On Monday, Sarah form Sunnyside came in to talk to the children about Matthew 4:1-11. We spoke about the importance of preparing for things and ensuring we are ready for big events. Today we had our star of the week celebration and celebrated all of our wonderful children!
Important Information
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!
WORLD BOOK WEEK AUTHOR VISIT – LAST CALL FOR A SIGNED BOOK
On Monday 3rd March, the international bestselling author Jennifer Ball will be taking the children on an adventure through her new book, Magicalia: Race of Wonders, where spectacular beasts called magicores are conjured using different emotions.
They will learn about ancient meteorites, the science of energy and the magic of our imaginations as they discover the secrets of conjuring. Will they survive an encounter with a grudgernaut? How high can an ozoz jump? What sound does a hix make?
She will be signing books for the children at the event.
IMPORTANT – Parents, you can order her books from Our Bookshop, the host of this author visit…
https://www.ourbookshoptring.co.uk/product/magicalia-thief-of-shadows/
The signed books will be given to your child on the day.
This will be very exciting for all the children.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BEN AT OUR BOOKSHOP - Please include your child's name and class so the books can be labelled up for the event. Postage is not required; we will deliver all the books on the day.
If you have any queries regarding payments - please email wraparound@thomascoram.herts.sch.uk and we will get back to you.
GB Paralympic Athlete visit
On Wednesday 27th March, we will be having a visit from Kylie Grimes, a GB athlete. Kylie Grimes is a 3 x Paralympic Athlete who has played wheelchair Rugby at the Paralympics and is the first female to achieve gold in the sport in the world. Kylie will be coming into school and doing a sponsored circuit challenge with each class and doing an assembly for the whole school. Your child should have come home this week with sponsorship details. All funds raised will go between an athlete fund (ActivKids Uk) who help train athletes, and US! This will allow us to purchase new PE equipment and enhance our PE offering. We appreciate that times may be tough for certain families at the moment, so please do not feel you have to take part in the sponsorship, all children will be taking part regardless of any sponsorships that have been raised. The children were told about this event this week and are very excited.
Community Information
HCC Pedestrian Crossing Consultation
You may be aware that Hertfordshire County Council have launched a consultation regarding pedestrian crossings in Chesham Road and Hilltop Road. We believe these will increase the safety of the whole community. Please follow this link to complete a very brief questionnaire where you are able to indicate your support for the proposals. The consultation runs until 11.45pm on 3 March.
