 Resilience quote of the week: “She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.”
Resilient Riser: Connor - Gambia
I wanted to reach out to you all following Miss Hill's heartbreaking news. Our priority is supporting her and her fiancé at this very challenging time. Whilst we unsure of the future, it is times like this that the little things are put into perspective. We are so lucky at Thomas Coram, and across the Federation, to have a highly experienced team of staff, senior leaders and governors who will be able to support Miss Hill during this time and ensure there is minimal impact to the smooth running of the school and the education of the pupils. 

Thank you to everyone who has sent in messages of love and support. Miss Hill is really thankful and appreciative of your kindness. 

Best wishes 

Ms Roberts 

This week at Thomas Coram
This week at TC we are delighted that the  weather has been warmer and this has certainly lifted everyone's spirits. Y3 have been working hard in History looking at their new topic of The Stone Age and have been comparing Stone Age beaches with how they look today! Thank you to all the Y4 parents who attended the Multiplication talk on Monday we hope you found it useful and slides from the evening can be found here. Y5 have been working hard in Maths focusing on fractions and Y6 have been learning about climate change in Science and the effects this is having on the animal population. Thank you to Rebecca from Sunnyside for leading worship on Monday using The Parable of the Sower and talking about how sometimes things can be topsey turvey.  In singing assembly this week, we listened to Zulu music from South Africa and sung 'Circle of Life' from 'The Lion King.' We thought about the image of circles and how they can be symbols for many things in our world. We finished by singing 'My Lighthouse' about how God provides a light in our lives even through the more troubled times we may face.
