Welcome back after the two-week October half term. It is definitely feeling like autumn now, which is a good reminder to ensure that children have warm coats to wear to school.

What an amazing week of dance! Grace returned to work with our Year 4 and Year 6 children, delivering another series of inspiring dance workshops. It has been fantastic to watch the children develop their confidence, express themselves creatively through movement and challenge themselves to learn new skills. Seeing all of this come together in a polished final performance for families this afternoon was a real highlight of the week.

Below, you will find details of how you can support Children in Need and Run Pudsey this year. We are also incredibly excited to announce that we will be hosting the BBC Radio Cornwall Breakfast Show!

The BBC team, along with a very special guest, Pudsey, will be joining us at TMS from early in the morning until 10:00am. They will be getting involved in our activities and chatting with children, families and staff throughout the morning. There will also be opportunities for children to speak live on air, as well as some video recording for later broadcasts.

We will follow the media and social media permissions currently held by the school. If you would like your child’s permission to be different for this event, either to take part when they currently do not have permission, or not to take part when permission is currently in place, please contact the school office to let us know.

We are really looking forward to what promises to be a very exciting morning at TMS, while raising money for such an important cause!

We will also be commemorating Armistice Day on Wednesday 11th November. Alan Pope will be returning to perform the Last Post, and a small group of children will give readings as part of our commemoration.

Children who belong to a uniformed organisation, such as Brownies, Rainbows, Guides, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts or Cadets, are invited to wear their organisation’s uniform to school on this day. This will form part of our school’s Remembrance activities as we learn about service, sacrifice and the importance of remembering those who have served, both in the past and today.

This is entirely optional, and children who are not members of a uniformed organisation should attend in their normal school uniform.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mr Chirgwin
