This week at Thomas Coram
What a fantastic week we have had! Our amazing Year 6 children, completed their final SATs paper yesterday. I cannot express how proud I am of every single child in Year 6, they have worked incredibly hard this year and showed true resilience and hard work all week! They have also enjoyed their disco this afternoon! Another highlight this week, was Cressida Cowell coming in yesterday. The children and adults alike, absolutely loved the workshop and we were so fortunate to have her come in. The children walked out so inspired to write and create, which is lovely to see in the children. We are all also looking forward to next week and our fantastic opportunity to take the whole school to the theatre! Have a wonderful weekend. 

Worship 

On Wednesday, Father Stuart led worship on Friendship and I am looking forward to our spiritual ambassadors starting to help with worship more form next week. Today was Finland's class assembly and although I was unable to attend I have heard it was fantastic and the children loved performing, well done Finland!

Captain's Club

Bookings for Summer 2 at Captain's Club are now open! Payments for Summer 2 are due by Monday 27th May.

Art Competition

The CPRE Hertfordshire's 2024 Children's Art Competition is now open and ready for entries. The competition is open to all year groups.

The theme this year is Why I Love The Countryside.

Children can draw anything related to what they love about the Hertfordshire countryside. Their drawings could be related to local wildlife, beautiful scenery, flower fields, trees through the seasons etc.

There is a prize for the winning school and individual prizes in each age group category. Wouldn’t it be great if we could win nature books for the school library and £500 to spend on creating an environmentally-friendly outdoor space?

The entry should be A4 in any medium (paint, pencil, pastel, collage). 

The closing date for submitting your entries to the competition is Friday 12th July. Please hand to your class teacher or directly to Mrs Bruguier. Please label the back with your name and year group.

Year 4 Residential Meeting

We would like to invite all parents/carers of pupils attending the Y4 Bushcraft residential in June to an information evening on Wednesday 22nd May @ 6.30pm. This is being held in the Year 6 block. Please enter the school via the main gate and walk around the school to enter the block.  We anticipate it will last 30 minutes. If you are unable to attend, please do not worry, the presentation along with FAQ's from the evening will be emailed out the following day. Please can you ensure your child's trip balance has been cleared, prior to half term. Mrs Randall will be available at the meeting to discuss payment plans for outstanding balances. This meeting is not for pupils.
