This week at Thomas Coram
The weather has certainly changed this week. On Tuesday, our morning running club were in for a great surprise when we ran in freezing temperatures and snow! But the children were not phased and tried their hardest! Well done team running TC! We also had our Jazz concert on Tuesday afternoon, which was wonderful. The children listened to lots of different genres of music and different instruments being played. It was nice to see the children singing along and so engaged. Thank you to Mrs Bruguier for organising. We have also had the Book Fair this week, which has been a real success and we have sold a huge amount so thank you for your engagement with the fair. We benefit from being able to get books after the fair with the money made. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Worship 
On Monday, Father Stuart was in leading worship and the children then followed up in class on Wednesday and Thursday. Today we had Croatia's class assembly, which was fantastic, thank you for sharing all you have been learning. We also celebrated our stars of the week.
