This week has all been about science as we embraced National science week whole heartedly! As well as science happening in every classroom, we have had 2 afternoons working across the school with partner classes and not only fantastic science was happening, but also so much kindness, tolerance, understanding, compassion .. and everything else we value at TMS when children were making friends from other classes from different ages. The final competition took place this afternoon – much fun was had by all! Thank you to Miss Adams and Mrs Beckett our science leads for making this happen!

Other things hitting our TMS news this week, has been the remainder of Y6 visiting King Edward’s mine, Y5 have started swimming and this afternoon Emily Miles spent time with our Year 5 and 6 children. Emily works with the Autism team, and in light of so many of our children being neurodiverse and us celebrating neurodiversity week next week, Emily was kind enough to talk to our children about the celebrations and challenges these differences bring. A fascinating afternoon – Thank you Emily.

The school has also received some sad news about a former member of our staff. Mrs Searle had worked at TMS for several years, and died recently. Many of our staff and I’m sure, many in our community will be attending the memorial service this week. Much love from our TMS team goes out to Martin and the family as Nicky held a very special place in the heart of her colleagues and many children.

We wish you all a restful week -hopefully outside enjoying the wonderful spring weather!
