In April, we had a non-

school uniform day to

raise money for the

Brook Hill Foundation.

Brook used to come to

our school and he unfor-

tunately had an accident

whilst skiing in France.

We all had to dress up inred because thats his

favourite colour and we

all brought money in for

a collection to raise

money; we also sold

bands and broaches.

The bands said on them

Brook Hill Foundation:

live life to the full. The

money will help otherchildren who have had

serious head injuries.

Were all glad that Brook

has made such a mas-

sive recovery!

CLASS 1 TO THE RESCUE!

In Class 4, Mr Rich came upwith a great idea that weshould do a country topic!

So he put country names in ahat and one by one, a childcame up and got one. For ex-ample, Zoe got Italy and Sashagot Greece.Then what we had to do is findout about the map, the flag,

tourism, food and drink andmore. Mr Rich said he was notgiving us ideas so we got onwith it. We worked non-stopand we loved it!

It was a great idea! Thank you

Mr Richs brain!

Class 1 had fun when they

were all transformed into su-

perheroes for the day! We

caught up with Mrs Latham

to find out more.

What did the children do onSuperheroes Day?

Bickerton Bear got kidnapped

and they had to rescue him.

They had to do some challeng-

es, like getting a key out from

a block of ice.

What did the children think

of the day?

They had a brilliant time!

What did the

children

wear?

Everyone

dressed up.

Some people

were Spider-man or Spi-

dergirl and we

also had some

Batmen, Bat

girls and Su-

per nurses!

Class 1 pupil Maisy Tudor said

I thought it was great fun andI loved the challenges, espe-

cially trying to find Bickerton

bear.

So now we know where to go if

we are in trouble!! CLASS 1!

A TOP TOPIC!

On Monday 15thJuly, Class 5 got

busy with mannequins!

They learnt about choking, bleeding,

Asthma, CPR and the DRS ABC (in

case you are wondering DRS ABC

stands for: D for danger, R for re-

sponse, S for shout (for help), Afor

airway, B for breathing, C for circu-

lation!) They had to do a short 2 mi-

nute play and the topics were: asth-

BICKERTONS

BRILLIANT BABIES

The Year 5 and 6 children have had avisit from the Cheshire Fire Service.

They told us how fires can start and

how to prevent them happening. Therewere loads of videos and they said we

should have a bedtime routine to clear

up the floor so if there is a fire you wont

trip over the things on the floor when

you are getting out! They also showed

us how to get out of the house safely if

there is a fire and what to do. We went

in the smoke tent and they were show-

ing us what to do and how to get down

low. This smoke was not toxic, but in a

real fire the smoke can kill you. It was

really fun and we learnt loads about

staying safe.

We have had a few new babies at

Bickerton recently!

Congratulation to Casper & Seb who

have a new little sister called Pur-

die . Millie and Alfies little brother

is called George and arrived earlier

this year. And Libbys new baby sis-

ter is called Amelia! Libby said It is

great to have a sister!

Congratulations to all the new big

brothers and sisters at Bickerton!

mummies

and daddies

ers haveall been

Year 4 and 5 went to Castleton for the weekend and we

had lots of fun.

On the first day, we got there at about 12pm and when we

got out of the bus, it was pouring down with rain so wegrabbed our bags and ran indoors! We did lots of fun activi-

ties like orienteering when we went round a field in groups.

We had to find a letter but we had a map that showed us the

directions. All the teachers had a walkie talkie and Mrs Par-

sons walkie talkie was playing up so the other groups could

hear all the answers! We also fed goats, played games and

made tents.

There were lots of nice staff to look after us. There was

Katie, Tom, Ben and Gareth. Katie cooked all the dinners

and we called her Super chef. On the last day, Katie

brought her pet in and it was a Harris hawk, the big bird!

She told us it once flew away and she had to climb a tree

and get it!

We all had fun! Thank you Mr Sweetman, Mrs Parsons and

Mrs Weaver for taking us!

went to Malpas church to sing in a special concert called

Songs for Fergus.

Loads of other schools came and did it too. Our school sang

was a great night. At the end, some people from our school

held the pots and people gave in money for Hope House be-

Why did you go to France?I went to France to learngood ways to teach Frenchin our school, and to improvemy French. I also wanted totry to make a link with a

tal.

What did you enjoy most about your visit?First, I really enjoyed getting better at French,talking with lots of French people and beingimmersed in French culture. I also loved visit-ing Toulouse what a beautiful town. I wouldlike to go back there!

Have you learnt any new French?Yes, loads! I had a wonderful French teacher

in Carcassonne who helped me to get myFrench more up-to-date. She was brilliant.She knew the parts of the language I wouldfind difficult and helped me with those.

Mr. Rich went to France to do drumming withthe police band as part of the D-day commem-orations. He told us Its 3 days of solid playingbut I loved it! It was very different to Englandthough.

They both had a great time in France. We arelooking forward to learning more French nextyear!

A NOTE FROM THE EDITORThe Bickerton Bulletin is here again to fill you

in on all the action from the summer term at

Bickerton School! And what a fantastic term

its been, with so very many highlights! Wevebeen spoilt for choice for exciting things to

write about, but we have tried our best to cov-

er most of the events and activities and hope

you enjoy reading it and remembering all the

fun times we have shared this term.

Well done to all the Bulletin reporters, who

have worked incredibly hard during the last 7

weeks, often using their own time to finish off

articles and help me. You should feel very

proud of our finished magazine as it is youramazing efforts that have produced it!

After 5 years of working on the Bickerton Bul-

letin, I have to say I feel very proud of every

single reporter and edition. It has been a real

pleasure to work with such talented young

people and to produce such a positive record

of our termly achievements. Although my time

as editor has come to an end, Im sure you

wont have seen the last of the BICKERTON

BULLETIN!!! Enjoy your read and your summer!

Every year at Bickerton School, each class runs for

England in our super school sports day!

Everyone gets into teams and cheers each other on and all

the parents come and watch. The races are: running, egg

and spoon, dressing up, skipping, sack and bouncy hoppers

for the infants. Cholmondeley won but we all had a great

time! And the sun shone! But you must remember, its not

about the winning, its about the taking part!

A DELIGHTFUL DAY AT

DEANERY!

The Deanery Sports took

place this year at Taporley

High School and there were

14 different primary schools

from the local area takingpart. There were lots of

events including egg and

spoon, sprint, sack, obstacle,

skipping, high jump and long

jump. The races are done in

year groups.

This year, the whole event

was organised by Bickerton,

so Mrs Parsons, Mr Innes andMrs Chesworth even had to

mark out the field them-

selves!

Overall, we came 2ndout of

14 schools, which is brilliant!

Mrs Parsons said I couldnt

have been prouder of

Bickerton School! Behav-

iour was excellent and

performance was out-

standing! Thanks to every-

one who took part orhelped.
