This week at Thomas Coram
Welcome back, I hope everyone had a wonderful half term although I am sure it feels like a distant memory now. I have had a wonderful week being back in the classroom and have been fortunate enough to have taught Gambia, Croatia and Madagascar who were all fabulous! I also took our Year 6 prefects on a walk yesterday, to prepare them for our open morning tours next week for new perspective Year 3 parents and we are very excited about showcasing how great TC is. Unfortunately, I do have a moan to end with. On Wednesday, the parking really was shocking, people were parked on the path and made it incredibly difficult for pedestrians to get through. Please can I remind you all again, to be respectful. I really do not want to get so frustrated that I am forced to close that turning circle. Please respect all members of the TC family and park accordingly. Sorry to end with a moan, but I really do feel at a loss for what else we can do out there. 
Worship
On Monday, Father Stuart led worship on Daniel and the courage of the prophet's and then classes then reflected in class on this on Wednesday and Thursday. Today I led celebration assembly and celebrated all our amazing stars and children. Charlotte in Peru, shared her English work which was incredible, so thank you Charlotte.
