 Kindness, Resilience, Respect and Thankfulness 
This week at Thomas Coram
I cannot believe how quickly this half term is going, only two weeks left! I first of all want to start by saying good luck to our Year 6 pupils for next week. They will be tackling their SATs next week and I know they have all worked incredibly hard this year to get to where they are today. All of the children are superstars and I know they will all try their absolute hardest and that is all we can hope for from the children. I also want to say a huge thank you to all of the staff in helping prepare the children and for everything they have done to ensure our children are in the best position they can be in. Go Team TC and remember we are proud of you no matter what! Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to take some children to The Giggling Squid as a free taster session that they were offering to children to learn how to make some Thai cuisine. The children absolutely loved it and were  fantastic credit to the school! I hope everyone has a restful and calm weekend.

Eco Council update
On Tuesday the Eco council used seeds provided by Open Door to plant a Butterfly Meadow. 
The Butterfly Meadows project is an initiative by Open Door to increase biodiversity and to increase the habitats for butterflies. They are also running a colouring competition which all Thomas Coram pupils can get involved in. You can either print off a copy yourself or collect a sheet from Mrs Giles and then deliver to Open Door on the High Street. 

Bounce Forward
Bounce Forward are running a 4 session course for parents of Dacorum called Navigating Transitions. This course explores how to support children and young people to face change and uncertainty with mental resilience. Activities are provided to use at home to encourage a growth mindset.

Community Information

PICKLEBALL
Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK. It has elements of badminton and tennis and is mostly played indoors. If you enjoy playing racket sports perhaps you would like to try Pickleball.  At West Herts Wizards Pickleball Club we are introducing this fantastic sport to juniors. From Saturday 10th May we are offering children aged 8 - 18 yrs coaching sessions at Berkhamsted Leisure Centre . To reserve your place please contact sbeddall@hotmail.com
Sunnyside Family Friendly Eco Event
You are warmly invited to Sunnyside church's family friendly Eco event where children of all ages can make something to encourage more wildlife into their gardens at home. There will also be ideas for how we can all help look after the world better. Refreshments available. No need to book, just drop in. Saturday 17th May 10am-12.30pm.

Chesham Rugby Club
Chesham Ruby Club are looking to build their younger squad and are looking for girls from years 5 and 6. More information about it can be found here. 

 

Northchurch Social Club
The Centre is a charity at the heart of our community, supporting residents near and far for over 50 years with a space to meet, learn, play and dance, grow, socialise and flourish together - more than just a hall for hire. The centre and its trustees have a desire to support the community further, and the goal of Giving Week is simple: to rally both financial donations and volunteer involvement that will help expand the centre's reach, improve it's facilities, and amplify its positive impact across the community.
