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!

Asthma, CPR and the DRS ABC (in

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!

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!

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!

er most of the events and activities and hope

Well done to all the Bulletin reporters, who
have worked incredibly hard during the last 7

proud of our finished magazine as it is youramazing efforts that have produced it!
After 5 years of working on the Bickerton Bul-

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!

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

year groups.
This year, the whole event
was organised by Bickerton,

mark out the field them-
selves!
Overall, we came 2ndout of
14 schools, which is brilliant!

iour was excellent and
performance was out-
standing! Thanks to every-
one who took part orhelped.
