On Monday in assemblies, Ms Teagle talked though the plans for the coming week, leading up the Queen’s funeral. We were able to connect our STAR teams from the Summer term with what is happening currently, with the arrangements starting at Balmoral, and then transporting the coffin to Buckingham Palace, and towards the end of the week the new Prince and Princess of Wales visiting Sandringham . Learning about Westminster and where the Queen will be lying at rest for members of the public to see really highlighted the immense public feeling and although not knowing it on Monday, the children would have seen by the end of the week, the miles of queuing and the vast numbers  the British public wanting to show their appreciation of the care, duty and loyalty the Queen has shown to her people.

On Tuesdays, we are having weekly assemblies with a focus on traditional tales ~ this week Mrs Brown, EYFS and Years 1 and 2, started with Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They thought about the characters in the story and whether they were making sensible choices with their behaviour and why!

On Thursday Mr Bagley and Miss Wallis  lead assemblies about the new King and his enthusiasm for all things environmental. We talked about how he was a long standing advocate for the environment and how he might influence change in the near future through his organisations and schemes.

Ad on Friday, we ended the week not only with our usual STAR celebration and reader of the week … but this Friday is National TA appreciation day!! We have an amazing team of support staff at TMS who go above and beyond for our children, as well as being an incredible support network for our teaching staff. All TAs received STARS of the week … and a massive thank you to all our team of TAs, from our children, staff and governors – THANK YOU!
