This week at Thomas Coram
What a fantastic week we have had at TC! Yesterday we had our amazing Rocksteady Concert and the children were incredible. So brave and so talented, all of the children watched in delight and it really got us in the Christmas mood. We also had an advisor from Hertfordshire come in yesterday to look at the personal development of the children across the school. She was blown away by all that we offer the children in enrichment: trips, visitors and clubs. She spoke to our pupil parliament and was inspired by how respectful and wonderful the children were. I was also so proud of them and in particular the child who said that what makes TC so special is how united we are and everyone helps and respects one another! Go team TC! I cannot believe we only have two weeks left until we finish, please do ensure you have read the calendar and know about all of the great Christmas things we have coming up over the next ten days. Have a wonderful weekend. 
Worship 
This week Father Stuart led worship on Monday, looking at the annunciation. Children then looked at this story in class. Children also looked at protected characteristics this week in worship and thought about why it is important people are not discriminated against. Today we had China's wonderful class assembly and celebrated our stars of the week. In singing assembly this week, we sang 'Little Donkey' and 'Defying Gravity.' We also enjoyed listening to Sam play the drums. Next week, we look forward to Sofia on the violin.
