It’s definitely starting to feel very end-of-term-y at TMS, with all of those important end-of-year events beginning to be ticked off one by one!

Our transition days this week were a great success and it was wonderful to see the children spending time with their new teachers and classmates. Staff have also asked me to pass on a huge thank you to all the parents who took the opportunity to introduce themselves and begin building those important relationships for next year. The partnership between home and school is something we are incredibly proud of at TMS and one that plays such an important role in children’s success and happiness. Please don’t spend time worrying about something that is concerning you – pop in and talk to us before it becomes a bigger worry. We are always here to help.

Mr Chirgwin was also thrilled to spend two days with everyone this week and is even more excited about becoming a permanent member of the TMS team in September. He has already been made to feel very welcome by our wonderful school community!

A huge well done to our Year 6 children. As we would expect, they were fantastic during their transition days at Richard Lander School and the feedback from staff there was incredibly positive. We are always proud of your behaviour, attitude, manners and politeness, and you should be immensely proud of the young people you have become. You are more than ready for the next stage of your journey. Before then, though, we cannot wait to see your production – it’s going to be amazing!

Year 6 families should also be aware that the Department for Education has announced a delay to this year’s KS2 SATs results. Schools are now expected to receive the results on 16 July, which means we will be able to share them with pupils and families on 17 July, therefore year 6 reports will go out on Monday 20th July.

Finally, Miss Adams had a fantastic day at Porthowan yesterday with the TEC Girls programme. What an amazing opportunity to spend time with like-minded young people and celebrate the exciting world of female STEM careers. Experiences like these are so important in inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators.

As we head towards the final few weeks of term, there is still plenty to look forward to, and we can’t wait to celebrate all the achievements and memories that make this time of year so special.

Have a super weekend
