 Resilience quote of the week:  “I tried and failed. I tried again and again and succeeded.”
This week at Thomas Coram
Earlier in the week we welcomed Jennifer Ball to TC to celebrate her new book and talk to the children. We are so fortunate that we are able to offer so many different author visits for the children. Yesterday we celebrated World Book Day and had a cosy day in our PJ's! We also handed out our golden ticket bars, which the children were so excited buy. Thank you to everyone who bought one and raised money for TC. For World Book Day, we set a book in a box competition and I have been blown away by the amazing entries we have had! Well done to everyone who took part. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the survey yesterday regarding homework, so far we have the majority of parents wanting to keep the homework offering we have, but I will wait until Monday for the final results. Next week we have our second guardian consultation evenings and I am really looking forward to seeing many families next week. If you have not booked an appointment yet, please do! It is your opportunity to find out how your child is doing and celebrate their successes. Finally a sad farewell to Mrs Knight today as she starts her maternity leave, we wish her and her family the best of luck with beautiful baby number two. With Mrs Knight finishing today, we also welcome Mrs O'Neil who joined us last week and has already proved an exceptional member of the team. Have a lovely weekend. 
Worship 
On Monday, Rebecca came in to lead worship on leading Jesus and the Disciples. We ended with singing We're part of God's Big Family. In singing assembly this week, Sienna and Florence from year 3 sang 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. The four different year groups then sang a 4-part round which he have been practising. A special mention to the representatives from each year group who led each group. Congratulations to Evie K for her strong singing in the round challenge. We then sang and moved to 'I'm in the Lord's Army.' Today, we had Peru's class assembly - a huge well done to them and all the learning they shared with us.

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.
