 Please ensure that each day your child comes to school equipped with a blue pen (and a spare blue pen).

Each class has PE twice per week. One of these lessons is taught by the class teacher and one is taught by Miss Minter our Sports Coach and Forest School Leader.

Your child needs to come into school in their PE kit on the days that their PE lessons take place. This is a red polo shirt, school jumper or cardigan and black shorts or joggers. For safety reasons, we ask that hair be tied up, earrings be removed (or covered with tape) and no hoodies be worn.

 All Year 6 classes have PE on Monday & Wednesday.

We are extremely lucky to have our very own Forest School and Forest School Leader at Thomas Coram. These lessons are taught by Miss Minter.

As Forest School takes place in the morning, your child needs to come to school in their Forest School clothes (with a change of school uniform in their bag). Forest School clothes is an old jumper, joggers and pair of outdoor boots or wellies. Forest School takes place in all weathers, so it is important that they are equipped to be outside. Legs and arms must be covered so shorts and t-shirts are not allowed.

Forest School for Year 6, takes place on Tuesdays, with Brazil taking part on Tuesday 9th.

Year 6 Homework is set on a Friday and due the following Friday. The homework is to be completed in the homework book. If you require a paper copy, your child can get this from their teacher.
