Worship Committee spent a wonderful morning at Montford Church, exploring inside and outside the church.  They viewed the beautiful diorama, created thier own artwork and even learnt to play the handbells. Click the link below to see how quickly they picked it up – this was filmed just 10 minutes after they were introduced to the handbells!

Worship Committee 08.12.23

We are hoping this group of children will be able to come along to the Bicton Church Carol Service on Sunday 17th to play for the community. 

Thank you to Reverend Hannah, Andrina, Tricia and Janet for such a lovely morning 🙂

Weekly News 08.12.23

Hi everyone,

We have had another busy week in school and the children have been working really hard in their Christmas play rehearsals. Thank you for your support with costumes, and helping children to learn lyrics for songs or scripts if they have a speaking part.

We look forward to seeing you next week at the performances on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th. Thank you for the donations received for the tickets for the KS2 performances. This is much appreciated and will be used to cover the costs of the KS2 performances and to buy art resources for next term.

FOBS Raffle

We have more tickets available at the office for the FOBS raffle, if you want to purchase more tickets. Please return all stubs, monies and any unsold tickets by Friday 15th December.

Letters sent out this week – updates

Christmas events update 05.12.23. We will send a message out on Class Dojo next week about our return time from the pantomime on Friday. It will be earlier than 5:00 pm, as orginally thought, and we will confirm the time once we have spoken to the coach company on Monday.

Choir letter for a group of children involved. Children in Rowan class who are part of the choir will not need to bring PE kit on Thursday as they will be singing at The Coppice instead. Parents are welcome to watch the choir singing at The Co-op on Tuesday 19th.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Leaton Christmas Tree Festival

Dear Friends around Severn Loop,

The trees have arrived, and we are almost ready! Please can I warmly invite you along to our Christmas Tree Festival at Leaton Church – all of our trees have been decorated by community groups, and throughout the festival there will be refreshments and music. 
Do come along – the church will be open from 10am-4pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (8th-10th December). Drop in any time – there is no charge, but any cash donations will be split between the church and the Lingen Davies Cancer Centre. 
Our festival will culminate in a celebration service at 4pm on Sunday, where we will be welcoming Bishop Alistair Magowan (Assistant Bishop in the Diocese of Lichfield). 
We’re very grateful to Leaton Forest (just across the road from the church) for donating our trees – thank you.
Advent Blessings,
Hannah x
