End of term news 22.03.24
Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for our Easter service this morning. The children loved being able to share their thoughts of Easter with you and we are so proud of how well they performed.
After break, we had a short assembly in school to think about the meaning of ‘saying goodbye’, to help us say goodbye to Alice and William from Birch class. We wish them lots of luck in their new schools next term.
I also spoke to children about changes that will be happening at Bicton at the end of the summer term. They had lots of interesting questions, which really made me and the staff smile and summed up how amazing our children and school are. Children have been given a paper copy of the letter below and I thank you in advance for your support.
Letter to parents from Mrs Johnson
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter holiday.
Love Mrs Johnson x
