Resilient Riser: Jacob - Norway
This week at Thomas Coram
A huge thank you to all of Team TC who have donated for the Break The Rules day for MND, being celebrated next Friday. As you know, this is now a charity very close to my heart and the support the charity give to patients and their families is incredible, so any money we can raise is amazing! I know the children will be really excited for this day, but normal expectations of course, still apply. I am really sad, as I unfortunately am not going to be in school next Friday, as Jonny and I are starting our first intensive rehab session in Manchester at a specialist rehabilitation centre that specialises in MND. I want to say well done to all the children for their amazing efforts with their assessments over the last two weeks. I know teachers will be sending home some exam papers to help parents understand where their child is at. I was particularly impressed this week when I went into Year 6 and observed their English lessons. The children were so engaged! I was also really impressed with our Year 5 children and the amazing persuasive letters they have been writing to me! They are incredible! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. 
Worship 
On Monday, we looked at the Good Samaritan and thought about how we could be better at helping others in our daily life, this story was then looked at in class worships on Wednesday and Thursday. In singing assembly, we listened to music from China as we entered the gym. Then sang a two-part round. Then thought about ways in which we could make changes in our lives and to not wait to make them. On this theme, we sang 'From Now On' from The Greatest Showman. Last week we listened to talented Sofia play 'Hallelujah' on the violin and this week we heard Isra (y3) sing Dance Monkey confidently. Today we had our celebration worship and celebrated our wonderful stars of the week.
