 Resilience quote of the week:  “I tried and failed. I tried again and again and succeeded.”
Resilient Riser: Sam in Borneo
This week at Thomas Coram
Another half term ticked off! I just want to say a huge thank you to all of the support I have received this term from parents, children and staff. It has not been an easy term, but having the love and support from all of you in the community, has made each day easier for me! This week, we had our incredible Young Voices with our Year 5's, who were AMAZING!! I think it was the best Young Voices I have ever been part of: the songs were incredible and the children loved every moment of it! A big thank you to all the staff who supported the trip as it is a late and tiring evening but one of pure enjoyment! I am looking forward to next term with our Matilda production, World Book Day and Science Week. I hope everyone has a wonderful half term and manages to rest and relax. Unfortunately, there will be some sadness at the end of next term, Mr Phelan will be moving on at Easter, to a new job outside of education. I want to say a huge thank you for everything Mr Phelan has done for TC since returning and I know he will be missed, but we wish him the best of luck. I look forward to welcoming you all back on Monday 24th February, for a brighter happier term ahead!
Worship 
On Monday, Rebecca led our worship on The Parable of the Tenants and second chances. We discussed the importance of second chances and learning from our mistakes. Today we celebrated our wonderful stars of the week. Well done to everyone this term showing kindness, resilience, respect and thankfulness. 

Important Information

Play Equipment

On Monday I sent an email regarding the moving of playgrounds and bringing in play equipment. This will start from Monday 24th February and we are really excited to see how this works. If you are unsure of any play equipment please do ask me on the gate when we return. Some items mentioned were: Yo Yo's, Rubix Cubes, Hola Hoops, Small balls - which are not leather or hard, Tennis Balls, Skipping ropes. As a reminder these are the children's responsibility and if it something really valued that they do not want to take the risk of losing or breaking, then it should not be brought into school. 

Eco Council
DBC is holding a consultation on local cycling and walking infrastructure. Eco Council would like to make sure you have your say. More information and a QR can be found here. 

Wear Pyjamas for World Book Day - Thursday 6th March!

To celebrate World Book Day this year, all pupils are invited to come into school in their cosiest pyjamas with a copy of their favourite bedtime book! 

 Our World Book Day competition this year is to create a  'book in a box'.  Using an old shoe box or cereal box, children can recreate a scene or setting from their favourite book - we will be looking for bright and colourful creations that we can put on display in the library (we've attached some examples to inspire you!). There will be a prize for the most exciting entry for each year group and we're looking forward to seeing all your creations!
